Supply List

Project 1 Vintage Suitcase

Paint was White Swan

Paint Inlay Rose Chintz

Sealed with Clear Wax

Brayer

Brushes I use Set of 5

Spray Bottle with 50/50 Water to Liquid Patina....You want to spray a light coat first and then seal as usual.....If you use a brush it will smear the paint

For the inside you can use fabric and any lace you have to make it uniquely you!

I added White Wax to give it interest
