For the Inspiration Challenge (IC76, we have Charish Pinterest Board. There is so much to see, I got lost for a while. I finally chose two...THIS & THIS. I liked the fall tree in the first, & the divided panels in the second.
I used this beautiful 2 part stamp set & some fall colors of Color Fuse inks to stamp the foliage part of the tree & black for the trunk. From the beginning, I knew I wanted to do a reflection scene, so I left plenty of room below the main image. It didn't start out to be a slimline card, but I quickly realized it would have to be to get the reflection part in. For the reflection, I inked the trunk part of the image really well, then rolled a rubber brayer over it. I positioned the brayer below the main image & rolled it away from the main image to create the reflection. For the foliage part, I used the inks & a paintbrush to fill it in then sponged in the colors of the ground & water.
A few white highlights were added on the water then I used the stitched slimline dies to cut the image into 3 panels & backed it w/ rust. The two leaves were stamped onto a separate piece I inked w/ more of the fall colors & die cut w/ the matching dies.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ closeups & product links: The Write Stuff

Julie, this is completely stunning! Your reflection is amazing and the idea of using the brayer is neat. I've used the stamp-a-ma-jig base for a reflection, but this looks better! I love the 3 panels and shading of the water!
