Since my father had a medical emergency and had to have his leg removed he has been receiving wonderful cards from all around the world from wonderful people that don't even know him! It has shown me the power of feeling loved and remembered by others when we are going through a hard time.
So lately I have been creating with specific people in mind and today I created a card for Shelly Wadge who has had a BIG change in her life. Shelly is in our demonstrator training program and I was so proud of her for doing her introduction on the group and sharing what is happening in her life right now. Life is not easy these days!!
I wanted to make her a special card to let her know we are thinking of her and give her some love and strength to keep going with her challenging new circumstances she is in.
With Shelly's card today I wanted to show how to do the reverse stamp technique that is SO EASY once you have given it a try with the Stampin' Up!® Silicone sheet. I can't get over how easy it is in fact.
It is surprisingly easy to create a reverse image especially with our Stampin' Up!® Silicone Craft Sheet. You just stamp on the silicone Sheet and then get your cardstock and add that onto the stamped image! It may not be perfectly stamped you could even add a little spritz of water to "reactivate" the ink or huff on it with your hot breath.
Then BOOM - you have a reversed image!! How exciting. I knew in this card I wanted to add another image - but if it was the same direction again it just wouldn't have looked right. Doing the reverse image was a perfect way to create something a little different for the eye.
In the background I have used the awesome Birch Background stamp set. The image at the front is the Inspiring Iris stamp set that you may have missed - it has gorgeous flowers and sentiments in that set that are must have's to add to your collection.
If you have my card templates here are the measurements -
Card Base (Gorgeous Grape) - Gorgeous Grape
First Layer (Whisper White) - Poppy Parade
Second Layer (Highland Heather) - Melon Mambo
Third Layer (Gorgeous Grape) - Petal Pink
Fourth layer (Whisper White) - Mint Macaron
Inside Layer (Whisper White) - Poppy Parade
I used Granny Apple Green and Gorgeous Grape on the flowers.
