Not a card but a picture today, made from a collage of stamping, stippling, watercolouring, masking, distressing, stitching, the lot!

I honestly thought I would never get into Inchies – pieces of art that are only an inch by an inch square – but then I did a card with some almost inchies on it and I was hooked. But guess what? There is an inchies challenge blog, well that is it really – I've just added inchies to my ever growing…
I have just discovered walnut stain distress ink from Tim Holtz and I LOVE it! Wow, it is just fab to use to distress papers.
