Inch War

Not really, but I have been producing a good few inchies.  Hip was bothering me so I got up and did a bit of stamping to while away the time and take my mind off things.  Decided to join in an inchie swap on one of my groups and needed to produce twelve of the little blighters.

I always use mountboard for my inchies.  I just think it gives them a bit more substance - but if you do it always always remember to colour the sides as it looks unfinished if you leave a white edge to them.  You can't see it on these scans but some of them have Gold Dabber on the edges.  This comes out quite bubbly from my applicator (none of the others do) so when you heat it it sets lumpy and looks quite nice in this instance.

Off to a bad start with these (blame the ink):

Oops! Hadn't realised that last one was balancing on one knee but am leaving it there as there is another one coming up in a mo. Wasn't happy with these and so I did a couple more and eventually had twelve to send off:

Top one is just stamped in black and embossed, second one is coloured with Spun Sugar then butterfly is coloured with Twinkling H2o's, third one is Wild Honey and Tumbled Glass as is the fourth one.  All stamped in  black and embossed in clear.  I had used my Momento Black on the first lot but these were done in Archival Black which came out much better.

First one is coloured with Twinkling H2o's, second is Wild Honey and Tumbled Glass again third one Spun Sugar with Victorian Velvet on the edges and the last one is just Twinkling H2o's.

Last ones - all except third one coloured with Twinkling H2o's - that again, is Wild Honey and Tumbled Glass.

You will recognise two of them as coming from these images which I went on to use for cards:

Bonjour!
