Tonight I needed to restock my masculine birthday stash ... and when I saw the new sketch at Stamplorations, I knew exactly what I was going to do ... pull out the inchies.
I liked it so much, I quickly put together two cards using the same stamps ... and same scrap of designer paper for the middle of my card.
I love how the red pops against the gray. For my second card I used a two-color palette ... I love how a slight change can produce a completely different look.
I'm also joining the Order of the Opus Glueii where they are celebrating Inchies.
loving the different colour schemes with the same stamps...the look is totally different! Fabulous job on our inchie challenge over at the opus gluei!

Love the simplicity of your design which allows the images and the papers to shine. You've sent me off on a whole new tangent!! Thanks for joining us at Opus Gluei (and thanks for motivating me in a different direction).

These are awesome, Stef! So simple, yet so effective! How come my stamping never comes out so crisp and clear like yours? You've inspired me to make some simple cards with inchie stamps now. (even tho I haven't had time to play along with you Belles - lol)
Thanks for joining us at Opus Gluei, I always love to see your creations!

Yay for you. That is a great sketch for inchies AND for a masculine card. Love the red and gray combo. Thanks for joining us at STAMPlorations.

These are marvelous cards and the use of the inchies is a great touch! They are wonderfully versatile and, as you note, a color change makes a striking difference. I especially love that pop of red against the gray. I always know I'll see something cool that you've done with our themes when your name comes up, and once again, I love what you've done with our challenge. Thank you for taking the time to inspire us over at Opus Gluei!
