Time for a change - fall season sample cards

 

I think fall is probably my favorite season; sunny days and cool crisp nights. A huge mindset change accompanies this time of year too and as much as we will miss the warmth and fun of summer there is something really welcoming about this change of seasons. Here at Inchie Arts we have switched seasonal gears too and you may have seen some of the 'fall' theme sample cards we are now sending out to stores.

 
Stamp Lockhart Two Acorns #5004 onto buff colored paper stock and color with Prismacolor pencils. Punch out a section of the image using a 7/8" punch and mount onto a black Inchie Square. Then affix to an Inchie Paper square, then a larger piece from 7 Gypsies Angelo collection. 

 

Stamp a portion of the Lockhart Indian Corn #5005 directly onto a white Inchie Square*. Color with assorted Copic markers. Mount onto a series of coordinating papers from 7 Gypsies from their Angelo and Nottinghill collections.

 

Stamp Lockhart Sunflowers #2073 onto white card stock. Color with assorted Copic markers including the background (with a very light buff marker). Carefully cut out a portion of the image measuring 7/8" wide and 1 3/4" tall. Cut this exactly in half into 2 - 7/8" squares. Color the edges of two white Inchie Squares with that same buff marker and then mount each of the two stamped image squares onto the Inchie Squares (you will have created a color "frame" that matches the background). Mount the two Inchie Squares with a little bit of space between onto layering card stock.   

 

Stamp a portion of the Lockhart Rocking Chair #2114 onto a white Inchie Square* . Color with assorted Prismacolor pencils and a tad of Copic marker (for the grass). Use a McGill 1 1/2" Fancy Square punch with an Inchie Paper square for the immediate background and then a stripe of coordinating patterned paper.

 

*All of these sample cards were created using only portions of larger stamp images. Take a look at your stamps and experiment with this technique. Also, when stamping a portion of a larger image onto an Inchie Square it is often easier to turn the stamp face up...ink it...and then bring the Inchie Square to the stamp.

All of these samples were created using cards from the various Inchie Notes color collections. Be sure and visit inchiearts.com for more information about all the Inchie Arts products and where to buy them.
