Shadow Stamp Cards

Shadow Stamps

I have not yet begun to explore the possibilities with shadow stamps, but here are a few cards I've made.

This is a birthday card for a woman at work with whom I share a reverence for Martha Stewart!

This is a Mother's Day card for Mom, depicting things she loves, including me!

This was our 2001 Christmas card.

The shadow inks used on this card are soft peach, silver, vanilla and sage.

Love my punches!

I love this face stamp. I need to work on more creative ways to use it.

This is one of my all-time favorite cards. I love the stamp and the colors. The sun was stamped on Magenta Mosaics, which is a page of little squares, sticky on one side. I streaked them with the direct-to-paper method, then adhered them to black paper, using strips of paper to space them perfectly. The torn vellum piece is one of my new favorites too.

Another variation on the theme.

This is a stamped picture I made for Dad. A stamp positioner allows me to center those feathers perfectly. (They are actually leaves but I think they look like feathers.) I like this one a lot.

I love the subtle colors of this card. I used 4 different shadow stamps for this - plus the

the end of an eraser for the rectangles.
