Carving stamps on Sunday

007 copy copyOne of the things I bought at yesterday's pop up store, was this deer head. I mean to use it to give the house a Christmas feel...even though I'll be in England. And this morning, that beautiful deer head put me in mind to do something animaly and Christmasy.IMG_7707 copy copyI decided that carving stamps to use on Christmas cards or wrapping paper might be fun.IMG_7709 copy copyChloe was busy working, ( she had some extra weekend work because her boss had to go out of town), but then she finished her work just as I said, "OK, let's see what I got!"IMG_7712 copy copyOne fox and one sitka spruce. I love the way these two turned out. C loved the way they turned out. We decided to carve some more. (note to self: never use scratched stamp rubber)IMG_7711 copy copyClover grabbed a piece and designed some lovely trees.IMG_7713 copy copyI love C's graphic style. This will look lovely on anything she stamps with it.IMG_7714 copy copyPretty soon the fox and spruce were joined by an owl, and then a badger.013 copy copyOK, time to stop and make Sunday supper. But that was so much fun today. I think I'll carve some more tomorrow. :D
