Pencil Case

We have a beat up blue MTV tin pencil case.
(beat up - as in literally. my baby boy banged it several times on a lot of hard surface... according to witnesses)

My Daughter, now in kinder 2, needs pencil cases for her English and Chinese class.
when she saw the pencil case, she does not want to use it.
She was all crying and making up excuses why its not a good pencil case and why she can not use it.

me, being stingy and a scrapbooker, got an idea... hmmm(Time to play).
I ask my daughter "if mommy turn the blue pencil case into a pink one with cracks design, will you use it"
She smiled and nod yes... even offered to help. hehehehehe...(i said ok but nah, I'll let her paint on the side but not on the pencil case)

here is the pencil case now. I was not able to take a photo of it before i altered it. i guess i was too excited





I sand it first.
Applied Gesso.
Painted with MM Specialty Glaze - Ruby for base color.
Applied Semco Crackle medium.
Painted MM blush on top. (i love this blush pink color.)
Stamped on it using inque boutique's see d's "the princess" stamp set (inked with mm paints).
rub on 2 flower and a bird painted them with twinkling H2O.

My Daughter likes it and promised to use it. hehehehe.

i did not add dimensions to it like chip boards or ribbons.
rough handling might peel off the chipboard and ribbons... paints. i can always re paint it. hehehehehe.
