Reverse Stamping

The challenge in one of my on line groups was to do reverse stamping using plastic coated freezer paper.  I have the freezer paper that is paper on one side and the other side is slick like wax paper, so I think that's what they meant.  I took the slick side of the paper and stamped my stamp onto it using Memento black ink, the person posting the challenge used Stazon but I new I would be coloring with markers so I tried dye ink instead, I thought it did a pretty good job, I turned my stamped image over and placed it gently on my paper, then rubbed and rubbed with my fingers all over the image to get a good stamp. Next you stamp your original stamp directly to your paper.  They suggested stamping the next one after first stamping off on another sheet of paper first, but I tried it both ways on a scrap paper and thought it looked ok to do a full stamp on it.  I noticed most of the ones who have posted already did theirs side by side but I thought it might look neat to do them on each corners.

The one on the top right is the reversed stamp image.

Connie, I'm amazed every time I visit you. Your card is gorgeous and professional looking. And putting the images in opposite corners was very smart.
