Splashes of Watercolor

I love inchies! I’ve been playing along in the Inchie Inkling monthly challenge, and this is my April entry for inchies focused on food.

The Lockhart Fruit Bowl stamp was perfect for this challenge and it pairs so well with the Stampin’ Up! Summer Picnic DSP which I love!

I actually only stamped and colored the fruit bowl once, then punched out the portion with the grapes. Well I couldn’t just toss out the rest of the image, so I punched out another portion and made a second card using the same elements and layout. I just switched up the colors and the placement of the focal image & sentiment.

The inchies were stamped on white cardstock and colored with Copic markers, then glued onto inchie chipboard squares. I glued tiny strips of the green striped paper around the edges of the chipboard. The frames were made by punching out a square with the 1-1/4″ square punch, then centering that in the scalloped square punch. The blue DSP background for each frame was punched with the 1-3/8″ square punch. The frames were attached using mounting foam tape to raise them up to the same level as the chipboard squares.

Ahem! I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but my blog header is a little out of date since it says “spring”!! I’m up for suggestions on sites that have free packages to download for creating a new banner. Your help would be appreciated!

Thank you for visiting today. I look forward to seeing you next time!
