altered box for back-to-school

Altered box, for a slightly steampunk, 
back-to-school pencil box:


Stamp sets used:
Architecture
Stargazer
Plus that great pencil background from Lost Coast Designs.
along with Dylusions sprays in Lemon Zest and Fresh Lime, and crayons, of course!

You can find more details and pics at my blog:  easily amused, hard to offend.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

  1. I LOVE the look of this, and the stamps images used!
    How Clever to stamp everything onto old book pages 1st, before applying to the box.
    I'm gonna have to remember to try that idea :)

    1. Thank you, Vic!

      And yes, I learned the hard way to stamp the papers FIRST!!!

    1. That pencil stamp is fantastic, it really is--it's huge, but you can cut the pencils apart and have lots of different stamped pencils. FUN.

      I'm such a heel dragger when it comes to trying new things (really, my favorite art supplies are CRAYONS, if that gives you a clue), but I like the Walnut Inks for a vintage and texturey look, and the Dylusions just because they're such vibrant colors!
