Most of you who visit here regularly know how much I love my Inchie Arts products and today we want to show you how well they work with JustRite stamps! This week's JustRite Friday Challenge #042 is to use this sketch, perfect for JustRite's 2-inch square stamps (or any stamp shape you'd like to make into a square shape!
Inchie Arts offers three different sizes of the highest quality artist grade matteboard squares: 1” (Inchie), 1-1/2” (Inchie +) and 2” (Twinchie). All of their products are fade resistant, acid free, lignin free and solid core color through and through. The material is designed to receive whatever art medium (wet or dry) you use in your coloring and embellishments -- from stamping to watercolors, chalks, inks, pens, markers, stains and more. They are available in black, dark gray, light gray, wheat, dark cream, ivory and white; as individual packages or assortment packs.
My project today uses the bell image from JustRite's small oval set, Christmas Joy -- remember, you don't have to stick to just square images when using Inchie Arts squares!
I stamped the bells with Memento Tuxedo Black ink directly on an ivory Inchie + square and colored it with these Copic markers:
The bells were highlighted with Clear Copic Atyou Spica Glitter Pen, the berries with Red Glitter Pen and the bell clappers were colored with Silver Gitter Pen. Hopefully you can see all that pretty sparkle in this close-up (click on the image for a larger view):
To finish the image, I punched a hole in the Inchie + square easily with a small diamatered hand-held hole punch, then tied silver cord through and around the square. You can create any custom color of Inchie products you need, simply by giving them a quick swipe of color from a coordinating Copic marker!
No need to color the whole square, if only a portion of it will show. Be sure to color the edges, too, for a professional finish! I cut a scalloped piece of coordinating paper and taped it to the top of my red colored Twincie.
