Fabulous Flamingo Phone Case

By
Wow - what happened to September, where did it go??? Time is moving so fast and I seem to have done so little!
I am having treatment for my fibromyalgia - I have to go to the gym twice a week and surprisingly I am finding that I quite enjoy it - it's not as good as swimming which I LOVE but I am enjoying it!

I have managed to grab a little time for crafting and today I have a tutorial for you on how I personalised my phone case - take a look



I started with a clear plastic case which fitted my phone - bought mine in a shop in Hereford High Street but take a look on line as I'm sure they are available there too.


Draw around the case cut it out and then place inside the case to check the fit. At the same time mark the holes for the camera etc and cut those out too.


I was creating a sea scene on mine so I masked off the area for the sky first using post it notes. The sky was sponged with a pale blue ink - Soft Sky.


 After that the sea and beach were added using Pool Party and Crumb Cake.


Next I added my Flamingo using Flirty Flamingo ink!


The next layer was added using Blushing Bride.


 The feather details were stamping in Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.


Grass and leaves were added with Old Olive and Always Artichoke ink. I also sponged around the edges with Crumb Cake and Early Espresso ink.

This is the finished case - a fun and fab personalised creation - I hope you give it a go.
Thanks for stopping by - see you soon - J xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making. Moving on This is where I usualy do all my 'messy' crafting hence all the Distress Inks and paints. However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
