Funky Phone Cover Inspiration

Hi there.

Thanks for popping in again.

Last day on the island, and the sun is shining for us.

It’s been a good break for Dave and myself as a couple too;

it’s often hard to see the spot you’re standing on,

if you know what I mean.

Good to step away and take a look at where you’re actually headed. We have made some good decisions between us and I am really looking forward to getting home now.

First thing when we get back is a blimming diet!

We have been eating non stop!!

This morning I was already slowing down though.

There does come a brim-full point, doesn’t there!

Check out the phone though...

Proud of my phone cover!

Following on from yesterday’s step by steps

using the new Petite Gel press plates.

Remember the one I made on telly,

inspired by clever Andy Duggan?

Let’s have a quick recap....

This is after all supposed to be a craft blog!

And Sunday’s blog is after all, supposed to be a step by step!

Cut a piece of card to fit your phone cover.

Andy sent me a blank. You can get them cheap as chips on Amazon if you were thinking of making a present for somebody....

Lay the new wonderful petite stencils

3 Funky Island Stencils

down on top of the card, like so:

Spread green and yellow Fresco paint on the rectangular Petite plate with a brayer, and press the painty plate down on the piece of card and the stencils.

(same as we did with ink yesterday, but this time with acrylic paint)

Take a make-up sponge and rub brown and yellow Artistry inks (dye-based) over the painted strip. You will see that the ink catches in the areas where there is no paint.
