Looking for directions to do card with a mirror or reflection image and haven't run across it. Need some help

Ok I hope I can explain this right...jump in anyone if I miss something.


stamp your image onto your cardstock or whatever your stamping.

Then take a piece of vellium,stazon ink and stamp the image onto your vellium and after it dries turn your vellium over and match it up mirror image to your first stamped image.

for Example...if your where stamping an image of somebody skateing you would stamp the first image about midway on your CS and then stamp the second image onto your vellium flip it over so its upsidedown and glue it so that the blades of the skates from the first image meet the blades of the second image. this way it looks like there is an image of the person skateing on the ice.

just remember that your image(reflection) will always be a bit fuzzy,or faded) not as clear and sharp as the originonal image...*S*


Wow I hope I explained this ok...i am a more of a show and teach type person...LOL..if this has really messed you up PM me and i will take pics to show you what I mean..*S*

I also heard if you stamp on wax paper, flip it over and then press on your cardstock. Have not tried it but have heard it worked.

You can also stamp on acetate, flip it over, and rub where you want it for the mirror image. I too have not tried this but its on my list of things to do SOON. I love these images but just haven't played with this technique. I'm going to try the acetate/wax paper rub and then the vellum too to see which one I like best (or which one I get to work best for me!)

I just use my blank from the stampamajig. Stamp the first image than stamp your "mirror" on the blank turn it over and upside down line up and rub. The image transfers off of the blank beautifully. HTH
