Negative die cut

For a long time I have been admiring card made with the negative space die cutting technique, especially when letters and numbers are involved. After seeing this card by Els, I knew that I had to do something with this technique soon. This week I needed three cards and I found some really nice Alphabet and Numbers die sets from Lawn Fawn. Perfect for a card for a colleague who gave birth to a son. And for two couples who celebrated their 50th and 60th wedding anniversary. I kept the cards CAS and used only a small heart stamp and a sentiment besides the dies. As background a gingham pattern. For the first two I used foam tape to pop up the white part. For the third I just glued it onto the gingham background, but it actually lost the effect of the first two. So, no glue next time, just foam tape.

Thanks for hopping by!
