this was my first ever set of inchies I recently made for a swap, gosh they are little... {stating the obvious!!! lol!!}
anyway, Shary organised this swap, and the theme was flowers, so I used my hero arts Zinnia Stamp for this, set, the background is made with about 5 different versa color cubes all stamped onto a glass chopping board and then sprayed with water, and the flower is stamped with the versa bark, also used are Maria George crystals and computer generated words.
I hope you and yours are well, our family has been battling colds and such, they seem to hang around for such a long time, I can't seem to shake one I've had for a while now...
Edit: Mel asked me about Inchies, and as there may be some others who aren't familiar with this term, Yes Mel they are 1" square, and they are swapped like ATC's
some people just collect them and store them in 'coin' holder pages the same way a coin collector stores his coins, others use them on cards and other papercrafts!
hope that helped :O)

Awesome inchies!!
I think its cold season, our family has them too, hopeyou get better soon!
These inchies (such a cute name) are soo sweet, I love the bling on them! Are inchies like ATC's but more inch like in size?? Is that why they are called inchies??

Inchies? Ohhh, I've got so much to learn! How adorable!!!
These are gorgeous. I like the minature detail on them but having tried a while back for the front design of a card, I can appreciate how incredibly tricky they can be to work on & that makes them even more adorable.
These are fantastic inchies! Great choice of stamp and color. Thanks for telling us how you did the background on a glass chopping board :)
Gorgeous card with all these inchies !! Love the gemstones and the words you added.

I love your inchies. I guess too small to get under the foot of your sewing machine.

These inchies are gorgeous Gillian.
How can you bear to give them away? they'd look fab on a card - maybe you should make some more!
