Description:

I recently recieved some lovely inchies from BDooBs which were made in the serendipity style. I have never used this technique before but they looked great, so of course I want to try!

Here is a LINK to describe the technique.

Making inchies in this style will be great for using up our small scraps of paper.

For this swap you will have TWO partners and you will make them FOUR serendipity styled inchies each.

If people enjoy this swap I will consider doing a colour series of them - just let me know!

Each inchie must be 1" x 1" in size and sturdy when complete. Use thick card, back of a cereal box, or chipboard etc to ensure its sturdy.

Think lots of layers, perhaps some stamping or embossing to create a super set of serendipity inchies!


SIGN UP RULES - please read before joining.

•By joining the swap, you agree to making quality inchies which will be posted on time. Non senders will be banned from future swaps, and dropped from the group.

•I reserve the right to ban anyone from the swap if I feel they will not be able to fulfil the swap.

•No flakers! If you see a known flaker sign up, please let me know and I will contact them. I'd rather lose a flaker than a bunch of good swappers.

•Note this is an International Swap - you may get an overseas partner!

•Finally - everyone should have fun! If you are having any problems completing the swap please email me and your partners BEFORE the mail by date, so we can resolve any issues.

After I make my serendipity backgrounds, I am planning on going ahead and embellishing each inchie like I normally would (collage, etc.) - is this the correct way to do this swap? Or, am I supposed to stop once I cut 1" squares from my serendipity background? Thanks!

Please feel free to embellish! Just so long as we can see some of the background :)

Yay for inchies!

LauraAust 07/ 4/2010 #

Got it! I have my serendipity backgrounds done - now I just need to embellish them! Thanks!

Well, I'm all done! I'm lovin' the way they turned out. I love this technique!

I want to see what you come up with real bad Mhairi! Please keep me posted somehow if / when you take pics of them!
