Inky Inchies!

I wanted to share my first attempt at Inchies with you today :) I loved the idea of inchies but had been reluctant to take the first steps into the Inchie world for several reasons. I was sure they would be another additction to add to the pile I already have ;) I was also worried about the words people add to them. I know it sounds odd but they all fit so perfectly, I just didn't know if I could do it or not. And they are so freakin' small ~ what can you put in such a tiny canvas?!?!?

Well, the Design Challenge for Purple Faeiry this month was Inchies to celebrate the release of a new inchie stamp design. Perfect opportunity to take the plunge!

I started with the stamp design...Andante Inchie Stamp . A very cool design to begin with and the first thing that came to mind was classical composers and love...so I combined the two! I used black, white and red as my main color choices, a selection of classical composer images and my Pitch Black & Snow Cap Pigment Inks along with the awesome stamp.

We needed to make 2 identical Inchies - one to be displayed as a plain inchie and the other to be used in some sort of project. Here are the inchies I came up with....

and here are the projects I made using them :)

Here I used the inchie stamp for the background of the ATC as well!

I went kind of crazy when I was stamping the backgrounds so I made some extra inchies just because :)

Here is the link to the entire challenge page - June 2008 Challenge - Inchies.

I must say that once I had things shrunk down (images, stamps & embellishments) they were just like making ATC cards so of course I loved them and had loads of fun...and yes, you can add another addition to the books!
