Reverse stamping?

[wcowell]

Can someone tell me how to do reverse image stamping (I think that is what it is called)? I have the happy camper set and I want to make two bears facing each other and I don't know how. Thanks so much, this is my first time to post.

I have done this with this exact same set. It turns out great!!! You will need the Craft ink if you want it in color, or you can use VersaMark if you want to emboss. There have been several posts about what is the best "paper" to use, but I like to use the celophane from the bags that SU! sells in the back of the catalog. Ink your bear image, then stamp it onto the celophane. This now becomes your stamp. With the celophane bag being clear, you can see to be able to position the bears nose to nose. Gently place the bag onto your paper and rub to transfer the ink. I have not tried this with the classic ink because I don't think it will stay wet enough to get a good image. You could try it though. I did my bears with VersaMark and embossed with white embossing powder to make them polar bears. It turned out cute. Sorry, I don't have a gallery here on SCS...I am mostly a looker (and a sponge)!!! HTH!

What a cool idea to make them polar bears---hadn't thought of that! My in-laws are big campers and I want to make them some cards to give to their camping friends and that would be great for Christmas and Winter cards.
