I bought this tree stamp....twice. I guess I need to get a little more organized. Good thing for my sister though. I sent her the extra one. Anyway, I wanted to try the reflection or mirror technique. So here is how it went.....
I cut out an oval in white cs, rocked 'n rolled my tree stamp in basic brown and pumpkin pie. Stamped it on the oval cs and then on a mirror stamp, which I then took and stamped below the first stamping to get the reflection. Whew! I sponged the edges of the oval with distress ink, chalked the sky, grass and water and set it aside.
Took a scrap oval of the same size and put it in the middle of my card, bunched up a piece of plastic wrap and pounced it on my ink pad and then on the card. I did this with a couple of different colors. To finish I glued the oval with the trees on the card, cut and place a piece of acetate on front and put brads in the corners. There you have it. TFL! :0)
