Mirror Stamping for See-Saw Fun

The couple from Lawn Fawn's Bicycle Built for You found a park along their ride here on the front of my card:


The boy was mirror stamped to face his girl friend.  I didn't get a crisp stamped image, so I used a Copic Multi-liner to even out the stamp lines. Both were colored with Copics and fussy cut.  The see-saw was stamped on kraft cs twice, shaded with Copics, and cut separately.  They were fixed together with a brad so the couple can move up and down.  I added foam tape to the base for easier movement.  The sentiment will go on the inside of the card.

Lawnfawnatics has a great sketch challenge going on right now.  I used the see-saw as the narrow horizontal block and switched out a square for the circle. 
Supplies:
Lawn Fawn Stamps:  Bicycle Built for You, Let's Play
Lawn Fawn Dies:  Quilted Backdrop, Pivot Pop-Up (cloud and tree), Stitched Hillside Pop-up (partial cut for grass), Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up (stitched rectangle for sky and grass)  
Lawn Fawn Paper:  Perfectly Plaid 6x6 paper pad
Copics:  E000,00,02, 21,23,25,27,29,31,51,53,55,57, RV21,23,25, R32,35,37,39, B60,63,66, C00,02, black Multi-liner

Thanks for coming over to visit.  I hope you are having a wonderful day!

  5. This is absolutely adorable, and so cool that the see saw moves. I have never gotten good results when I've tried mirror stamping, and so I am doubly impressed with that, too.
