I've cut part of the grid from this one so that I could make it into a square card. The stamps used are from Art Neko - I embossed the images with black EP., then edged the inchies with a gold Krylon pen. The background paper is from the SEI "Poppy" 6 x 6" paper stack pad.
I left the grid in it's original size for this one, but there is an extra row which doesn't fit in with the inchies, so I covered that row with the wide ribbon. For the ichies I've used a piece of gold glossy cardstock and randomly glued bits of washi paper to it, then randomly stamped and embossed some oriental images. I then cut the piece into inchies and mixed them up before adhering to the grid. Underneath the wide ribbon I've added some narrow spotted ribbon, and under that row is a strip of gold German scrap.
Thanks again Sandra for sending me the grids..........I hope you like what I've done with them.
FYI: If you aren't sure what an "Inchie" is, it's a 1" x 1" piece of art. The size might be a bit daunting to start with, but they are quick and easy to make. As you can see by my 2nd card, you can use just part of a stamp to fit on the small canvas.

I love the cards Lyn. The second one is my favorite. They are both really attractive.
o.k. so now I've got it. I also was a gracious recipient of grids from Sandra G. I see you just paste the grid over patterned paper ... and THEN fill in with the inchies! So effective isn't it? Both your projects are beautiful Lyn; thanks for sharing; and thanks again Sandra.
Great way to use those laser-cut templates, they do look very effective. Cheers from V
