SU109 Reflection Technique

REFLECTION OR MIRROR IMAGE TECHNIQUE:

Ink an image and stamp onto card stock.

Ink the same image and stamp onto wax paper.

Turn the wax paper over and line up to create a mirror image.  Rub with your fingers over the wax paper to transfer the image. Use light pressure for a lighter or watery image, more pressure for a crisper image.

Color the reflection a lighter color and tone than the main image for images reflected on water or ice.

Picture instructions can be found HERE on Splitcoasters. Her demo is done with acetate. I use wax paper instead.

Cardstock - Tempting Turquoise, White, Elegant Eggplant.

Stamp Set - Festive Favorites.

Ink - Elegant Eggplant.

Accessories - Wax paper, Brayer, White pen, Cuttlebug, Snowflake Folder, Pencil crayon, Chalk.

Added some Faux Stitching.

Inspired from a card by Rascal.

SU027, SU028, Wax Paper Resist

Wax Paper Resist - Take a piece of Wax Paper slightly larger than your glossy cardstock. Crumle it up and then smooth it back out. Criumle it up again and smooth it out again. The more times you do this, the finer the resist will be. Usually a couple of crumples is good tho.

Sandwich your wax paper between two pieces of Glossy Cardstock, with the glossy sides facing the wax paper, both top and bottom. Using two pieces of cardstock yields two backgrounds in one step. If you're going to drag out the iron, you might as well make a few sheets of this at a time.

Iron over your paper "sandwich" with a fairly hot iron without steam.

Take pieces apart and throw wax paper away. If you want to make two more sheets, repeat as above with a new sheet of wax paper.Brayer over your glossy cardstock with Dye Ink. Cover the entire piece of cardstock.

Wipe over your cardstock with a paper towel. The ink will resist where the wax from the wax paper stuck to the glossy cardstock.
