Xmas Inchies

These Xmas Inchies were done as part of the UK Stampers 3 x 3 Inchie swap. I have used black mountboard as the base. Small studio G Xmas stamps were stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with detail clear embossing powder. I then dabbed on Starburst stains in red, green and gold. The EP acts as a resist and allows the black background to show through. They were each edged with Krylon gold pen.

They are dark, I admit....but have a subtle shimmer with the mica in the starburst stains!

Hope you like them:-)

3 x 3 Inchie Swap No. 2

Well, finally finished my inchies for the UK Stampers 3 x 3 Inchie Swap No. 2. This months theme is 'Autumn' being the appropriate season for this. Enjoyed doing them though and have had a very crafty weekend and have done loads of projects.

I started with a 3 inch by 3 inch square of orange card and applied Adirondack inks in lettuce, raisin and butterscotch working well with cut'n'dry foam. I then stamped randomly with various leaf stamps from the See D's morsels lattice & vine set using Distress inks in mahogany, pine needles and dried marigold. I used a vine stamp and applied Versamark randomly and then heat embossed the vine impressions with penny copper EP.

The piece was then cut into 9 individual squares with the cutter. I used a Fiskars floral corner punch and cut out 18 orange and moss green leaves applying 2 to each square with glue stick. The inchies were then edged with dark brown Colorbox chalk ink.

Hope you like them :-)

3 x 3 Inchie Swap 1

"The numbers came in three by three" Well not quite !!!!!

Here are Inchies made for the 3 x 3 Inchies swap on UK STampers Forum. This months theme is 'NUMBERS' . I have used some fairly heavy card as a background and applied a page out of an old electronics book to the card with glue stick. This was then cut into the Inchies with a trimmer to make the bases. I have simply applied Whispers Dye inks with Cut'n'Dry foam, blending to achieve a graduated effect. I have then applied some dimensional antique epoxy number stickers in various positions. I used a single eyelet stamp (anon), stamped with Versafine vintage sepia ink. The Inchies were finished with edges in blue iris Colorbox chalk ink.

Hope you like them :)
