The minute I saw the new Stampin' Up! "The Open Seas" set, I thought of the Shadow Block Stamping Technique. Really – any stamps that lend themselves to a "collage" look, work great for Shadow Block Stamping.
Dawns Stamping Tip – Shadow Block Stamping
1. Ink up Clear Block D in Crumb Cake ink
2. Stamp onto Very Vanilla cardstock
3. Stamp additional images "collage style" over the "shadow" created in previous step
