Paperartsy inspired - pencil case

Earlier this week, Michelle shared an altered papier mache pencil box (available from Paperartsy) and by chance I had one of these for Christmas (thanks Lynne!)

So tonight, after some gentle coaxing on twitter, I decided to have a go... Check out how other crafters have been inspired this week, here 

Michelle used different colours inside and out of hers, but I went for a mix of purples - Eggplant (fast becoming my new favourite...!) Moonlight, and Pansy. I didn't use much Pansy on the inside.

Once the paint was dry, I sanded the outside lightly.

 This is before I added a little Pansy to the inside.

When I eventually found the drawer containing my Brilliance inkpads, I used Lightning Black and the lines stamp from HPXT01 that Michelle used, stamping it randomly on the outside and inside lid of the case.  Heat set it to dry.

Then I took the swirl stamp (a free cover stamp from the Craft Stamper some time ago) and stamped it using Seedless Preserves distress ink. I blotted it lightly with a paper towel and found it then heat set quite successfully.

Entering this to the Paperartsy 'inspired by' challenge again.
