NOW, WHERE DID I PUT MY.......

Phone?  If you are anything like me, you put things down only to promptly forget where you put it!!  This weeks Just Add Ink challenge (JAI5) was to "Just add Dimension".  I added dimension all right!  I made a cell phone holder!!  Now if I can just remember where I put it.....................

I had a definite plan in my head when I came up with this design.  I want to use "text talk" and I also wanted the "hangy offy" bits that the kids like on their cell phones these days!  I had to make the "hangy offy" bit myself because I don't have one myself!  I used DMC silk and some large clear pink beads.  I made a tassel, then threaded the beads into that before attaching to the card.  I went digital for the wording and used my computer.  I printed off they sayings on Vary Vanilla card stock, then grunged things up a bit.  Using my Cutter Kit, I then destressed the edges of my card stock before adhering to the base card.  I then added half pearls for a bit of "Bling".  I am really pleased with how this turned out.

I would love to hear what you think, so please leave a comment when you are done visiting!!

Thank you all for your lovely comments. I guess I will have to shake a tail feather and write a tutorial on this project after all! I haven't done one before and don't have any notes written up on this, so give me a bit of time and check back now and then to see when I post it.
