This week, we're wanting you to turn your negative pieces in the positive artwork! Our "Theory of Negativity" (very scientific ☺) is defined as using the negative space from diecuts or punches. Take the remnants from your 'empty' shapes and add them to your creations or use the pieces as stencils for a new project! Each project needs to have an empty piece shown on the project or a picture of how you used the negative space. The winner will receive four of our new 'Say It Loud' stamps!

Here are the challenge rules ...

✻ Please make a new card or creation. You can make any crafty item you wish; this is not limited to cards!

✻ Limit two submissions per person. You will receive extra votes if you use Art Impressions stamps!

✻ Include a link back to the Ai Blog or grab our button on the top right of our sidebar!

✻ Share the Ai love by clicking and commenting your fellow crafters.

✻ Make sure to get your link up by Wednesday, May 15 at 5:00 p.m. PST to enter your creations.

✻ Good luck and happy stamping!

This week, Kerry is sharing a great project with us ...

Kerry: "Hello hello, I'm super excited to be hosting this week's challenge, 'Theory of Negativity'!  

I decided to create a fun background using the negative space of these adorable flower die cuts.  I cut out three different sizes.  And then I randomly inked the flowers with the desired colors in white card stock.  

I used the new 2013 Girlfriends Beauty in Progress Set (SKU #4240).

I stamped the image three separate times and popped each layer with foam dots. (1st layer - whole image, 2nd layer - the Girlfriends without the beauty chairs, and last layer - the foot bath and hairdryer). I colored the girls with Copic markers and a few finishing touches such as glossy accent and stickler. Viola!

And here is the close up."
