Challenge YOUrself, stamping

Wow I blink and another month has gone, more on that later though, it's time for this months challenge over at Challenge YOUrself! :)
So this months challenge was to use red, and stamping......

Red, no problem, however I don't own any stamps. Yes you read that right, not a single stamp lives within my stash.
Don't get me wrong I've tried it, different inks, different types of stamps, I just can't seem to get the hang of it.
So I was seriously stuck, then genius struck! In this months Like for ever kit I got a pack of foam thicker shapes, could I use these as 'stamps' I wondered. So I painted this large star with Heidi swapp colour shine, stamped it onto some white card, and...

look how cute! I LOVE this effect, looks a little like water colours. I did a couple of hearts to just to have a mixture.

So this is the finished layout. I painted the foam star green and used it in the top corner too, waste not want not.

Just goes to show there are lots of ways to use your stash, :) Thanks for looking and I can't wait to see what you make!
