Selecting A Shadow Stamp

Shadow Stamping Tips

A good shadow stamp will be either a solid geometric shape or a geometric shape with a design in it. Do not consider a geometric shape with an image printed in it as a shadow stamp. You need that background making ability that a geometric shape gives you. The stamps below give you squares, circles and rectangles to shadow stamp with.

Shadow Stamps

Textured or Background Clear Stamps: Though not a solid geometric pattern, these stamp sets will give you an eye catching background to your shadow stamping projects. You may want to mix them with a solid square shape for even more dimension. Try stamping these designs on a solid stamp in the "Stamping on a Stamp" technique outlined in the Shadow Stamping Article

Geometric Stamps: Geometric patterns and shahpes in any and size will most likely to be your favorite shadow stamping stamps as they are excellent in all shadow stamping projects.

Alphabet Background Stamps: Some Alphabet Clear Stamp sets include background stamps. Any alphabets background stamp that is solid will be a great shadow stamp as these often give you more shapes and designs to choose from.

Foreground Stamp Selection

Typically a foreground stamp will be a solid shape or near solid shape. Below are some common stamps we suggest to help you in each technique explained in the shadow stamping article - "Shadow Stamping - Quick Elegant Projects". You do not have to stick to just the stamps listed below as just about any stamp will work depending on your project and theme.
