I have just completed a bible study with a few of my girl friends. And one of the things we learned is that we are not perfect on our own and should not hold ourselves to such high expectations...like having a clean house all the time, or being a supermom, or having the perfect hair or weight or what eva!! Trying to be perfect or thinking that other women "have it all together"...is just a way to stress ourselves out! Perfection is only achieved from within as we focus more on who God wants us to be.
So this card was inspired by the above thoughts. It's a card using the reflection or mirror image technique. I also love the word stamp from this stamp set...it says, "Joy is not in things, it is in us". I made the card for my friend Dana, who hosted the bible study...thanks Dana.
Instructions for Reflection:
*Stamp image on cardstock
*Then stamp the same image on a piece of scrap wax paper or acetate
*Ink side down, place wax paper or acetate where you want your image to "reflect" on your cardstock where the first image is stamped.
*Then roll over image with a brayer to transfer it to your cardstock
*You now have a reflection of the first image you stamped on the cardstock
Coloring: For this card I used my watercolor crayons by Stampin Up and my aqua brush
Tutorial: Reflection

Hollie, I've never heard of doing this technique with waxed paper before! This is just great!! I'm off to try it.
