Today's mixability challenge has Lydia asking us to use 1, 2, 3 or 4 inchies or twinchies on our projects, each one DIFFERENT, and each one featuring two or more mediums. I took a few Gelli prints that I made the other day with this retirement card for a Navy friend in mind. I used a Heidi Swapp stencil with stars along with the red,white and blue paints. Because my stars were a bit too large for a true inchie, I punched them with a 1 1/4" square punch. I edged each piece with a silver Sharpie paint pen. I cut one larger twinchie and did the same. On my card base, I embossed a strip of stars then added a white panel with stripe embossing. I had picked up this chunky twine the other day and added it around this piece. (After seeing the pictures I adjusted a bit so that it is no longer over my anchor!) My banner is also edged in silver and has an embossed white sentiment. The anchor diecut is layered with dimensionals. I added a few fussy cut stars and a strip of the color mix on the inside. Congrats to Larry for 20 years of service!

This is fantastic. I love how you tied them all together with that twine. PUN intended. I love the stars and how you used silver to outline the inchies.
