Take out your clear stamps sets and look at them in a new way. Use the BACKS of the stamps and make a card. Examples would be a circle for a balloon, triangle is now a tree or banner. You may use any sentiments. Now go get those clear stamps out and create something!! I would love to see what you come up with.

This is a fun challenge Barbara...it's a technique I hadn't done in years. Thanks for having us revisit it - I look at my clear stamps differently now. Good luck with your challenge - can't wait to see your gallery.
Im thinking this may have gotten a closer look to the what the shape is with something botanical maybe rather than the butterfly but?
(not sure, I mostly have word stamps in clear)
Great Challenge, thanks! I went with Flourishes' Berry Sweet for my umm... angels (or are they butterflies?) created with the back of a leaf stamp- and added an aqua painted, distressed panel for my sentiment. Here's HYCCT1515 Embrace Happiness

Had to get cards made quickly this morning so I could get a sympathy card in the mail so I used a simple rectangle shape for my "back stamping" Mirror Image Ferns
