Wishing you sunshine

Hi there! Happy Sunday everyone. Chris here with a special  frog card to share with you. 





 I wanted to try this "water-reflection-technique" for a long time, and today the time has come.




  • first I stamped the images on Bristol Paper
  • for the second frog (in the water) I used the "mirror stamping technique" -  for this technique you must stamp the image first on a "mirror stamping tool" or an acetate/vellum and then transfer on paper -  the mirror stamping don´t have to be perfect because it´s  just a "reflection"
  • then masked only the upper frog
  • the Background blended with Distress Oxides Inks (squeezed lemonade, tumbled glass, broken china) and a raindrop stencil 
  • colored the images (with Watercolor Pens) 
  • cut out a circle for the upper panel, draw some stiched lines with a pen and glued down  the panel with 3d Foam tape.





The frog in the water don´t have to be stamped perfect - because it´s just a reflection. Mirror stamping gives you a lot of options - not only with water reflections. Maybe you give it a try. I definitely will try it again.
