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!

One color wonder - I stamped the little birdie image on coldpress watercolor paper in Golden Glow ink and then pulled that color through the images with a water brush. I love easy technique to quickly add color. Bird image & sentiment are from the Cutest Crew stamp set. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #cutestcrew

Golden Glow. I'm going to try to create a series of one color cards using the new Stampin' Up! InColors. Today I'm showcasing Golden Glow. This new color is a soft warm light gold. It is a calming color and I think it is very a nice addition to the yellows. Those cute bird images are from the 'Cutest Crew' stamp set. Need a reason to make? We have a animal theme @global.design.project #gdp551 Play along with us this week! Looking for more inspiration on this Monday? My Monday Montage friends are sharing a bunch of fun new ideas.

Punches for the win. I needed a graduation card so I used two punches from Stampin’ Up! To create the graduation cap. The cap tassle is created using baker’s twine. Modern Oval & Tailored Tag punch. #useyourstash #graduationcard #cardmakingreels
It's been weeks since I created a card and it felt good to sit down and make something. It's graduation season and cards are needed!  I pulled together a few punches and the Bordered in Beauty bundle to create. This card works for two challenges this

I pulled together a few punches and the Bordered in Beauty bundle to create. This card works for two challenges this week. I'm playing along with @tgifchallenges color challenge using Night of Navy, Granny Apple Green and Smopky Slate. The card layout was inspired by the challenge sketch for @global_design_project #gdp550 #stampinup #cardmaking #graduationcard
