Lovely as a Tree

[Edie32]

Is this set retired or is it still available from SU?
How much did it sell for new?

Thanks.

Hope this helps

You can find it on page 139 of the 2004-2005 catalog. I think this is a must have especially if you have seen the beautiful cards in the gallery. I have it, but haven't used it yet. Just afraid that I can't do it the justice that everyone else has done.

It was just added to my wish list when I read how you gals do the mirror image relection with the brayer! Soo cool looking, I have to have it.

I have this set and I love it! It is so versatile! I use it for every kind of card you can think of. It is also really nice to make masculine cards.

I saw the mirror image trees - VERY cool.
I think I missed how to do it w/ the brayer.
Anyone have the thread so I can read up on it?

I just got it and I absolutely love it! Very versatile. Just made a sympathy card and was so happy with the results! It's a must have.

LPuite gave these instructions when she posted her card in the gallery. Hope this is what you are looking for. wanda

The reflection was the first thing I did. I inked up the stamp and ran my brayer over the stamp to pick up the image. I than rolled it over the glossy paper, and immediatly following I used my blending pen to smear different parts of the trees. I than used my pastels to give some highlights. I than reinked the stamp and got it as close to the imagine on the bottom. I than did the resist. Than use cotton balls for the night time affect. I than ran the bottom (refection) through my xyron. Glitter this and than use my 2 way glue pen to fill in what the xyron missed. It's very time consuming, but it was fun. Thank you so much for all the compliments. They are all appreciated. Have fun and let me know how things turn out. Good luck and thanks again.

Here's another version from Dawn5377. Wanda

1st of all you are going to do the reflection 1st by inking up the lovely as a tree stamp (i used black ) then roll your brayer over the inked up stamp.. ( i have used the rubber attachment but it will stain if you use black I have been using my acrylic attachment either of them work geat) ( rubber side up) and then roll the brayer on cs starting with the base line in the middle of the cs or where ever you want the image to be .... then turn the cs face up with reflection closest to you.and then stamp the reg image ( the NOT reflection side ) on cs you can line the stamp up much more better doing the reflection 1st... once you do it YOU will have it down ...Its that easy... I must say you all are going to love it ... Its one of those techniques you will get those comments like "YOU STAMPED THIS" WOW.. thats hard to believe.... I just love that when we can create master pieces of work and even fool those all around :-) I always say rubber stamping has come along way BABY!!!
you all must agree huh? Hope this helps ... I have also heard of another way of doing this technqiue by stamping the lovely as a tree stamp onto the "Shape of thing big retangle stamp" and then stamping the reflection on this way ( tip you must huff on the shape of things stamp before stamping image on cs for reflection .. BUT i found this way much harder to line up for the main stamping of image ... just play with both and see what works best for you ..
