You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Beate suggested this technique, and here is how she does it:
"I usually stamp my image on cardstock. Reink and stamp it again on a piece of acetate. Turn it around, place it where you want it to be and then rub over it to transfer the ink."
You can also use wax paper instead of acetate. Thanks Terry/terrore3 for that tip!
You can also use your rubber brayer....ink the stamp and run the brayer over it to transfer the image to the brayer; roll the brayer over the paper to get the reverse image. Use a stamp positioner and stamp the image in the proper position.
You can also use vellum....simply stamp on the vellum; after it dries, flip it over and stamp again.
look forward to seeing all your creations!
As always, I am in search of suggestions for techniques for future TLCs! Please PM with suggestions and a link to the directions and/or a sample if you can. Thanks!
As always, if you have questions, please ask. If you have suggestions, please share!
When you upload, please put TLC89 in the keyword section when you upload, and then post a link to your card here in this thread. If you need help uploading, click on this link for helpful information: //www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...hlight=gallery
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us STAMPIN' !!

Interesting...I think I'll try to pick my brain and see what I come up with. If my imagination serves me correctly, I have seen in my LSS a large blank rubber stamp that was created to make mirror images. At least I think that's what it was for...

Yup, I have a big blank rubber stamp just for that. It is actually called a Reversing Stamp (has the directions right on it on how to use it and reverse your images). Might just have to pull it out and use it today! ;)
Cooooooooooolll! I always wondered how to get such a great reversed image. Never thought to use acetate. I will definitely have to try this. And maybe I can get my little sis to join in today! Thanks, Beth.
This technique, for whatever reason, scares me to pieces :shock: !! Everyone else's always turn out so beautifully but I'm sure mine will look...not so good. But this week,finally, I'm gonna try it!
Just like many others, I have never tried this before either!! I've seen lots in the gallery and have always ooooed and awwwwed over them.... especially the trees!! I am going to try to find time to do this one... maybe not today but at some point!! Thanks!!
Oh....sweet. I have time to take part in a challenge...and it's my suggestion. I better come up with something good. Hmm....Just got new stamps. Which set can I use. Must use new stamps!!!!!!!
I have never had the nerve to try this, but I'm going to give it a shot. Love the cards I've seen made this way. Thanks for the challenge.

QUESTION: If you stamp on vellum card stock and flip it, how do you hide the edge of the vellum. For example, the tree one one by MCooper, I can't see a line where the vellum stops and the card stock starts. Is the vellum over the entire card?? Wont the vullem cover the original trees then?? Huh?
P.S. Silvia, if you're still here, HELLO!! long time no stalk!!

can someone with experience with vellum and this technique answer this one? I think what happens is there is vellum on the whole card.... you stamp the trees on one side of the vellum, and then flip it over and stamp the other side.

OK - here's my card. I pulled out my reverse image stamp from Rubber Stampede that I bought over 10 year ago....this may be the first time I've actually used it! I don't like how it muddied the image, but I supposed that is to be expected.
mmmmk! I am done..lol. I don't think this is a good technique for me. I'm visually challenged and could not, for the life of me, remember what a water reflection looks like (though the samples were all gorgeous). I need a trip to the beach!!
