I know it's been done lots with Lovely as a Tree stamp set, and very lovely too, but I wanted to use something different, hence the zebra from Zoo Review stamp set. Poor zebra kept getting called giraffe in class. Once we got giraffe in our heads that was it. Hey ho, it was fun anyway.
I'm sure many of you will have seen this technique done before. First I stamped the zebra on Whisper White card with Chocolate Chip ink. I re-inked and then stamped the image on a piece of acetate, or similar material. You need to use a water based ink as it will stau wet enabling you to transfer the image on to your card. After stamping on the acetate, I flipped the acetate over and lined up the image directly beneath the zebra on the card. I carefully rubbed over the acetate to transfer the impression on to my card to create the reflection. It will come out lighter and that's what you want.
I used my aqua painter to paint the water with Marina Mist ink, the sky with Soft Sky and green area with Pear Pizzazz. I added a few horizontal streaks to the water with my white chalk marker.
You may have noticed the zebra kinda stands out on the card. I achieved that by lightly outlining the image with my Sahara Sand marker.
The tree is from Serene Shilouettes stamp set. I inked it with Pear Pizzaz and then used my Chocolate Chip marker to colour the tree trunk and branches before stamping. The greeting and little banner are from Perfect Pennants stamp set, on page 27 of the spring/summer catalogue.
