Man on the Moon

Name:     We Didn't Start the Fire: Moon shot
Created:  Dec. 2013
Swap:     We Didn't Start the Fire, Round 4

July 20, 1969

I have created three cards using this moon-on-black background.  The first one was my E.T. card. I had plenty of extra moons already printed so I used them for a Moon Landing card.  The 'black' paper is faded and is a nice dark purple.

Name:     Doctor Who Companions
Created:  Late 2012 with more added each season.
Swap:     none



Rose Tyler            Amy Pond       Donna Noble
Mickey Smith     Rory Williams     Wilfred Mott

It would only take a quick glance at my profile to notice that I have dozens of Doctor Who LTC's. I have several themed series and will dedicate one week each month to Doctor Who cards.
This first set is the Companions.  I wanted to plant a Doctor Who series and first picked all 11 (now 13) 'Faces' but I had many stamps donated and I only needed to carve about half. With the Companions I carved all of them myself and made cards.
This is the first group of companions that I carved.  Once I saw how well they came out I carved the others.


The stamps ready to carve.   This is the second step in making LTC's.  (After finding an image)
