Winter Card
Inchie Card
The blue background paper is handpainted using a babywipe technique and acrylic paints. I had a leftover piece from an 18"x24" piece I had painted and the colors matched these inchies perfectly. Then I stamped and embossed with black ink the swirly row stamp [which is about a domino size] then made a mosaic pattern. Sb
Inchies
These are my four inchies that I am sending off to a friend in my SSUS group. Then she will pick one and make a card to send back to me. Mr. Postman... I am waiting...
I made a background with scrap paper and some strips of alcohol ink painted sticker paper stuck to my glass mat. This made a nice asian looking, graphic bamboo effect. Then I stamped over it with these new inchie size Inkadinkadoo stamps I have been coveting. They will be great for backgrounds. The one on the top right has a chop stamped on vellum and then stitched to the inchie background [I was fixing a mistake - the stamp didn't really show up on the background it blended in] - but I love it.
