Last week I went off to the Stitches and Craft Show in Melbourne with a friend and my 2 sisters. It was at a new venue and was run by new management - and I must admit to being very disappointed!! Never mind - more money to spend on the new catalogue!!!
One thing I did get was a "reverse image" stamp - where you can stamp an image onto the rubber and then re-stamp it as a mirror image onto cardstock - hope that makes sense?!?!?! I came home and grabbed a scrap of Very Vanilla with a torn edge and stamped the large fish from Fishy Friends on in reverse and as normal. I also stamped the hearts from the new Greetings Eight set. I put it away for a few days thinking it was "just a bit of fun" and a scrap to throw away sometime. I found it again today and decided to see what it would look like coloured up. One thing led to another and here's the end result - not too shabby for a scrap I was going to pop in the paper bin!!! Just remember - scraps CAN be useful - LOL...

I wish my scarp card were like this fantastic - as mine do end up in the bin! Reserve image stamp? I have not heard of this but I do not go to craft and scrapbooking shop as I spend to much money.
I love how this card turned out Debbie! Thanks for the inspiration to use up scraps. We can all use that!
Great card! Love the reversed image!!

Excellent card Debbie... I might have to investigate this reverse image stamp!!
What a cute card - so glad the image did not end up in the bin :-)
Okay, now don't start getting me feeling guilty about all the scraps I throw away! They are overtaking me! LOL
This is such a cute card! I love the mirror image trick. I have not tried that and need to do so! That Fishy Friends set is perfect for this. I love the way you colored the scales on the fish.

To fun Debbie! I LOVE the cute fishy's and using your new technique to get a reversed image. I've seen this done with birds facing each other and then have a saying "LOVE BIRDS" attached. I use my scraps of DP and CS often... as you can see from my last post!! (My bright card!) Hugs.... :)
Well for a scrap, I wouldn't have believed it if you hadn't said. What a fabulous card. Glad you made use of your reverse image stamp. It's a wonderful tool and so worth it. Sorry you were disappointed with the show.
