Following the September theme of Ancient Ages I found some very nice stamps from Non-Sequitur 'Greco-Roman Collage Elements' which fitted the bill nicely
Lucy, the most talented September Muse at Gingersnap Creations, has inspired me to use a new technique for creating the inchies: stamping on tissue. I loved it! The inchies were cut from watercolour card which I covered with vathe rious colours of Rangers Distress and VersaColor ink. The images are stamped on tissue. I covered the inked inchies with Decopatch Glue (use plenty!) and put the tissue onto the glued area smoothing it out quickly and carefully. Once the glue was dried I applied a second layer of Decopatch glue to harden the surface and to give it a little bit of shine.
The final part was to decide what to do with the inchies ... inchies are so versatile and can be used for so many projects ... my friend Jane mentioned the inchie cube in the Craft Stamper magazine and so it was decided (lol) ... a template for the cube is listed at Stamphenge

I printed the template on white card, coloured it with Ranger Distress ink and covered it with lots of pink Stickles. After forming the cube the inchies were attached. A metal wire goes through the top and bottom of the cube ... as embellishments I used beads and sequins and a little stamped and layered ornament to cover the top and bottom part around the wire.
I loved the whole process ... I want to make more inchies ... but I have to be careful they are addictive (lol). Have a go and check out the fabulous creations at Gingersnap Creations, Petra.
