Inch by inch ....

.... I haven't made an inchie card in a very long time - before I had my blog I think.  I like the fiddlyness of them - the precision of stamping on the little grid of squares, adding colour, splatter or whatever, then separating them, inking, backing them and finally ever so carefully mounting them with a little, hopefully perfect, bit of a gap between each one.  Here's the finished inchie card:


I'm entering this in the following challenges: Stampin' for the Weekend and Crafty Girls ("Anything Goes"), Little Red Wagon ("Truly Dimensional"), Creative Inspirations ("Favourite Colour Combination" - I love blue and brown), Crafty Creations ("Happy Birthday") and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenges ("D is for Distress").

The map stamp is from a Tim Holtz set, which also has an airplane that I could have used, but as this card is for a Mini friend, I stamped a Mini instead - and combined with the awful punning sentiment!!  Here's a side-shot of the dimension of the card:


Recipe:
Papers: Authentique "Abroad"
Stamps: Tim Holtz "Warehouse District", Mini
Colouring Medium: Watercolour paints and distress inks
Font: Cheddar Jack - dafont.com
Other: Clear embossing powder, baker's twine, Doodlebug brads

Thanks for looking!

What a cool effect with the image on all of the little squares. Love the look. I adore the mini image and the "punny" sentiment. Thanks for joining in this week Truly Dimensional Challenge over at Little Red Wagon.

Gorgeous card! The inchie technique worked wonderfully here and the inking around each square adds a perfect touch and dimension. Thank you for sharing with us at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
