Unity's Friends with Flair: Postive & Negative

Die-cutting is a lot of fun & I have quite a few from a variety of companies, but I need to learn to expand my use of these shapes.  I save scraps from the variety of card projects, & use them on other cards... so why am I not making use of the die-cut scraps? So I gave myself a challenge for this week's FWF: to make better use of the die-cut scraps.

The easiest way seems obvious (now): use the positive & negative image of the die-cut.  So here goes...

Using a white card, I die-cut the leaf image into the card front.  Highlighted the negative die-cut image with some textured cardstock which I adhered to the front inside of the card.  Finished it off with one of the sentiments from Bitty Remarks on some patterned paper for a CAS card cr8'ion.

Remember that leaf die-cut... now, here's the positive image.  Placed it onto a craft cardstock card I cr8'd & used Vintage Handwritten stamp to create a watermark background to the card.  The leaf was framed by oval die-cuts, including the one with the stamped Itty Bitty sentiment.

Two relatively CAS card cr8'ions which fulfilled my self-challenge: to fully use die-cuts - even the scraps!  Mission accomplished.

I hope you enjoyed today's card cr8'ion!
Happy Cr8'ing!
