Collaboration with Inchie Arts: Day 2
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.
Jill’s project started as a white 4” Art Square which she stamped with our brushstroke stamp, 30-263 Lush and Lavish.
With the camera rolling, layers upon layers of wet watercolors were added to the Art Square along with pastel pencils and colored pencils.
