Altered Eyeglass Case

I used some Tattered Angels goodness to alter this little wooden eyeglass case I got at the craft store.

The flap part of the case absorbed glimmer mist very well, but the rest of the case was a different type of wood and wasn't absorbing the mist very well and I wasn't getting the dark brown color I wanted. This situation ended being a perfect example to showcase the difference between Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Glaze. I remembered I had a dark brown Glimmer Glaze (Cowboy), so I applied one coat of the Glaze with a paintbrush to the case. The thicker consistency of the Glaze compared to the Mist worked perfectly and I got the lovely dark brown shimmer I was looking for. Then I just added a few embellishments including the adorable chipboard owl from the Nature Glimmer Chip set.

Thanks for looking! Patty
