Long ago in my early paper crafting life, I had an adhesive sheet of white inchie squares in my stash. The idea was to stamp a section of the little squares with one large stamp and evenly set the squares in a grid format to recreate that stamp with spacing on a card. My patience for this tedious labor resulted in a couple cards, I think.
On the recent Make it Monday #326: Inchie Elements challenge, Lexi Daly shared her process for recreating this look. My version uses 4th of July colors, gold military braid and gender neutral images. I raised the gold embossed arrow square with foam tape and edged the sentiment square with VersaMark ink and gold EP. It's a fun idea and terrific samples can be found on the PTI blog.
Card Supplies:
PTI Framed Out #2 and Sketched Shapes stamps
SSS Stitched Rectangle die
Hero Arts Royal Red mid-tone shadow ink
Dark Indigo Bitty Big paper
Great graphic approach to the inchies. The striped paper is a perfect backdrop to the different shapes.
