I was inspired by how the mountains are reflecting in the lake. So I went ahead and tried the reflection stamping technique for the first time. I staped the image on acetate before pressing it onto the paper using the acetate as a stamp.
I had added masking tape before inking and stenciling the stars and was quite pleased with it, but as I was removing the tape a SMUDGE appeared. How come this only happens when I'm attempting to go one layer??? I had to rethink my design, I cut the panel and placed it onto a plaid DP. It didn't quite turn out as planned, but I tried to save what could be saved,..

Pia, your card is adorable. Your frog and the reflection is awesome. Love the blue. You are too critical of yourself.
Beautiful card and scene Pia..Loz
Love your quirky frog Prince great technique and card
Well you did an amazing job at this technique and great idea to use the reflection and your happy creative hiccup resolved in one fab card x
Well done on the reflection Pia - a lovely job!
Smudges. I hate them - how come they never appear when you're intending to mount them onto a base card - only on 1 layer ones! Anyway it looks great on the plaid background so smudge was not a disaster!
Darling card and great job on the reflection, like your interpretation of the photo!
Wow! Amazing reflection in the pound, and a very sweet design! The choice of the sentiment makes me smile :)
Great save Pia...beautiful card. xx
I love your frog prince! It’s a darling card and beautiful colors!hugs, de
Oh don't worry about it -the recipient doesn't need to know it was supposed to be one layer and we certainly won't tell! Your mirror stamping turned out very well and I love the frog stamp, he is super cute. The plaid paper works too! xxx
Pia, this looks beautiful itself. I can't see what went wrong over here. Maybe you managed to hide it very well. The mirror stamping has come out so well.
A beautiful card. A lovely design and a great job with the reflection in the lake.

A super card Pia, a great technique and I think the plaid paper is perfect even if it was not what you intended.

Love it Pia, don't worry I just did s one layer card upside down so have to cut back ie front upside down off so can mount it. I actually love the use of tartan though.
Thanks for being a blessing, and may God bless you too.

I like this adorable frog image with the little fellow wearing his crown! Your card design suits him so well.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Those 72 cards did not take all that long really. I did not use many images that needed colouring. Mostly just die cuts, decorative brads, preprinted images and 3D images. IT was also a great way to use up supplies that were years old.
The three pack cards were given away as door prizes at the event. The people attending were women from a very low income area in our town. Apparently they loved the cards and were able to pick which three pack they wanted.
Gorgeous card love the cute frog and the reflection never been brave enough to try that lol-love the plaid paper too

What a unique take on the photo Pia! Love the technique that accomplished the reflection, and I have even more appreciation for it(knowing the struggle)!
Beautiful card! Love the cute frog! Thank you for joining our Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers. x
