I thought I would continue today with more of my Inchie ABC's. If you have missed these so far, you can click on the Inchie Category from the list on the right sidebar of my blog.
D is for Dimension -- Pop up images and add layers to your Inchies:
Stamp credit: Lockhart Clothesline.
Stamp credits: 1-Lockhart Apples in Chintz, 2-Itty Bitty Dragonfly.
Dragonfly is glued by its body to the Inchie base, but its wings are flying free! Notice where I Initialed my dragonfly Inchie? Under its wings!
You'll also see in the photos above, how nice and thick this black matboard is and that even the core is black -- all the way thru. It makes for a very sturdy base for your Inchie art and is already cut into 1-inch squares for you! More on this matboard below . . .
More dimension . . . below, I added a 1-inch page pebble over the fish bowl:
The white matboard I used for this Inchie (and the black matboard above) is the highest museum preservation quality. The matboard is fade and bleed resistant & lignin-free. I stamped this Itty Bitty Fish image in Brilliance Graphite Black ink directly on the matboard, heat set it, and then colored the image with Copic markers & Spica glitter pens with absolutely no bleeding whatsoever (and no warping from my heat gun)!
D is for Display -- Create a display for your Inchie artwork:
This is a Scrabble game tile holder -- perfect for displaying your Inchie collection(s)! You should see THIS idea Karen Lockhart came up with . . . a piece of wood molding she covered with patterned paper -- beautiful! I'll have some more display ideas for you in the next few weeks, as I just got some new product to play with!
As a reminder, you can find out more about Inchie art thru Ellen Hutson's new Inchie INKlings blog, devoted solely to Inchies! New challenges will be posted on the 20th of each month.
