Valentine's day digi stamp freebie download

hey y'all! hope you're having a wonderful wednesday! i spent most of mine with a sweet new artist friend. we lost all track of time and what felt like an hour was, in reality, THREE! lol! can't wait 'til we can get together again....we talked about painting together next time, so i gotta get my act together and get my studio cleaned up 'cause you can barely walk in there.... ...yet again. lol!

yeah, i create chaos when i paint....and it drives my hubby nuts 'cause my studio is the first thing you see when you walk in our front door {it used to be our dining room....now its my painting studio and it doesn't have a door}.

but i digress....

what i really came here to post about was a fun little freebie for y'all. for a few weeks now, i've had in my head that i wanted to create something that was downloadable for people who are paper crafters, card makers, and scrapbookers....in other words, all those super fabulous craft artists out there! :D

so what i've done is created a digi stamp from one of my newest drawings for you to use in your paper crafts. cool right? i thought so too! i'm super excited about the prospect and possibilities of this new venture and want to start offering digi stamps for sale in the very near future, so this is a little preview of what's to come....

is this something y'all would be interested purchasing from me? please chime in and let me know!

the future digi stamps will feature my girls with their whimsical contemporary style and sketchy/hand drawn look.....normally they won't have text like this free digi stamp.

below the preview pic, you will find a link to the full size .PNG file, which is at 300 dpi and is approximately 3"x6" in size. "right click" the link to save the file to your computer. this free digi stamp is designed to be like a ready made valentine's card....just print on cardstock + add color with markers or pencils...and voila! you've got a sweet little card with your own personal touch. you can give it just like that or add it to a handmade card with embellishments. so fun! you can even add it to your valentine scrapbook layouts!

all i ask is that you come back here and post a link in the comments of this post {or  post a pic on my facebook fan page} to what you make with it...even if its just coloring it in....i wanna see! oh and i'm hoping to put together a little design team for this new venture once it gets underway. :D

happy creating! and be sure to share this post with your friends so we can spread the ❤ love ❤! can't wait to see what y'all come up with!!!!

love+hugs!

On the easel

...well, technically not on the easel 'cause she's too small for that (5"x7"). She's my latest in the "daily blessing girls" series (new tentative name for this series...more on that later) and she's still in progress. I'm hoping to get her all finished and ready tomorrow.

I'm painting at least an hour or two almost every weekday (sometimes longer) and although I don't always finish a girl each day (things come up and of course I have bunches of other things wanting/needing my attention), its nice to be able to start and finish a painting as quickly as these girls are coming together. For my larger and more detailed work, it takes many, many hours to complete a painting. With these painting studies, they allow me to finish a piece quicker....so I don't have to charge as much for them since they don't have nearly as much work time invested in them.

I would love some feedback on these new paintings, so please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Thanks bunches y'all!!! I'm off to fix some lunch before my tummy gets really unhappy with me. ;) :D xoxo
