From Lorraine

Look closely at the lighthouse on this card. Lorraine used a technique called split negative. It's fairly easy, but takes a bit of practice. Basically, she stamped and embossed the lighthouse twice - one on Basic Black card stock using white emboss powder and once on Whisper White card stock using black emboss powder. Once both pieces cooled, she cut them down the centre and then matched the two pieces up to create this look. The great thing is that you can do the same with the two remaining pieces - they'll just be reversed - and you can make another card! One tip is to make sure the card stock you are stamping on is the same size as this will make it easier to cut them in half and line them up properly. Thank you for the lovely card, Lorraine!
