Hello JH Stamping Studio crafters!
My card club group wanted to learn the mirror image technique, so we made several cards to showcase different ways to use this technique. This technique is relatively new to me as well. I'll be sharing these cards over the next week(s).
First and foremost, to be successful with this technique you need a Stamparatus - this allows you to set up the stamp onto the plate and note have to move it so it is in the same, but reflecting spot of the original image. Additionally, a Silicone craft mat is needed to stamp the same image onto the craft mat which allows the ink image to transfer to your paper in the opposite direction.
This card is my favorite card of the 3 we made! It also incorporates blending to create the water and sun horizon. The Simply Marbelous paper works perfect to create a watery background.

- Tip: I used a stamp from the Oceanfront set, stamped off and rolled it onto the blended ink to create a wave look
- Sun horizon: So Saffron, Mango Melody and Melon Mambo - now put the post it notes over the water blending.
- Tip: Lightly tape circle where you want your sun to be and blend around it. Start with light to dark and lightly add melon mambo on sides as last blending. Remove sun circle and lightly blend so saffron so it is nto so white.
