Star light, star bright...

I thought before I head to bed I would create a quick inchie for this weeks Challenge theme on Inching Artists... This is what I came up with. I made the background using a painting technique called Crayon Batik. I then just drew on some stars in black and traced and colored in with a silver glitter pen :) Its simple but I thought it would be a good embellishment for something :D Check out http://inchingartists.blogspot.com for challenges and inspiration :)
There's a new theme added every Tuesday!

Sisterly Love Inchie

I created this Inchie for the weekly challenge at Inching Artists... Im not very happy with the photo, its very blurry (thats what I get for not having a scanner *sighs*) This weeks new theme is Stars but last weeks was Love....

More new Inchies....

Created a few new inchies for Artistic-Creations that I thought I would share. The one to the left is my favorite of the batch :) I loved the vintage rose, it was a really beautiful yellow with the dark green and brown in the leaves.... So I took some beige paper and crinkled it up... flattened it.. then crinkled it again, and flattened it as much as I could. Then I took my stamp pad in Christmas green and lightly dragged it over the paper, and did the same with my chocolate brown stamp pad. :) That was the background of the inchie. I didnt want to do too much to take away from the rose and the background because it has such a cool texture... so I left it simple. I edged the inchie with a similar coor as the darker part of the rose and wha-la, there you have it!

Then you have the snowman set that I put together, with these wicked vintage images I found! :) For the first one I did a similar background as the rose but I used a light blue colored paper and my indigo stamp pad. I added the cute little boy and snowman graphic and a shiny red brad for the top of his hat, then I took my icicle glitter paint pen and added little shiny dots randomly. You cant see them very well in the photo but in person they sparkle really well :) The middle Inchie is my favorite of this set. I used a neat background fiber paper that already had a swirly texture to it and I used my true red stamp pad to lightly add color, and a tiny bit of chocolate brown. I used the cute angel boy and snowman image, a red spangle snowflake from my little stash and a little piece of gold mesh, then I just edged the inchie with a black marker :) And the final Inchie was a simple red striped background paper from my stash of scraps, the lovely vintage image, and I have a mini snowflake stamp that came in handy for this one. I just randomly stamped snowflakes in black and used the icicle paint pen to add sparkles to the centers :)
