I am excited about this card. Maybe it's not vibrant or even super eye catching but it is my very first attempt at actually watercoloring. I wanted to make a mirror image since I am inspired by so many beautiful mirror images in the gallery. This one came out nicely. As I learn more about my own style and this technique or art I hope to be considered an artist *snicker*. TFL!

There have been a few ladies ask me how I did the mirror image on this elephant. I will put it here for you all.
I inked up the stamp and then stamped a mirror stamp that I made myself (pm me if you want to know how) Then I positioned the paper on top of the mirror stamp. I pressed down and rubbed over the paper with my fingers then held the paper in place with one hand while dragging it to the side with the other hand, so that it would make a smeared look. then I stamped the elephant with the regular stamp, in place above the blurred one. Then I watercolored the page.
I'm very humbled that so many ladies enjoy this card, as I did not think it was upload worthy. Thank you all so very much for your kindness!
