This is for CCC11 - April. I actually made 9 of these a few weeks ago but neglected to take pictures until today.
I used the acetate method for making a mirror image. This is the first time I tried that. It was tough with the wheel because it slipped a little and sometimes I had to roll it a number of times to get a clean image on the acetate. But I eventually got 9 mirror images. I used markers to color the normal images, and colored pencils for a more muted effect in the "ice". Finished by layering the snowmen on brocade blue, and using the matching "snow" image from Itty Bitty Backgrounds and a peace on earth sentiment from Stamps by Judith.
Other than the problem getting a clean image on the acetate, these came together really fast.

Nine mirror images - I admire your patience and perseverance. I certainly think it was well worth it for the result you got, but I think I'd have called a halt after one or two , me and mirror images don't get on so well. Mind you, I've never tried them for reflections - that would allow a little margin for *difficulties*.
