Two vine Inchies are featured in today's card, and we're using some gorgeous paper and elegant brads from Basic Grey's Marrakech collection!
To begin ink up Memory Box Vine Branch stamp with an Oregano colored ink and hit just the tips of a few branches with a Rust colored ink. Stamp onto white cardstock and punch out two Inchies using a 1" square punch.
Stamp Vine Branch image again with Archival Ink in Jet Black onto white cardstock, then ink the edges and the Inchies' edges too, using Distress Antique Linen ink pad and an Ink Blending Tool. Mat black vine image with Paprika cardstock followed by Dill. Mat Inchies with Dill cardstock then affix a few Marrakech glazed brads. Line up matted Inchies onto the black vine image and adhere using foam dimensionals.
Stamp Memory Box Just A Note sentiment onto blue Marrakech paper with Archival Jet Black ink, and cut out, notching one end.
Using a Paprika notecard base with matching envelope, adhere more of the gorgeous Marrakech patterned paper, followed by the matted Inchies and sentiment. These glazed brads add needed detail to this basic card. Add vine images with black ink to the envelope front - this image is so versatile when used this way!
Use any leftover snippets for the card interior. Stamp Vine Branch image repeatedly and randomly on the card interior using an Oregano ink, and again onto the Paprika envelope flap with an Archival Ink Jet Black ink pad. Thank you for stopping by Ellen's Inchie INKlings blog today!

What a great card. Love your choice of papers, works so well with the image. That Paprika is an amazing color. I don't know how you think up these things but am so glad you are willing to share. Have a fantastic day.
