Collaboration with Inchie Arts: Day 1
This week we are thrilled to be collaborating with Inchie Arts featuring their awesome Art Squares! What are Art Squares, you ask? They are the perfect surface for stamping and coloring. Art Squares are made from the highest quality, artist grade, precision cut matboard. The material is unique because it behaves like watercolor paper, enabling papercrafters to use a variety of both wet and dry coloring mediums (including paints, inks, stains, markers, colored pencils, etc.) without surface deterioration. Check out all of the sizes and colors of Art Squares on the Inchie Arts website.
Cathy is stamping on a black 2” Art Square today, using the leaves from our transparent set, 30-251 Nature’s Gifts.
She’s layered bright embossing enamels and heat set them, creating a bold contrast against the black Art Square.
As a variation, the Art Square can be mounted to white cardstock for a clean and simple look.
Because Art Squares are strong enough to handle lots of mediums, Cathy also added a layer of Ice Resin, giving her featured design a glossy shine!

Gorgeous colors and form. Inchies inspire, as do PB stamps.
Beautiful designs. I wasn’t quite sure what the inchies were, but love the idea that they can be painted on and used in many ways. Looking forward to this week.
Simply stunning. Love this idea with the ice resin (I have some, never used it!). The ice resin enamel colors are a new product to me, as the product I have is clear. This created an awesome look over the black & orange and is just fantastic. TFS such a marvelous design idea.
Wow! Those are cool. So many options to work with.
