Today I want to share a simple stamping technique that adds versatility to your stamp sets and your projects. The technique is called reverse stamping or mirror image stamping. Below is a card I made using this technique. This card was also featured in my 13 January post.
I used the Darling Donkeys stamp set. It is featured in the Sale-a-bration (SAB) brochure, and is available for free with a $50 Stampin’ Up!®️ product order.
For this technique you will need a silicone craft sheet (item # 127853, page 162 Annual Catalog), a stamp, cardstock, and ink.
For the technique:
Ink the stamp.
Stamp the image on the silicone craft sheet.
Position the cardstock over the image, and rub over the area lightly with a towel or your hand.
Lift the cardstock up from the craft sheet. Clean the image from the craft sheet with a damp cloth.
Ink the stamp again and stamp the image as usual.
Add color and other details to the image, and use a a focal point for a card.
That’s all there is to it!
Supplies for this card: Darling Donkeys stamp set (SAB), Heal Your Heart stamp set (SAB), Just Jade card base, Stitched Rectangles dies, Flower and Field DSP (SAB), Basic White cardstock, various Stampin’ Blends, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Balmy Blue ink, and blending brushes.
