INCHIES

My first attempt at doing inchies! These were done for a swap. I had a lot of fun once I got over the initial size! I'm thinking how much can you get in an inch. Well, now I know. Will I do them again?.....YES!

ATC Swap

My swaps for June. Our theme was 4th of July and Picnic. The 4th was done with stickers and cut outs. The watermellon and picnic basket was a stencil that I used spackling paste then colored with markers. Bottom picnic basket was stamped then I added a small piece of red and white checkered paper coming out of the basket. I like having the themes and coming up with the ideas. Swap for August is collage, beach or camping. Should be lots of fun!

TEW Workshop

These are the last 2 lessons of the book. Sad that it's ending as it's been a lot of fun. Definately got me going outside my box! The flower card background was done with glossy white, watercolor crayons and water. "Musician" was done with white glossy and inks then stamped over when dry.

TEW Workshop

This lesson required us to do some embossing and "staining" if you will on mulberry paper. The dragonflies were stamped and embossed. The colors were added then the whole sheet was ironed to remove the embossing.

"Journey" was done using glossy white and a resist technique also.

My "Piano Hinge Book". Made with glossy white paper and inks. Used wire and beads to hold it all in place. Mizuhiki cord as the closure.

Dream Box

I made this Tulip Dream Box for a friend's upcoming birthday. She had seen the one I had done for the workshop and liked it. Told her I wasn't going to part with it..lol!! So that gave me the idea to do one in her favorite color purple.

I helped Lori make this card for her friend's daughter's graduation. She's a violinist with her school's orchestra.
