It's been a crazy week, and on one hand it seems really long, and the other hand, I can hardly believe it's Saturday already...strange, I know, but that's how my mind works!
It's Saturday -- time for another Just Us Girls Challenge!!
Lisa Kind is our challenge hostess this week. The second Saturday of every month, we do a technique, and Lisa has chosen the Split negative technique (not familiar? check out the Just Us Girls blog - Lisa has linked some great tutorials!!). This is one I have never done before, so I was eager to give it a shot!
I grabbed some neglected Papertrey stamps, and got to work. I think Scattered Showers is a great set for this technique!
To give the focal image a little more prominence, I heat embossed it -- looks so sleek IRL.
I wanted to add a splash of color, and I had this great ribbon from Michaels, that fit the bill perfectly.
I had a lot of fun with this one, and think YOU will too! Looking forward to checking out this week's creations!
Stop by and show the rest of the girls some love -- you know you want to -- it's VALENTINE'S weekend for goodness sake! :)
Have a super weekend!!!
Supplies:
Stamps: Scattered Showers (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Fresh Snow, Brilliance Black
Paper: Select White, True Black, Orange Zest, Raspberry Fizz (all PTI)
Accessories: White EP, Clear EP, Ribbon (from Michaels)
