Watercolor Shapes (#156968) is one of those versatile stamp sets with shapes that often gets overlooked – this stamp set is now retired and SOLD OUT but I wanted to share some ideas for using shape stamps with you as other sets have shape stamps in them.
Using the shapes as a background is one easy way to use this set and creates a lovely backdrop for this simply stamped card.
I stamped the background and them restamped the photopolymer clear stamp again on these 1/4″ Real Red cardstock strips. Stamped the Biggest Wish sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and added a few Matte Black dots to finish it off!

Not only did I use the small square for the background in this card as well, but I did a rock n roll effect (this is where you take a stamp and roll the edges only in the ink pad so that the center of the stamp remains less or uninked and stamp it down on the paper)
This “halo” effect of the rock n roll technique creates a spotlight for the sentiment! I stamped it onto a rainbow scrap piece of paper and added Brilliant Wings die cuts and Matte Black dots!

This card uses the same technique as the last sample but in a different color scheme.
This sample uses the larger circle as a background image for the sentiment. Popped up over the smaller circle background it adds interest and continuity to the card!
Using multiple colors and shape images this card uses the same techniques as the last sample but adds depth and dimension using the multiple colors and shapes.
This next sample uses the retiring color Mint Macaron and retiring die set Brilliant Wings dies as the foreground for the small square pattern made with the Watercolor Shapes stamp set.
Starting yesterday I will be posting every Sunday a color challenge – I would love to see what you all come up with – yesterday I posted a five color palette featuring Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Real Red.
