    Although stamps with a ginkgo-leaf design were used to stamp this box with a "shadow" technique, almost any type of solid image can be selected.

    Figure A

    Rubber stamps are used to create a unique storage box.

    Materials:

    Organizer boxes
    Rubber stamp
    2 ink pads in different shades of the same color

    1. Press rubber stamp onto lighter ink pad; press stamp firmly and evenly onto box surface. Repeat as desired.

    2. Thoroughly clean the stamp before inking with the darker color (figure A).

    3. Stamp over the lighter stamps, slightly off-center so that a shadowed effect is created.
