Here's another card made with one of my hand carved stamps. I used the same ink, and similar papers as other cards made using other hand carved stamps. I like the country look to the projects I've made with the stamps.
I think this card needs a little something, though. Maybe a little greeting tag tucked under the button... I like how the stamps don't necessarily stamp perfectly every time. I think it adds to the charm and "handmade" quality. Oh what fun I'm having!
I love the brown birdy in the bottom corner. How about one of your cool banner sentiments in white running along the bottom?

Love this card. I need to go check out your other posts on the handcarved stamps. If you add something else to the card might I suggest a little strip of dp or a greeting in the chocolate panel on the bottom of the card?
Happy Stamping!

Are you the lady who designs the SO CUTE chicken stamps for Whippersnapper Designs? I have ALL of your little guys and gals, and I LOVE them! My friends have learned to expect
chickens for their birthdays. Thanks so much, and keep them coming.
I know this post has nothing to do with your hand-carved stamp--sorry. (I like that one too.)

Your hand carved stamps are killing me! I ADORE them! This bird, and the card you made with it are amazing! I think the echinaecia is still my fave, but I love them all!

I think it needs a nice little Happy Bird-day tag underneath the button with a coordinating envelope addressed to me!! "wink" ;0) Such a cute card and stamp. I like the dark brown background really makes the kraft and birdies stand out.

I LOVE your hand-carved stamps! Perhaps I missed it, but did you explain how/what materials you used to make them? Would you ever consider doing a photo tutortial? They rock!

I love this card just the way it is. I already have way more craft projects than I will ever see to completion, but know I want to try carving my own stamps!!!
Have a great day, stay cool in TX (national news is covering the heat crisis there!) HUGS...

Anna,
I love these hand carved stamped cards. You may inspire me to dig out my carving materials and try this again.
I think the card needs a little greeting, but place it on the bottom black area. Any news on the cows, I'm waiting...
