More hand-painted cards

This is more of a doodle with design and color than anything.
This Maple leaf was made by covering the leaf with acrylic paint and pressing it firmly against the card. Once the imprint of the leaf has been made I used a paint brush to touch it up. But for the most part this card was very easy to create.
I learned how to take Ferns and use them as stencils when I was visiting New Zealand. I did a greenish background and than used white spray-paint. It has been a supper hot summer in Philadelphia so Ferns are not as easy to find, compared to when its all rainy around here.
This mellow bear kinda looks like he is hugging his mug of coffee. I wanted to start to break out of the common rectangle type of card and see if I could do some cards with odd shapes. So this is the first of several to come.
This is a camera stamp I made over a year ago, but I thought I would dust off the card and post it. It was the first home-made stamp I tried to carve. I would actually try to carve another one in the near future.
