I didn't think I would get the time to enter the Paper Artsy challenge this week but I had to make a phone cover so it was a perfect opportunity to join Keren Baker in her fabric stamping.
I used the houses from the LCP012 set on top of a previously stamped harlequin motif.
I used Versafine, not realising that it wouldn't dry straight away on fabric, and as a result I got black ink everywhere! You have been warned...
The stamped fabric (recycled from an old sheet) has been first stitched together with the "wadding", in this case a piece of recycled ironing board cover, before stitching the sides together (sadly not perfectly straight). With so much recycling I am also entering the Craft-Room challenge.
Unlike the last time I tried this project, I didn't have the actual phone to hand so I couldn't check at each step if the fit was correct. If you could cross your fingers for me that it will be OK...
It looks great - hope it fits... good luck! I would cross my fingers but I need them today, sorry!
ReplyDeleteThis looks fab, I love the buildings and the harlequins!

What a great idea! I love that you re-cycled the old ironing board cover! Versafine is great for stamping detailed images; but doesn't it take an age to dry!? This looks really beautiful, though, so it was worth the ink going everywhere! Julie Ann xxx
ReplyDeleteFabulous phone cover! I love this and good idea xx
ReplyDeleteWow- this is beautiful! Well worth the trouble ( even if it was messy). Love the background colour that makes the image pop!
ReplyDeletewhat an excellent idea - I couldn't think what to make at all xx
ReplyDeleteVersacraft or Archival inks, heat set immediately then you will be good to go, no smudging etc...
ReplyDeleteAm in awe of your cover & stamping, the colours go so well together and the images create a vintage look.
Well done and fingers crossed! :-) xxx

ReplyDeleteWow, love the combination of those 2 stamped images and the colours are great.
