Figure 1: Puppies

Stamp your shadow stamp in a light color, and then stamp your image in the middle. (If you don't have a light colored ink, stamp it several times on scratch paper before stamping on your card.)

Figure 2: Springtime		Figure 3: Flowers

Stamp your shadow stamp several times, and then stamp images in each one.

	Figure 4: Evening Thanks

Stamp the large shadow stamp in the middle of your card. Then, decorate the card with other stamps.

Stamp your shadow stamps on your card, without layering them, in a sampler fashion. Then, stamp images in each shape.

	Figure 6: Layered Flowers

Stamp your shadow stamps in a light color, all over the card. It looks good to layer some and not others. You may have to practice a few times to get a design you like. Then stamp an image in the center. This looks good layered onto other cardstock.

	Figure 7: Inverse Autumn

Ink up your shadow stamp with pigment ink. Take a clean un-inked stamp and stamp into the inked area. This will lift off the ink where you stamped it. If you are stamping again, you will need to clean and dry your stamp.

	Figure 8: Framed Flower

This is similar to the monoprint, but you are lifting off ink with your small shadow stamp. Then, after stamping the image, you will stamp your image in the middle.

Create different textures on your shadow stamps by inking it up, and stamping different things into the inked stamp. (Plastic wrap, sponges, rubber pieces, etc.)

Figure 9: Rough-cut Snowman		Figure 10: Beautiful Butterflies

Ink up only the edges of your shadow stamp. You can then stamp and use the other techniques to decorate.

	Figure 11: Multicolored Skies

Use your large shadow stamps to create a custom rainbow pad. Ink up your large stamp with different colors of markers. Use this to ink up your stamps. You can use this over and over before it gets used up. (Works the best with line art stamps.)

	Figure 12: Rainbow Bunny

After trying technique #11, you can use the leftover ink by spraying the shadow stamp with water, and stamping. This will create a neat watercolor look.

Use your sponge to ink up your shadow stamp. Just press a sponge in your ink, and pat onto your stamp. You can make it faded on one side, or on the edges.

You can use other stamps as shadow stamps. Look for bold stamps that would work, like the stars from the double take flag, or the large teapot. Try using them with some of the techniques you've learned.
