Apple Seasons Kit

Actual dimensions(WxH in inches): [tree] 1.9 x 3.3 - Material: Nasco Safety-Kut - May2003
 
This is actually a "kit" of 13 separate stamps. I used these stamps in various combinations with various inks to create a series of 4 ATCs called "Apple Seasons" (see below). The kit is comprised of a tree, 2 apples, a flower, 4 grasses, a leaf and 4 seasonal indicators. I used seasonally colored card stock and stamped it as appropriate.

In the way of stats... there are 24 separate stampings on the "Spring" card (21 flowers), 28 stampings on "Summer" (22 leaves), 29 stampings on "Fall" (same 22 leaves), and 4 stampings on "Winter". If I were to do something like this again I'd carve all the leaves on a single stamp... it took a heck of a long time to stamp all those leaves! ...and I did it on two different cards!!! I also hand-drew a frame where it may have been better to carve one with the tree. My little red "signet" is in the lower right of each card.
