Penny's Inchie Challenge (second post today-egads!)

I think I've done one other inchie card in my whole card-making career. Penny's challenge this week inspired me to try my hand at these little bitties again. It was a little work, but fun! I wanted the main inchie (the flower) to be finished using the cracked glass technique, but alas, Liquid Glass does horrible things to the Cranberry ink. Here's the finished card...

I changed the rotation of the card at the last minute, so really I should have spaced the stripes a little differently, but I'm okay with it...

Details: all CTMH unless noted

Paper: Moon Doggie B&T, colonial white cs

Ink: desert sand, cranberry, honey, garden green

Stamps: Extreme Happiness, It's Your Day

Other: antique copper bitty brads, sponge dauber, deckle edge punch (MarvyUchida)

OK what did you do with the real Mere???...
LOVE this inchie..that little flower is perfect.
I do that ALL the time..flip the card the other way and then back again.....and so on...that's why it takes me so long to finish a card..sigh
