Have looked in resources and techniques and didn't see anything. Could some
one please let me know where to look. Have seen several beautiful cards in the gallery.
Stamp your image where you need it. Stamp the same image on a piece of vellum. Once ink is dry on vellum, turn it over and upside down. Line up the bottoms of the two images. Voila! Mirror image.
You will, of course, need to trim your vellum to the approoriate size for your application,

Not sure if this is what you're talking about, but they make stamps that help you stamp a reverse image... You stamp your image on the blank rubber stamp, huff on it, and then stamp your paper with the "reverse image stamp."
I recently tried the reverse image stamp techniques both ways, with vellum and with rubber. With the vellum version you simply stamp the image on vellum, color as you would normally, trim, and adhere. However, I prefer using the blank rubber method. I just used a bit leftover from one of my unity kits. The best thing about this is that you can reuse the same piece of rubber over and over for different images! Thanks for the info!

There is actually a tutorial in resources - it uses acetate rather than vellum or rubber. I found the acetate worked slightly better than vellum. But I've never managed it so that I didn't know which was the mirror image and which was the original, which is my dream . Splitcoaststampers - Reflection Technique Tutorial by Beate Johns
That's why I like the rubber/huff technique. It showed up a shade lighter and I went over the lines with a microliner pen since it's an outline stamp. Thanks for the link! Beate is a genius

I think it may be Rubber Stampede who make the actual stamps. I've never had enough left-over rubber to try, but some time I'd like to have a go with fun foam and see how that works. For me it works OK if you want it to look like a reflection, but if a layout calls for a reversed image that looks as crisp as the original, that's what I find hard to achieve.
