ATCs with Hand-Carved Images

I was first introduced to ATCs through the Carving Consortium on Yahoo!  Now I belong to EraserCuts .
ATCs are a terrific way to test your newly carved stamp with different combinations of cardstock, ink, layout and embellishment. 
     

Asters
This ATC uses 3 different hand-carved floral stamps

For a 2" x 2" print swap, this Iris carving was printed on hand-made leaf-print green paper and mounted on black cardstock

For "It's the Berries" Carving Consortium swap, I carved this image of wild Maine blueberries and printed in multi-color dye ink on blueberry-juice-stained 140# watercolor paper.  Such fun!
