A Place To Start November 2020 Challenge: Mirror Stamping

Hello, Crafty Makers!

The Team at A Place To Start has another fun technique challenge for you this month.

MIRROR STAMPING

This is one of my favorite techniques.  You can use clear stamps or cling stamps and get a wonderful result.  You do not need a stamping platform (but having one makes it easier.)  This stamping technique lends itself to any genre and any creative POV!  

I wanted to use foil on my wonky stitched die to frame my mirror images.  I probably should have let the sandwich heat up a bit more before running through my Big Shot because there are a few stitches that did not get enough foiling!  But still, I like the effect.

I also die cut a small chipboard heart and foiled it with holographic foil.  The chipboard peeking through is just perfect.  I used oil pencils to color the images.  I wasn't going for fancy, I just wanted a little color.

Thanks for the visit!  I hope to see your projects in the challenge

Stuff I Used
Note:  I used the Paper Smooches Mirror Stamp Block.  They are out of stock and difficult to come by, so I have recommended an alternative.
