Cool & Simple MY DIGITAL STUDIO Technique

I found a card on Splitcoast Stampers that I wanted to CASE, but try and do digitally just for fun. It’s been a few days since I played around in My Digital Studio (MDS) and wanted to do something quick and easy today.

Here is the card I wanted to CASE:

When I got into MDS and started working on the project, I noticed that I can’t do “tone-on-tone” or “color-on-color” stamping like I can with my traditional inks and stamps. When I changed the color of my stamp to Old Olive to match the paper, It completely blended in and disappeared. So as I played around trying to figure out what would look the best, I found that playing with the drop shadows had the coolest look and affect.

All I did was change the color of the stamp to Old Olive and then add a drop shadow that I liked (I think it was 4,5 offset). Then I made a copy of the stamp and chose to paste it without offset so it laid right on top of the previous one. I then added a drop shadow to this stamp that was the exact opposite of my first drop shadow (-4, –5 offset). I REALLY liked the result it gave me. It almost looks embossed or engraved into the cardstock rather than just stamped on it.

What do you think?
