One Stamp....Many Ways: A Simon Says Stamp Challenge

The most wonderful thing about stamping is the endless ways that the stamps can be used. This week, The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is to use one stamp many ways. 
Last Summer I wrote a tutorial on the Simon Says Stamp Blog, entitled: "5 Ways to Inspire Creative Stamping". In this post, I talked about doing many of the same things that I did for this challenge: play with the image. 
One stamp, many ways.


I used the umbrella stamp from the new Simon exclusive Spring release. Mixed media, watercolor, paper piecing...so many possibilities with just one little stamp!
We would like to see what you can do with one stamp. You don't need to create four different examples, like I did. Just have fun! 

What can you do with one stamp? Link your project to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog and your project could win a $50 gift voucher to Simon Says Stamp We draw a new winner each week. Your project could also be chosen to be featured in our weekly designer spotlight.

  8. I really like the technique you used in the bottom right. It's got a retro feel that's very appealing. A simple process with a big payout. I'm off to re-read your "practical" post as I can't remember what I had for dinner last night.

  15. Well, Michelle, you've done it again. I stared at your post so long that I got the, "Earth to Andrea," comment from my husband. But I couldn't help it! How can I not thoroughly enjoy every second on your blog and want to hang out here to soak it all in? These umbrellas made me happy and made me give a huge kudos to your creativity. Each card was so absolutely unique, yet I love each and every one. I will gladly go into a comatose state every time I visit here!
