This was something I thought would be difficult but was very easy! I stamped the image on cardstock in SU! Classic Black. Then I stamped the image on Vellum paper. Once dried I flipped the image so it would mirror the cardstock image. The background I used chalks and a pattern paper.

THE TECHNIQUE!
I didn't really describe this very well so I redid this so it was fresh in my mind!
Stamp your cardstock almost half way down (2 3/4"-ish) with the tree image.
Stamp the vellum in the same way. (I just used SU! Classic Black). Wait for it to dry!!
Turn the cardstock upside down so the image is upside down (is that too obvious?? ).
Flip the vellum (once ink is dry!) so it reflects the inverted image. I hope that clears it up! Before you adhere the vellum, color the cardstock-bottom for water and sky reflection, top, sky.
Makes sense I hope!!

This sure is fun! The background looks like the aurora borealis too!

This is so cool! But I still don't get the vellum - how big is the vellum piece? Is it just half the length of the card? I don't see an edge to the vellum - how is it adhered to the CS so you don't see any adhesive showing through? Thanks for answering all these questions!
