When I saw the layout at Sketch Frenzy Friday, I knew it would be perfect to play with some of my neglected inchie stamps.
I pulled out my Dog's Life Inchies from Inkadinkado and decided to create with a monochromatic brown palette for this week's CASology Challenge.
The card came together quickly using scraps from my stash.
When I got ready to post my card, I realized there was a problem ... Sketch Frenzy Friday is a Stampin' Up only challenge blog. Since my Stampin' Up stamps have also been neglected, I decided to see if I could create a second card using their images.
The images from Hello Sailor were small enough to work in an inchie-like design (my squares are actually 1 3/8" in this card). This time I went with monochromatic blue in keeping with a nautical theme.
I should really challenge myself to do this more often to build my stash quicker ... it was fun using the same theme and design with different images.
Really like that kraft take on monochrome. Those images pack a punch. Glad you joined CASology this week.

I love both of your cards! That's a great idea - to use the same design with different stamps. All my stamps get inked; same design and monochromatic make it easy to replicate. Thanks for joining us at Sketch Frenzy Friday!

These are both fantastic cards. Love that they look like frames on a shelf. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
