The answer is: an Inchie Index! The question is: What do I use to keep track of all my inchies I have made or received?
Inchie Index is available in Ellen's store - $8.99 - contains 150 printed sheets to catalog your inchies neatly. Here's how I decorated mine: 7gypsies checkerboard knob, a bit of black elastic from the fabric store. Covered the front panel with script paper, mounted knob and adhered elastic to inside back cover.
Using Lockhart's Foxglove image, I stamped it once then cut it out, then stamped again onto a White Inchie Square. Inchie Squares are premium matboard - archival and museum quality. Premium and quality for speed and maximum blendability with any medium.
I airbrushed the inchie square using BV31 lavender Copic marker to add shadowing.
Drawing inspiration from my MacKenzie-Childs magazines, the vase was drawn into a checkerboard to mimic the knob using a Copic black Multiliner, and I created the foxglove image into something whimsical. I love that word... then colored the foxgloves in shades of grey, opting to color the inchie in full color.
A Basic Grey magnet set holds the colored Inchie Square into place. It's fun to pluck it off then toss it back at the image and see it snap into place - it made my young daughter go
!
