Linda Bystrom creates pictures with patience, enthusiasm—and plenty of stamps. She started stamping nearly 20 years ago. “I got started cardmaking at first. There was a booth at a church conference—I sat down at the table and thought, ‘Oh man, I could do this. I don’t sew, I don’t knit, but I could do this.’ ”
Four beautiful scenes by this talented stamper are included in the Fall issue’s artist profile.
