Arrrgh! Decorate a wooden chest for the little matey in your life.

Go over lines to blend them with Fantastix brush. Add a little VersaMagic in Midnight Black and blend the color out again. Heat set as you go to make sure the color won’t rub off.

Outline and add detail to the skull face and cross bones with Memento Marker.
Create rivets along the top and front of pirate chest using a piece of paper with a hole punched in it as a stencil. Using a brush tip Fantastix brush, fill in stencil with VersaMagic in Mango Madness.
Use the Memento Marker to outline the rivets.
