A garden themed freebie! And a new guest designer!

If you have been reading this blog for any time you realize that every Thursday I hide a free digital stamp on one of the Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff DT blogs. When one of my DT girls suggested a garden themed stamp I couldn’t resist, here is the stamp I designed for her in a card using this weeks sketch from 2sketches4you:

Digital Stamp (Garden Tools) Lindsay's sTamp Stuff, Paper: K&Co., Rubber stamps: (thankyou) PSX, (with love) Inkadinkado, Other: Elelets and yarn

Digital Stamp (Garden Tools) Lindsay's sTamp Stuff, Paper: K&Co., Rubber stamps: (thankyou) PSX, (with love) Inkadinkado, Other: Eyelets and yarn

To get the textured surface on the pot I colored it with my Bic Mark-Its then used a very light (brick white) Prismacolor marker and dabbed spots everywhere to get the mottled look of a clay pot. The “thank you” stamp is an old (2002) PSX stamp and the little circle “handmade” stamp is from inkadinkado. It’s fun to mix rubber and digi images, it really stretches your supplies!

I love the paper on this card, it is from a pack of 300 sheets that came in a cute  box at JoAnns on sale for $20, and yes, it’s 12×12! You get 3 each of 100 designs, you could split it up with three people and all increase your paper stash! As for the fiber I got that at my local yarn shop, they have big bins of partial rolls and the lady let me cut off a couple of yards of each kind for free! I bet you can guess when I bought my yarn after that!

alright I know what you are thinking “Where’s my freebie, lady?” Well as always you have to find it! It is on one of my Design Team Members blogs, but before you start hunting I want to introduce you to our guest designer for August Diana Stout, She will be making wonderful projects for you all month long!
