Assignment: make a card using inchies
For those who may not know, inchies are one inch square pieces of art. In this case, I had just purchased a little set of one inch acrylic stamps so I chose to try one of them out. I stamped it three times and colored with copic markers. I color-blocked the backgrounds - using the same colors but in blocked areas rather than doing the whole background one color. I rotated the color areas for each inchie.
I wanted to make the inchies look like they were glassy so I covered them entirely with a thick layer of Glossy Accents and left them to dry overnight. Unfortunately, they were slightly curled then they dried. Sometimes they can be flattened out but the studio was cold so they started cracking when I bent them. Solution? Make them crack a LOT and then rub walnut ink into the cracks. This gives the evvect of broken glass.
I chose some table scraps to layer on a yellow folded card base and glued the inchies on with more Glossy Accents. I drew some pen 'stitching' around the top panel and added a gold peel-off greeting.
