LINDA S. - Snail's Place

Hello from Ontario, Canada! I’m very excited to have the opportunity to be a Guest Designer for Loves Rubber Stamps. I’ve had some kind of creative outlet since I can remember, but severe rheumatoid arthritis forced me to give up all of my hobbies. About five years ago, a friend introduced me to rubber stamping and I was so happy to discover it was something I could do; watercolouring is my favourite technique and one that I can easily manage, so I watercolour almost all images with a paintbrush and usually distress inks, but I also use twinkling H2Os, dye-based markers and watercolour pencils. My style has changed from clean and simple to incorporating more designer papers, but the one constant is that I love cute and whimsical characters that make me smile.

thanks again for this opportunity!
