It seems that stamping has another craze and it's called inchies. Using the most loose definition, inchies are 1" x 1" pieces of art, sometimes 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". This would be like the definition of ATCs; solely according to size. I've also seen slightly more criteria added, however--that the inchie should include a background, a main element, and some text.
I decided to give this a try. I have plenty of scraps that fit the bill. Finding stamps and other elements for that size 'canvas' was tougher. I found some Hero Arts stamps that worked quite nicely.
All of the stamps were Hero Arts, stamped with Marvy Blending Blox inks and Archival black ink.
It was a challenge to work this small. I kept a theme for this group of inchies. I can't see collecting them, but I can see using them on cardfronts or on other projects. Fun way to use up those inevitable scraps!
Welcome to Indigo Inklings. This is where I talk about some of my rubber stamping projects and digital graphics. My blog name comes from the fact that I love the color indigo, and I think the notion of inklings covers my introspective side as well as my love for getting inky with my projects. I hope you find something here to interest or inspire you.

Welcome to the world of wee tiny. Nice squares. Don't you love the challenge. I keep looking at magazines and catalogues for print and images that would work. Saved some miniature Hershey bar wrappers.
