Just Four You Inchies series #6--Repurposed Backgr

I love inchies and I wanted to create a swap for inchie lovers that would have a really different theme each time, and that would be easy to complete and light on postage. This will be a part of an ongoing series of inchie swaps...

For this swap, you will make 4 inchies for one partner, but you must use something repurposed/recycled as your background: junk mail, book pages, any sort of paper packaging or box, old letters, old bills (without personal info on them), even fabric. My latest thing I love to use is phone book pages. Treat the background any way you like--rubber stamps, ink, paint, etc--then embellish your inchie any way you like. And yes, each inchie can have a different background! You can use any other media that you like, but please send your best work--you may use stickers, but please use them artistically, and keep with the theme. I am now requiring a 5.0 rating to be able to join these swaps.

*For the purpose of this swap, repurposing means that you are using something to make something else, but still keeping the integrity of the item---we still need to see the printing on the book page so we know where it came from!

F.Y.I. An inchie is a miniature work of art. An inchie measures exactly one inch square and is made of a sturdy paper backing, or it can be made of fabric. Inchies are decorated with a variety of media, including paint, paper, drawing, collage, mixed media, rubber stamps, sewing, etc. If you think that inchies are too small to make creatively, you are wrong! There are many itty bitty things on the market that are perfect for making inchies: scrapbooking paper with small prints, thin ribbon, tiny brads, little rubber stamps, stick-on rhinestones, etc.They are totally addicting once you start!

P.S...This swap is an Type 3 because there is a craft element...
