Carving your own rubber stamps is fun, fun, fun! I made this card after learning
how to soft block carve.

 

The chick and egg original image designs are from the book "Rubber Stamp Carving" by Luann Udell.
The chick and egg seen here on my card are my actual stamps that I carved. If you want to know how to carve the
little chick and egg, you will need to purchase the book and read the instructions from Luann. See Luann's
artwork on her site
