The TLC challenge today was to make your own stamp. I decided to carve mine, something I had tried before and thought was fun. Since we are once again in the grasp of that Polar Vortex (-16 this morning, even colder tomorrow), I had time to carve three! I volunteer on Mondays but since the schools are all closed I didn't have to go. I usually don't do CAS cards but with the nature of the stamps I thought that was the way to go...I did rate the difficulty of this a 3 because of the carving of the stamps ;) Anyway, thanks for looking!

Oh, brilliant! I wondered would anybody have some lino that they could use. My dad used to make linoprint Christmas cards for the last few years, though he did a print rather than stamping. I really like the stylized, organic look of your leaves. A great way of using up a cold morning!
