...I reached for a stamp thatÂ’s a few years old and paired it with a technique thatÂ’s been around in the stamping world for at least ten years, probably longer. Stamping mirror images is so easy with just a piece of clear acetate. I save larger panels of acetate from supplies that have arrived encased in it, for a whole range of uses.
The image panel is glossy white. My first step was to mask the moon and itÂ’s image below. Using a 1-1/4″ circle punch and temporary adhesive on the back of each circle, line the moon and itÂ’s reflection up on the vertical axis and make certain the edges are firmly adhered. Using a finger dauber, I applied the light blue around the mask of the moon and irregularly through the rest of the sky. I repeated the same daubing on the reflected sky. You wonÂ’t need to be exact in adding this color in the reflection. Once thatÂ’s done, remove the two masks. The next step is to stamp the top image of the trees. Then I stamped the same image onto the acetate, flipped the acetate over so the ink is facing the panel and about one inch below the top image (and being careful to line it up with the top trees), press the acetate down to transfer the ink. If youÂ’re working slowly and the ink has dried, just huff onto it to reactivate the ink with the moisture of your breath Â…

Wow! What a stunning winter scene you have created here. The mirror imaging of these trees with the soft colors you have used is truly gorgeous! ~Karen.
