Art Cards - Split Negative

Art Cards (Artekarten) has a fascinating challenge for today. I think it is a beautiful effect. Stamping twice, cutting in half, joining opposites together is what I did. Butterflies are heat  embossed. The stamp was a gift from Frankie. Fiskar edge border punch-out is along the side.


Note added on Monday:
When I made this card, I had no idea I would need to use it so soon. A friend, who had the same first and last name as I and whom I have known for 40 years, passed away last night. She was my mentor in art when we first met. She did oil painting, and her paintings were similar to Andrew Wyeth's works. I made my card into a sympathy card for her family.

    What a great idea! Usually you have 2 cards with this technik. And your idea to use the second butterfly is really inspiring!!!!
