I tried another Heather T tutorial and I must say I have such a respect for her. Her fabulous card can be found here. What she can do in 15 minutes takes me 2 days. After a series of experiments and senior moments I finally finished. I didn't have the die for the shadow. I have since learned that masking and reflection techniques do not go hand in hand. In order to do it, I masked the upper portion of the card and stamped the reflection in full black. I then scanned it and lightened it. I printed on a full sheet of paper. I stamped the image on a piece of acetate and lined up the top portion of the image. With the acetate in place I masked the lower portion, positioned the stamp positioner and slid out the acetate. It finally worked two days later.
Thanks for looking.
