Hi Stamping Friends!
- Start with two pieces of card stock, one Basic Black and one Whisper White, and cut it to fit the size of the stamp image. I made my card stock 3-1/2" x 4-1/2" because the Beautifully Baroque wood block was that size.
- Rub both pieces of card stock with the Embossing Buddy pad to eliminate static & fingerprints.
- Stamp the image in VersaMark onto the white card stock, centering it as much as possible. Use the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig if necessary for accurate placement. Emboss with Black Embossing Powder.
- Repeat the stamping on the black card stock, and emboss with White Embossing Powder.
- Use your Stampin' Trimmer to cut both images down the center.
- Match up the opposite sides and trim any edges that are not aligned flush. TIP: You can temporarily adhere them to a small scrap piece in order to match them up and trim the edges.
- Adhere the pieces onto a contrasting mat frame.
View the Split Negative Tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers, for more details.

After embossing and trimming, I matted my pieces side-by-side onto a 3-5/8" x 4-5/8" piece of Basic Gray card stock, then adhered it to a Whisper White card base.
Elegant Sentiment—The greeting is from the retiring Sweet Essentials stamp set, stamped in Tuxedo Black ink onto a 1/2" wide strip of Whisper White scrap. I hand-trimmed the ends into fish-tails and popped up the sentiment with Dimensionals.
Jewels—I decorated the design with one Large Rhinestone (these are retiring), and three smaller Rhinestone Jewels.
Taffeta Bow—I had some extra Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon that was retired from last year, so I used that to add a little bit of soft, elegant texture. Attached with a Glue Dot.
Automatic Two Cool—Since you only use half of each black and white piece, you have two more halves left to create another split negative card! That's two cool!
I made the second version into a wedding card and used the retiring Large Pearls and Pearl Jewels for decorative accents. Lovely!
