Christmas Postcard 2015

Name:     Holiday Postcard 2015

After spending several hours carving the 2014 stamp, I decided to use several smaller stamps carved throughout the year.

Christmas Postcards

Created:  Dec 2011
Swap:     -

I have created several Christmas Postcards over the years. 
This one was an early carving on foam so it lacks detail.

Look! Color!

Name:     Crayola 64
Created:  March 2017
Swap:     -

I wanted to make a set of cards that could be used as a color reference for my Marvy Markers when choosing a color to use on a stamp.  I also wanted some quick cards to send in to Marjorie's Potpourri.   I wasn't planning on making the complete set, but mostly positive logs from people who have received them means I will continue to send them each month for awhile.

(The number is the Marvy number for each color and is only written on my set)

National Parks Centennial Poster

Name:     Centennial Poster - Glacier National Park
Created:  Aug 2016
Swap:     National Parks Centennial - Poster Art

This is a two-layer stamp.  First is green/blue then black.   There is nothing that needs to align perfectly so I made the stamp slightly oversized and then cut off the edges of each card to get a clean look.

I finally completed all 45 stamps and assembled one set of cards.  This winter I'll work on finishing a few more sets.
