There are some great things you can do with the css text- shadow property.
Here is a cool stamped text effect using a background and a text shadow in combination.
Give your background element a grey background color, and give the text a white shadow.
[code language=”css”]
#stampedtext{
display:inline-block;
background-color:grey;
}
#stampedtext h1 {
text-shadow: 0px 1px 1px white;
color: black;
} [/code]
