As a lot of you know, my good friend and crafting buddy Doni High (Lime Green Giggles) passed away in May. I was thrilled when her family offered her stamps & dies to me to continue using in honor of my good friend. This is one of the few wooden block stamps she had in her stash. She had LOTS of clear stamps but I'm thinking when clear stamps became popular she must have down sized and got rid of her wooden stamps.
This is a House Mouse Designs (circa 1998) stamp called 'Pincushion' which I colored using Tombow markers, artist brush & water.
I've used scraps of Fall Sunflower papers to create my background.
