This one is actually pretty quick and easy. Stamp your main image. Stamp again on acetate, flip over to mirror the image and rub the acetate image onto your cardstock. I actually did this twice to make it a little darker. Then sponge on a horizon, reflection in a lake, what have you...Back in my archives, I have another sample of the reflection technique.
This is a page from the scrapbook calendar I made for my mom a couple Christmases ago. Here I had made a lake by sponging on blue ink and then spreading Crystal Effects on it to make the water glossy.I am stepping a little out of my comfort zone by joining the recipe swap.
I chose one of my favorite weird recipes, "most unusual and delicious" Pretzel Salad. I then chose images and patterned paper to match the recipe. The strawberry image was stamped. I tried clear embossing powder and crystal effects, but the image wasn't as crisp, so I left it alone. The pretzel is a digi stamp from Busy Beauties Boutique. Since I have an ink jet printer, I can't easily watercolor the image. I have heard you can heat set the ink, but that didn't really work for me. So I used oil crayons and baby oil (or gamasol) to blend and color the pretzel.
I also added dimension by taking a toothpick and adding White Frost Shimmer Paint for the salt.Stamps: Tart & Tangy, Like Beer & Pretzels by Busy Beauties Boutique; Paper: Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Summer Picnic DSP; Ink: Real Red, Old Olive markers, Versamark; Accessories: Oil crayons, Baby oil, Toothpick, Frost White Shimmer Paint, Clear embossing powder, Circle punches, Scallop circle punch.
