Introducing Guest Designer.. GABI!!

Each month we'll have a new feature here on the blog.. A GUEST DESIGNER!! Each GDer will have two designated days per month to share projects that they've created using our stamps.

Please help me warmly welcome our first guest designer.. Gabi.

Gabi's Blog

Here is what Gabi had to say about herself:
"I am 46 years old, married with a friendly, loveable husband and my grown daughter lives in Berlin. I live in the west of Germany on the Dutch border. Since my childhood I often had tinkered, painted, sewed and knitted. Since 2007 I work with rubber stamps. I saw some stamped works on the Internet and then I was so amazed and thrilled that I necessarily wanted to make this art form. This has become an addiction!
In various forums we share our experiences and projects, participate in workshops and give us tips.
I'm working mainly ATCs, cards, tags and collages. Especially I like the mixed-media style and vintage-style, but also funny and bizarre motives. I like to experiment with different colors (acrylics, watercolors, chalk and pastel colors), materials and tools. So I like to make very different backgrounds for my works.
Sometimes I connect my stamped art is not only paper but also stitched works."

And here is some of the fabulous work Gabi has put together using our stamps:

This beautiful card features our Accordion Player and Fan - 2.5" x 3" - $10.00

 And for this card she used our Rabbit on Bicycle - 1.25" x a.5" - $6.25 and our Gears Make The World - 1" x 1.25" - $5.50

Thanks so much Gabi!! Check back this time next week for other just as fabulous works by her :)
