Inchies for CAS Mix Up ........

Happy Thursday .......

I'm playing along with the CAS Mix Up Challenge today.  The theme this month is ....... Inchies

What are Inches?  Well, they're little pieces of artwork and when I say little I mean, one inch squares .... hence 'inches'.
I've made twinches (two inch squares) but I don't think I've ever done inches before ..... here goes

I don't know about inches .... I've got a whole foot here ..... 12 of them!!  Each square measures just a smidgen under an inch, and they're all on the same stamp so it was really easy to create the background.
I simply inked up the stamp using the new Opaque Pigment inks from Crafter's Companion. These are really nice ..... great colours and they stamp beautifully.
I did use my MISTI to stamp the two different colours.  I used the pale blue first all over, and then followed with the pink just around the edges

With my stamp still in place I used the 'kissing technique' to get the floral image onto the seperate inches.
I inked up the stamp using a Versafine Clair ink and then gently kissed the surface of the background stamp and then stamped it over the squares

A quick blast with a heat tool to make sure the ink was dry, before I inked up the inches stamp again, this time using Versamark ink.  I sprinkled over some clear embossing powder and then heat set

All it needed was a simple sentiment to finish off .

So that's Inches ...... done.  Stamping ...... done.  And the 'Your Choice' element was .... heat embossing ..... done!

Thanks for stopping by ...... enjoy the rest of your day.
We've got the little man overnight tonight.  Lauren and Robbie are off to the Villa Marina to see Level 42 would you believe.  Now there's a blast from my past!! 
Lauren bless her, has no idea who they are, a bit before her time.  It's Robbie, her partner who's the big fan!!  I'm sure they'll have a great night.  We've got fish and chips and a movie I think! 

Cheerio until next time .......
