{Spotlight Project} Vicki Goes Reflective


I made a card here awhile back. I had more then one person ask me how I did it. Well, I am here to show you today how to make a reflective image. It's so easy you'll think, Duh!

Here is the finished card:


I used the newly released STAMPlorations set, Bold Sentiments: Hashtag Authentic. [I am loving this set for sure!]

Okay, to create the reflective look, here are the steps:


STEP 1
Stamp the sentiment in blue; stamp the "you are" also in black.


STEP 2
Flip the panel for close line up and stamp again, in gray.


STEP 3
Mask off the blue word, and sponge on light blue.


STEP 4
Using a self made stencil, sponge yellow and a darker yellow at the bottom for depth.



You now have a reflective card.


This is really fun when you use a city skyline [like the linked sample]. However, I really like the word usage too~

See you in a couple of weeks~
