TLC439 Reflective Stamping

Hello everyone....Hope you have had a great weekend!!! My grandson, Cole, has been visiting with us for the past week and believe me, there is never a dull moment when he is around!!! He is hung up on playing double solitaire so we have had some marathon games...LOL!!!  Anyway...it's my turn to host the Technique Lover's Challenge on Splitcoast this week and I have an old technique for some of you but it's new to me....reflective stamping!! 


Here are the deets:

1. Gather supplies....card stock, inks, stamps, and a piece of acetate
2. Stamp your image on the card stock
3. Ink up your stamp again and this time stamp it on the piece of acetate
4. Flip your piece of acetate over so your stamped image is facing down. Line it up with your first image to create your reflection. Place acetate on card stock. 
5. Rub over your acetate. It will transfer the image from the acetate to your card stock.
6. If you use an image stamp you can finish it by doodling or drawing  a line between your stamped image  and the reflection to ground it.

7. If you use this technique for word stamps, you can use a lighter color or a different color altogether for the reflection. You can add the ground line or not for word stamps...what ever strikes your fancy!!!I found an excellent tutorial on Splitcoast by Beate...she shows you step by step how to do this fun technique!! 

My card features stamps from Taylored Expressions Happily Ever After set.  The Love stamp was stamped with Coastal Cabana and the reflection was stamped with Pool Party. The leaves were stamped with Pistachio Pudding, cutout, and adhered under the flower. The sentiment is from the same set and the sequins and twine finish it off. 

Thanks for stopping by today....I hope you find the time to play along with us in this weeks TLC challenge!!!
