Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects made using the ‘mirror technique’. I have used the cute Playing in the Rain stamp set to make this ‘turtle love’ anniversary card.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the turtle love card, you will need:
Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pecan Pie card – 4¾” by 3”
Basic White card – 4⅝” by 2⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Pecan Pie card – 2” by ¼”
Using the smaller daisy outline image, I stamped in the upper left and lower right corners of the Flirty Flamingo card front with Flirty Flamingo ink.

I inked up the sweet turtle image from the Playing in the Rain stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped on the left side of the smaller panel of Basic White card.

The same image was then mounted onto the Stamparatus Plate and stamped in the same ink onto the Silicon craft sheet. I repeated this step to make sure I had a good strong image.
I lifted the silicon sheet up, turned it face down and placed it onto the Basic White panel next to the previously stamped turtle. I rubbed it lightly and left it in position for a minute or two to allow the ink to transfer.

The turtles were then coloured using the following Blends Pens – Petal Pink, Smoky Slate, Pecan Pie and Pebbled Path.

I used Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight Blends to colour in the flower. The ground was coloured with Crumb Cake Blends Pens and the small grassy image was stamped in 1st & 2nd generation Granny Apple Green ink. A Blending Brush was used to add some Balmy Blue ink to the ‘sky’.

The decorated panel was added to the Pecan Pie panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was mounted onto the Flirty Flamingo card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Love For You stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Pecan Pie card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it before adding it to the card front.
