Inchies of Gratitude ......



A big thank you to all who take the time to comment on my blog.  This monochrome card sums it all up !  This card also fits the bill for the Less is More Blog Challenge for week 272 whose requirement is for you to 'Use 3 Stamps'.  That's exactly what I have done here !

I started with a 5 x 7 inch topfold white card blank.  From another piece of white card I cut a smaller matt and embossed this through a an Indentz leafy vine folder using the Sizzix Big Shot. This was adhered on the card front.





I then stamped a couple of Spring inchie stamps on more white card in Versafine black ink.  These were punched out with a 1 inch square punch.  I then diecut more larger squares in more white card and layered up the stamped inchies on these using foam pads.

These were adhered over another strip of white card left plain.





The sentiment (Papertrey Ink) was stamped on white card with more Verafine black ink, trimmed out and mounted as shown on more foam pads to finish.

So thanks once more !!

    This is so elegant and reminds me that I don't use my embossing folders often enough.
