I think you can do any design with any program if you have the skills. I have used the technique of using a custom shape to cover up things. I didn't know that was possible in Word until I was skilled in Photoshop and Illustrator.

Design softwares don't differ in the features themselves, they differ in the accessibility of the features. Gimp, Illustrator, Correll, Word all the same basic things: shapes, text, colors, gradients. The advantages of higher end softwares are you move things around easily, work with vectors, work with bitmaps, have easily accessible layers, hide things, print certain layers, make sure it's pixel perfect, clone stamp etc.
