Rachel over on the Bumbleberry Cafe set this fun challenge of altering a pen pot. Well I don't have a pen pot, I have a fab silver bucket with big sun face on it. However, I do have a collection of delicious Tim Holtz alcohol inks & applicator/felt pads in need of pretty homes for my desk top.
The large can was orignially a very large pineapple chunks tin!! It has been inked with Wild Plum & Stream inks. Two strips of ribbon top & bottom & then a big lilac & purple bloom (papermania) stuck on the front. The small can was spagetti hoops!! All i did with this one was to wrap a piece of my fav CherryArte classic Coffee paper around it & glue another papermania blossom on the front with a pearl button from the new red mini button packs.
Had great fun making these & if felt good to take part in something before I get too tired & fall asleep.

I love the containers. I think when my room has been fitted out I'll have to make a few things like this rather than have everything in cupboards. Good idea to use the alcohol inks direct to the tin.
How fabulous, these look fantastic, what a great idea,

Pen pots???
Don't mention those things to me - I'm churning out dozens of the things from gravy granule cartons for our fete's craft stall at work!
I dream of pen pots lately... and that's not a good thing Pixie..
Not a good thing at all!

I'd forgotten how delish that Cherry Arte paper was. I don't think I've got much left though, might have to go on a paper hunt!
