We set to on some potato stamps, with me wielding the paring knife to bang out a few sketchy designs. Let's keep it simple people. So it was that I carved out a heart, a star, and a Christmas tree which the Doctor kept referring to as the arrow. Ahem.
We kept the palette simple. The Doctor tried to go nuts mixing, but I pulled him up. Usually, I would do no such thing, but I didn't like the thought of posting out some musty/dirty coloured Christmas cards - it really would have been festy rather than festive.
Once the paint has dried we've got plans to embellish our designs. I'll show you those once they're done.

They look super cute! I can't wait to do things like this with Cohen. This year I have high hopes of Gocco-ing up some cards. We shall see how that goes...
The the phone stool too, can't wait to see the master plan.

Potato stamping is the best! The recipents will LOVE them! *s*
Looking good! We are doing the Kids Craft Weekly Christmas card swap, and I think I'll be sacrificing some potatoes sometime soon!
They look fantastic!!! Loving your potato prints very much... and I think you are giving hallmark a run for their money.
