In this blog we will talk about mirror imaging. This is not a new technique but it's a fun one to use from time to time and gives you the best bang for your buck with your stamps.
I needed to create a card congratulating my cousin who is going to have twins in the Fall! One boy and one girl! I thought mirror imaging would be perfect for this using the Wildly Adorable Stamp Set.

Onto the cards...
Aren't they so cute!!!!!
I created a collage to show the steps of creating a mirror image:
And it's as easy as that! I wanted the babies to touch hands in the images where designed that way (the lion and bunny rabbit). The artists who created these babies made it perfect to mirror!
If you like paper piecing I also added that technique to give them patterned onesies! I used the 2020-2022 In Color 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Pack in Bumblebee, Misty Moonlight and Magenta Madness.
The Stamparatus and Silicone Mat are perfect for this technique. Be sure to ink the silicone mat version several times (4 or 5) to get a strong ink image when it's applied to the paper.
