Thanks everyone for the compliments!
Actually I only created the top tiki card with stamps. My husband and I drew the images, and then we had them manufactured into rubber stamps for our company.
How I made the card is, I stamped the tiki, leopard print, wahine, tiki torch, and palm tree images onto my card with brown/blue ink, and then colored them in with blender pen and markers. For me stamping is a fun and quick way of creating art.

However...

On this post I also wanted to show some of my original paintings. So the tiki with the leaves around it and the mermaid in the martini are hand drawn, hand inked and hand painted with watercolor. I didn't use rubber stamps on those two paintings. I'm sorry if I wasn't very clear on that. : )

I posted a description of how stamps are made on another post in creating tiki called "tiki rubber stamps", if anyone is interested in how rubber stamps are made.
Thanks again for the compliments everyone!

P.S. My signature is a rubber stamp too. ; )
