I really like this stamp (Feed Me AT-0160). I got it free with my first Fun Stampers Journey order when I was trying out the products before signing up as a coach. This cat has cattitude - and it's sometimes hard trying to come up with an appropriate card (and recipient!) to appreciate that. But I had this background sitting on my desk staring at me, and decided to try a reflection technique. I've seen other stampers do it, but this was my first try. I stamped the image on an acetate sheet, then pressed card stock onto the image. The lines didn't come out quite as clear as original stamped image, so I traced them a bit with a gray fine-tip marker, and...it worked!
The background is one I tried after watching this Gina K video about embossing over watercolor. Hers was amazing...mine less so! But I enjoy experimenting, and the cats take center stage anyway. Now I just have to figure out who this card is going to, and for what occasion...
