Dream

Stamped three different Shell stamps from Hero Arts Antique Engravings set onto glossy card stock (assembled onto an acrylic block together, don't stamp separately, saves time) with Versamark, let it dry for a minute,then I sponged different color distress inks with a summery feel to them over the top. I'm thinking here of sweet melons, strawberries, limes, lemons and blue skies!

Punched out the squares and assembled them in grid fashion. Added some string and a tag.
I chose the sentiment 'Dream' because a holiday by the Sea shall always be my dream holiday!

Inchie tags

It was a post by Chris that gave me the idea of making some tags, even though her post turned out to be a card :)

 That is inspiration I suppose, it can happen in a flits.

Stamping on distress background

This is a mix of many stamps using distress inks and white ink creating shadows, which are hardly visible once it drys.

I added two little digital butterflies.

Grid in a diecut frame

Another way to use inchies. Just arrange them under a frame.

I have punched out squares from the Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden papers, added a prima and a button. I distressed the fame with antique linen and then stamped over the top with Hero Arts Envelope pattern design block.

Summer grid

One of my favorite pastimes, puzzling scraps together into a grid, this one I've called 'Summer', mainly because of the colors.

The bird on the sixth square from the top is one that Jean sent me from Cornish Heritage Farm stamps. Most of the other ones are Hero Arts and Pink Paislee.

Grid with Pink Paislee, inspired by Petra and color combo

I saw this card this week which Petra had made and it inspired me instantly. I had made a card with the color combo of beige, blueberry and dusty rose so I combined her inspiration with the color combo for a grid.

Added a couple of pearls and a postmark.

Mini inchies not being the focal image

Alot of the time inchies are the focal image. Here I used them as an added decoration to the card.

Image is from the Graphics Fairy. Stamps are Penny Black and Pink Paislee.

Spring grid with nest

I sorted out this punched squares according to colors, patterns and a Spring theme.

I don't use organe that much, but it seems to suit Spring just as well as Summer.

Simple Frame from Hero Arts

This card shows why I really wanted the versatile Simple Frame from Hero Arts and I was lucky enough to win it in a March contest on their blog.

These are just punched squares from unused projects, assorted according to color, more than patterns.
The leave branch in the middle is a very old Hero Arts stamp, still love it! BTW, cutting out the frame is done in no time!

Green

Picked out all the green squares I have punched out in the past and made another little puzzle while I was watching the tennis.

My favorite pastime.

Grid on a diecut

Just trying something different.

Using blues and greens;
