Pretty Negatives

Hello Nomad friends.  I have too many scraps.  I keep everything.  I am working on my thrifty habit.  But sometimes, when I die cut, the negatives are too cute to throw away!!  Today I cut Poppystamps Pickering Snowflake Background from glitter paper.  Some glitter papers cut better than others!  This one wasn't such a success, but I decided to at least try and save the negatives.  Then this happened.........



I used a violet mottled base card and stuck on the glitter negative cuts.


I stamped the whale from Rubber Dance Whale Wishes set black archival on white card and fussy cut.  The sentiment is also Rubber Dance from the Norwegian Just a Note set and says Thinking of You.  Don't you love those negative cuts!!  Perfectly splashy.......

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

I ‘m with you on the negative scraps. My files, folders, boxes and cupboards over floweth with them but I still can’t bring myself to throw them out! Would not have thought to put with a whale. What a great idea. I did see my win and my prize is being sent to me. Thanks. Hugs Mrs A.
