Christmas Friends

 Today's card features a fun technique called mirror or reverse stamping. This technique allows you to have your image face the other way. This is really useful when you want your characters to face each other as in todays Christmas Friends inspiration.  The cute mouse just calls out for a friend to sing with don't you agree?

To All you need to do this is a smooth surface .  The smooth surface could be a silicone mat or a glass cutting mat or even a piece of acetate.  
Now stamp your image onto the smooth surface then place your cardstock on top and gently apply even pressure making sure not to rub. You don't want to smudge the image. You might want to practice a few times so that you become familiar with the pressure needed etc.
Once you've taken the cardstock up your image will be facing the opposite way!
