DCM Challenge

The challenge this week from Daring Cardmakers is from Jo and it's "Christmas in June"..the weather we have been having the last few days you would think it was Winter. I love the technique that I used to make this card.....it's a take on a technique called "Inchies" because you are using 1" squares of card..in my case they were a bit small for what I wanted to do so I used 2" squares so I suppose my card should be called Two Inchies". The technique is featured this week on the Hero Arts Club Blog and there is a video presentation by my hero Shari Carroll and lots of wonderful creations for inspiration. So go check it out ..you won't be disappointed.

PS....well don't you just learn something new every day..my good friend Cass informs me that my two inchies are actually called "Twinchies" how cute is that - thanks for that Cass. To answer a question I am often asked - you cut out the 2" squares and stick them down with low tack tape onto your work mat before you stamp... it works better than stamping and then cutting, don't know why.
