Rooted in Nature TGIFC161 - Reflection Technique

May 25, 2018

Happy Friday! Time for a TGIF Challenge. This week we are challenging you to create a card using a reflection. I've never played around with this technique. Ahem, I was a bit intimidated and unsure where to start but after some YouTube video research I was ready to play!

TGIFC161.jpg

I used the tall tree from the Rooted in Nature stamp set as my primary image. I heat embossed this image with gold emboss powder. The reflection was created by stamping the same image on a silicon craft sheet and then flipping the sheet over to transfer the image unsaid down.  I wet the paper first so the transfer would appear a little soft and then ran my Aqua Painter over the top a few times to create the water reflection.

Check out what the TGIF Challenge team has created using this technique. Wanna try? I can't wait to see your take on reflections. Have fun!

This blue and purple winter card uses tidbits from the Calm & Bright kit. I used the negative shape from the fir die cut to create a stencil and layered from there. Blend, stencil, stamp. Colors are Highlander Heather, Cloud Cover, & Lost Lagoon. @global_design_project #gdp525 #stampinup #calmandbright
Masking and stamping! On this card I mask with tape, blend ink, then stamp, then stencil, and stamp again to create a layered scene. It’s so satisfying to remove the masking tape… always a fun reveal.
