Stamping with reflections techniques

So here is the third technique Tim Holtz taught tonight. The only one I could do tonight because I can finds glossy card stock !?!? This involved stamping on embossing folders and getting reverse images and then framing another stamp within the embossing folder! I cut a slit in the top of the folder for the tag. I am very happy with the end result. I'd love some feedback. Thanks

    1. This is the Fancy Floral Frames, A Texture Fade Tim Holtz Alterations Sizzix Embossing Folder. I am really enjoying the class, it has been very eye opening and I have had at least two ahaa moments and it only day three. I would highly recommend it for 35 dollars you can't beat it!!!!

  5. Great job on the tag. I have just ordered the reflection stamps, will probably take about 2 wks to get to me so I'll have to improvise too.

    1. I wish I had Tim's Stash so I didn't have to improvise but we all can't be Craft God's.

  6. I LOVE how you did this technique with those colors it makes the images stand out. I'm totally having to improvise with my arsenal as well. So it is great to see variations. HUGS
