Dream

The challenge from Inching Artists
was to make
Triptych Inchies.


The rubber stamps are from Paper Artsy
& by Elusive Images from Graphicus.

The images were stamped onto white card
& then covered with acetate,
coloured with Tim Holtz alcohol inks.

The dream wording background is my own design,
printed onto white card.

The inchies were then mounted onto a triptych frame,
made from mountboard.

The hinges were a great find from my local hardware store.

Huff & Puff

These are my Housies inchies for Inching Artists, which are based on the children's story of The Three Little Pigs.

Like the tale, the straw house (Hope) was the easiest and quickest to make. The house image was simply stamped onto a brochure image of a straw hat. The house made from twigs gathered from the garden (Expectation) took a little longer, but the house made from bricks (Confidence), which were cut from a magazine photograph of a fireplace, was the hardest (very fiddly) and took the longest to make.

The rubber stamp was free with an issue of the Craft Stamper magazine.

Seek

This is my Eye Spy inchie for Inching Artists.

Using a keyhole from Tim’s distressables Lock & Key cardstock (0742) and an eye rubber stamp from Across the Miles set by Non Sequitur Stamps.

Zebra

This is my Monotone inchie for Inching Artists.

Simple but I think effective. It is based on one of those slide puzzles where you have to move the pieces around until you complete the picture.

Treasure

This is my inchie for the All that Glitters challenge by Inching Artists.

The image is of diamond jewellery. The middle is decoupaged and I have added clear gems and used clear stardust and silver leafing pens. The word is from one of Tim's cutable doo-dads sheets.

Love

This is my Love inchie for the challenge set by Inching Artists.

I have used iris folding as an illustration of the many layers of love in my heart.

Love is ...

The challenge was to make an Artist Trading Card using just one colour and with the tag line of "Love is ..."

I have used patterned paper designed by Vanessa Arbuthnott for The English Paper Company, Tim Holtz's Distress Ink (aged mahogany). The rubber stamps were from Magenta's Retro Romance puzzle set and Memories of Italy set by Non Sequitur Stamps.

Stars in their eyes

This is the Star Gazing challenge from Inching Artists.

I have used images from Crafty Individuals Miniatures 'People & Places' book.

Cross my palm with silver

This is the Fortune Teller challenge from Inching Artists.

The hand print stamp is from Claritystamp. I have used Tim Holtz Distress Inks (aged mahogany & tattered rose). The gypsy word is cut from one of Tim's doo-dads word sheet. I have also used words from K&Company Life's Journey Dictionary 12" x 12" paper(636279), as they are just the right size for inchies.

Let's Dance

This is The Roaring Twenties challenge from Inching Artists.

The background stamp is from Clever Cut and the Harper's Bazar Crêpe de Chine lady stamp is from Claritystamp. I have added clear Accent Beads to the dress and use a black stardust pen from Sakura.
