I’ve actually made two cards today . . . WOO HOO! I so wanted to do the SCS Sketch Challenge today, so after my nap I jumped on it. Hehe – yep got that afternoon nap in. But sssshhhh, don’t tell anyone! Since I’m watching American Idol while I’m writing this post, I gonna get right to it.
I loved the sketch today because it is perfect to incorporate inchies with. You know I do love to make inchies. When I saw the Home Tweet Home set from Flourishes, the first thing that went through my mind was what I could make inchies with from the set. I’ve been wanting to work with the birdhouses in this set and today I got to do it.
The inchies were colored with Copic Markers, punched out using a 1″ square punch and then mounted on 1″ illustration board. While I was at Hobby Lobby one day, I found in the artists section a package of ATC cards made from illustration board. Today I cut one of the ATCs up into 1″ squares so that I could glue the paper inchies on them for more stability. The background paper is made with that “inky thing I do” by swiping distress pads on a craft sheet and misting with water. Even though it is hard to see in the photo, I misted the paper with Broken China/Gold Distressed Pearlized Mist and then stamped the branch from the stamp set in Antique Linen.
