Anything But A Card......


Hiya peeps,

Todays make is all about
"Anything But A Card"
so, I made a pen pot/tub, call it what you will.

My pen pot was made using an empty instant potato tub,
the one thats mainly red, but you can use empty,
clean tin(s)/tub(s) of any size. I have used empty
milkshake tubs and mushy peas tins before now just
to name two. As I said, make sure its clean,
free of any sharp edges and most of all, dry.
Add your favourite paper(s) using ultra strong double
sided tape so it stays stuck down straight away.
Then, just add your favourite embellishments and
coloured image or just more sparkle & shine, but,
you dont have to have a centerpiece like I have.
Decorate your blank canvas as you see fit!!

The image I have used is a digital image from
and this image is called
of which I coloured with my favourite colouring pencils. I use pencil crayons as they give me more control over what
I am colouring rather than all the alcohol markers I own.

All other items used in this make are from my own stash

I am entering this make in to the following challenges:
