Well, for a first shot, I am pretty happy with this one. I have never done the reflections technique before.
(it can be found here: Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers )
On the reflective image I began with a going grey base and then sponged the colors on with a sponge, I thought this would give it a more muted effect. On the top image I directly put the markers to the stamp. I used the stipple brush on the whole image with Encore gold to give it a shimmer. It looks a bit spotty on the scan but not as noticable in real life.
Now the twill tape, I have all types of printed twill that I have NEVER used but always pick up because "i love it". So I was very happy with this challenge so I finally had a reason to use it!!
This card measures 5X5.
