Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - Mirroring Technique

Saturday 1 July 2023

Today I'm hopping with my friends in the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop sharing projects that feature the "Mirroring" Technique. I don't play with this technique very much, but I love how this project turned out! Will definitely have to use it more often!

The great part about mirroring is that you can "flip" your image in the opposite direct with the help of a Silicone Mat! One of the many uses for a Silicone Mat! I used the Playing in the Rain Stamp Set from the Annual Catalogue to stamp two turtles facing each other - almost like they are toasting with their flowers ;)

Fold and burnish on scoreline using Bone Folder to form card base.
