Hello Friends
Firstly, I apologise if I have not visited you over the last week, I have not had much internet time and had a couple of days away, I will try to catch up soon.
My Guest Designer project for AALL & Create this week uses Bipasha BK's Phonebooth Elements stamp set (#237) and the Numbers stencil (#30) by Autour de Mwa and I created a cover for a plain address/phone book.
I started by cutting a piece of cotton fabric a few inches larger than the address book (a cheap purchase from a local stationers). I dampened the fabric well and then used good quality fabric paint to colour the whole piece.
I stamped the post box first, masked it off and then stamped the phone box over the top as I wanted the phonebox to be in the background. I used Versacraft pigment ink for my stamping.
I painted the elements and left this overnight to dry.
I wanted to add some texture to the cover and I used the Numbers stencil by Autour de Mwa and the same colour of paint.
I wanted the cover to be removable and stitched it as shown below. It fits beautifully over the plain book and is not too bulky.
Here is a view of the finished back.
You can find a list of worldwide stockists HERE on the AALL & Create website.
Thanks so much for your visit, I really appreciate it, I hope to see you again soon.
Hugs, Anne xx
