Reflection Technique My First Try

Yesterday I watched Barbara Grey on Create & Craft I was so impressed by her reflection methods that I wanted to have a go straight away The only big and juicy pad I own is "Spice" so that limited my colour choices. I located my brayer which just happened to be a speedball one, the one Barbara recommened more by luck on my part that design. So I then wondered what stamps I could use so I thought trees would works I had no grass, so used the side of a piece of card and generally improvised with what I had I know where all the faults are but now I have the general idear I will try again Now I,m wondering if I can use normal ink pads or would they be too dry ? Not sure guess it trail and error
