Yes, I know… deja vu all over again!  I added the skaters and their reflection to a very similar card that I did last December.

The skaters are from the ‘Welcome Christmas’ stamp set (view it here).

I saw the reflection technique done by simply stamping a piece of acetate in ‘Going Gray’ ink and then pressing it down to transfer the image in reverse.  The gray makes a better reflection and since it isn’t permanent like the Black StazOn (like the skaters are stamped in, so you can wipe off the acetate and use it again).

To view a video on how I did the background sponging technique and masking for snow, click here.  What the video doesn’t show is that I created a second mask for the ice pond.  By sponging around the edges of the ‘pond’ mask, it creates the last truly ‘white’ area for the ice.
