Totally gojuss dt

Time for another challeng on the Totally gorjuss challenge blog and this week, challenge 81 we want to see "Water", anything depicitng water.

When i saw the challenge this week i remembered making a card very similar to this a llllloooonnnnggg time ago and decided to give it another go.  When you think of water, dont you think of seeing a reflection in the water?  i do!
The image is from Mo's store here, oh i just love this image.
To do this with a digi image is real easy and of course you can since it doesnt come with the clause of not duplicating via a printer.  Once you have imorted the image to your document for printing, just flip the view horisontally and print two images, VOILA!! i did however soften the ammount of ink it would print with as i didnt want a crisp image for the reflection, colored my two images identically and then just added a bit of my white gel pen for shimmerz on the water, to give the rippled look of water.
All the embellies are from the stash.
Hope you are inspired to join in with our water challenge

Paola

    This is just amazing! When I first saw it I loved how it looked, but thought to myself "I don't have enough energy to color the same picture twice. I love the idea of duplicating it for the reflection. It's just absolutely beautiful.
