Apple Theme Post Card

Apple Theme Hand Carved Stamp Post Card.  
A swap in honor of the new Apple Stamp that the Post Office has just come out with for 2013. Hand carved
rubber stamp apple with the word, apple,
rustically carved for the background. 
Trying out different surfaces for carving is always interesting. For the apple background I used 
craft foam, very fun and easy to carve a 'rubber' stamp out of!  Also, very easy for children to create
stamps from.  

Hand Carved Mouse with Cheese

This is a post card carving I just completed for a swap that I am doing for the first time. Had 
this little Mouse idea in my head for some time
and wanted to see what he would 
look like, so here he is! Edged the card in blue because he has blue eyes, and he has been eating  Cheese, the crumb's under his whiskers are evidence of that!
Added a carving of cheese and his 
title, MOUSE
'
Would be interested in hearing what you
 think about him?
