Autumn Inchies

The challenge this week for Make My Monday autumn month is 'inchies' - not something I would normally do but if a challenge doesn't take you out of the comfort zone then I suppose it isn't really a challenge is it??  I stamped various trees and grasses onto a piece of ivory card and sponged with spiced marmalade Distress ink.  I then cut out some inch squares, sponged these too and stamped a variety of flora and fauna images using  small stamps from various Chocolate Baroque sets  (I forgot to mention that flora and fauna was also part of the theme this week).  These squares were then arranged and re-arranged until I liked the effect and a saying was added.  I do really enjoy these challenges and if you've not tried them why not have a go?

    This is super Val - I love your arrangement of the inchies & the luminescence of your background with the sponging mirrored by each little square too.

    Brilliant card Val - love the colours and, of course, the stamps you've used. I looked at this challenge but don't think I've got enough time at the moment to do it.
