It don't matter if you're black or white....

The Something Completely Different Team are still making inchies, here is what they said about the challenge:

So, this week, we're still in Inchie challenge month and the theme is a colour combo that's always so popular and elegant, its:-

BLACK AND WHITE

So it does matter, it has to be black AND white! I stamped with white onto a piece of black card, the stamp is from Crafty Individuals, and then highlighted with my white gel pen. A little teeny tiny piece of lace and a stick on pearl and it was done!

A bird does not sing...

...because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song. Chinese Proverb

I thought this was a rather apt quote to go along with my two inchies for Something Competely Different. I was too busy last week to take part, so I am playing catch up. Last week's prompt was 'Oriental' and this week it was 'Birds'


The image is a from Art Freebies, background paper Papermania Touch of Teal, stamp is from the Tanda Stamps oriental set.
I went a bit more arty-farty for the bird stamp and 'swiped' the card with Ranger Distress Inks in Peeled Paint, Milled Lavender and Worn Lipstick before stamping the birdie (Crafty Secrets - thanks Joanne!) with Peeled Paint and then once dry overstamping in Sepia Versafine. I'm quite pleased with that, given that it took me all of about 5 minutes lol!

Inchy Swap at Bubbly Funk

This is my 'Face' inchy for the swap on Bubbly Funk Forum. I have only shown the one because they are pretty much all the same. The face is from a vintage photograph courtesy of Isabella Vintage background paper is Simply Stated, I stamped over the image with an Elusive Images stamp and Versamark. Beads, brad from stash.

A thoughtful card

I made this card for a colleague who is unwell. I hope it cheers her up. Paper by Crate Paper, stamp by Studio G. I used the new punch that I bought for my inchies!!!

Inchies Canvas

We had an Inchy Swap on Bubbly Funk Forum, the theme was blue. When I got all my little inchies I wanted to do something with them. I've had this 5 x 5 canvas for some time, having bought it in a sale, so I painted it with some Stewart Gill paint and then stamped over it using the Cornish Heritage Farms 'Cracked Earth' stamp. Quite a few swapees had used little gems on their inchies, so I continued this theme round the edge of the canvas. I've just got to do a fixing on the back and then it can hang in my dining room which is decorated in similar shades of blue.

Apologies to the three people whose inchies didn't go on the canvas, it just didn't look right with 12 inchies and definitely better with 9! I will find another way to display the other three inchies.
