A group I belong to on SCS called Stamp Addicts decided to start doing a technique challenge among ourselves to try to learn some new things. Darlene got it all coordinated and our fist challenge is the Reflection technique. You can find directions on how to do this in the Resources at SCS.
Anyway, I read through the tutorial, then read it again - and again.....Ok, I can do that! But then when I started putting the stamp to the paper it was a totally different story! This was the end result.....and I really wasn't going to put that sentiment there, but, it's covering up this wonderful smudge!!! After stamping this baby about 15 times to try to get it right, I sure wasn't going to worry about a little smudge!
I keep thinking of it as a work of art - you know, the further you get back from it the better it looks!!! So scoot back from your computer screen and you'll see what I mean.........looks pretty awesome now, doesn't it! LOL!
Thanks for stopping by...........

Lynn, your post is so funny! Your card is beautiful - good job with the technique - exactly how it is supposed to look! It is a work of art - you signed it, right?
ReplyDeleteLynn, I think it's incredible! I'm going to have to go find that tutorial. If I manage anything nearly as successful as yours, MAYBE I'll post it on my blog. :-D
ReplyDeleteThis is yet ANOTHER technique I haven't tried. I have my list by my computer of challenges to do - so I will add this!!
ReplyDeleteSentiments are great for smudges!!! LOL I've been known to cover mine via sentiments or ribbon :)
I would guess a stamp-a-ma-jig would be a perfect tool for this technique for aligning the stamp too!
Love it Lynn! Great job!
Maria :)
I think its brilliant Lynn, great idea to stick the sentiment over a smudge, I must try this.

I love your card- close to the computer or the voew from across the room- love the grass at the water line and love the sentiment....... Great challenge- looking forward to #2!!!
ReplyDeleteActually, Lynn it's looks pretty good up close. I've tried the reflection technique and it wasn't easy to get it to look good. Maybe it's one of those things you have to do a lot to get the hang of it.
ReplyDeleteWOW Lynn this is awesome. Love how you have reflected the tree.

Wow Lynn... your card is absolutely fabulous! What a wonderful technique that is. You've rocked this one girl! Well done! Sharon
ReplyDeleteWow!!! You nailed this dead-on!! I totally love how the reflection is a little faded, because that's exactly how reflections are IRL. I LOVE THIS CARD!! The grass is super pretty and matches the style of the whole card.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I can't even count how many times an extra little something has covered up one of my boo-boos. I'm telling you, this card rocks!
I think this technique is difficult and you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteLynn, It looks good to me close or far. I love that technique, but I only do it about once a year because I'm not good at it. Love how you covered your smudge. Have a great night.
ReplyDeleteYou are so silly, I think it looks great! Love the water reflection you've created. Maybe you need glasses???
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job, just love this with grass and water with the reflection. Smudge what smudge :)
ReplyDeleteLynn that reflection is really so very cool. A very serene card you made, love it :)
ReplyDeleteI think it looks beautiful! This is a technique I have had on my to do list forever and after seeing this beauty, I'm going to have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteWhat an AWESOME CARD!!! And so clever to hide that smudge. Very elegant card, Lynn.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Monica
You did a great job with the technique, Lynn...your shadow looks fabulous!!!!
ReplyDeleteLynn, this is beautiful! I've always intended to try this technique, but haven't gotten around to it! You pulled it off quite well! So you put things in odd places on cards to cover up smudges too?! And here I thought I was the only one...LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteIncredible job! I like where you placed the sentiment. You've definitely inspired me to try this sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteWow Lynn this is beautiful! I think you did a great job! I have never tried this technique yet I need to.

Ah Lynn, I love your sense of humor! Your reflection is lovely and the scene is actually really relaxing! Hugs, Karen
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny! I think I'm going to start telling people this! It's not a smudge, I'm an Impressionist!
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, this is incredibly artistic and beautiful! I love the grass and your water effect is great too! Wonderful job with this technique!
Gorgeous! I love the beautiful reflection.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job. I've never tried this technique. Awesome card
