I like to use my stamps in different, unexpected ways, such as this shell from Blockheads Paper Arts. I stamped it onto a circle die cut several times, and let the beautiful black and white etchings speak for themselves. (I did another card with this set, too; you can see it at my blog)

This is so creative Colleen. I love the design that the shell stamp makes. It's unexpected yet it pulls you in. The center rhinestone piece is so pretty. Beautifully done.
