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!

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.

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.

Sending Joy! I created this wintry scene using the Calm and Bright card kit. I love the look of white on white. I pulled in some gold embossing and Crumb Cake to balance out all that white. This CAS kit has tons of cute and tiny elements (yippee for tiny stamps) that are perfect for creating an adorable little holiday scene. 166461 Card created for @global_design_project BRRR theme. #gdp523 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingreels #madewithmine
