A pot for my blending brushes

 

Hi There! I have been meaning to make a pot for my blending brushes, so, as the theme on the Bee Crafty Facebook challenge is to make something for yourself, I decided to have a go. 

Here is what I did:

I used a can from some pineapple slices that had a ring pull, so to make it safe, I squeezed the top edge with pliers to remove the sharp edge.

I measured the depth of the can and cut a piece of 180gsm Kraft card to fit with a small overlap (8.5cm x 29cm)

I used spots of shimmer paint to cover the card in vertical stripes, blending the colours together at the edges.

Once this was dry I wiped it with an anti static cloth, then stamped a selection of flowers in versamark, before heat embossing with fine detail white powder.

I then stamped a selection of the arrows, question marks and exclamation marks using black archival in the spaces.

I added a few highlights and a scribbled border using both gelly roll and posca white pens.

To attach the card to the can, I used double sided tape to attach it to the tin. I then used both tape and glue to secure the end of the band. 

I used:

A can from some pineapple slices

1 A4 sheet of 180gsm kraft card

Dylusions shimmer paint in Crushed Grape, Bubblegum Pink, Pure Sunshine, Polished Jade and Calypso Teal

Jane's Just Bloom stamp set

Jane's flowers and leaves can be found as a part of this bundle

Fine Detail white embossing powder

Versamark ink

White gelly roll and posca pens

Here are a couple of views of the pot from different sides, which really don't do justice to the shimmery paints!
