I was sure that I had found the technique on Splitcoast Stampers but I can't seem to find it now. Can anyone help? Some mention using acetate but in this case I stamped the rubber stamp with black ink, carefully rolled my brayer over the stamp, and then reverse rolled the brayer onto my oversized card stock. You may want to experiment but I found that it worked better to roll the brayer on scrap paper once to lighten the ink and then roll onto the actual card stock. By doing this you get the lighter reflection, I think. I then re-inked my rubber stamp, lined it up with the reflection, and trimmed the over sized card stock accordingly. The colors were achieved with pastel chalks. I hope this helps.
