A Tin for Your Tools

Supplies:
- empty tin
- paper for the background (I used canson mi-teintes in orange)
- paper for stamping (I used some hahnenmühle ingres paper beige, because that's what I had in stock)
- sponge
- inkpads in 3 different shades (mine were memories black and brown, StazOn Mustard)
- Quietfire Design stamp: Fill your Paper
- Quietfire Design stamp: Flourishes
- Measure the tin in height and in circumference and cut the strip of background paper.
- Glue it around the tin. The stamped paper will be slightly smaller in height. I didn't cut it but tore it along a ruler to get an uneven border.
- Sponge the paper with the lightest of your 3 colours (I recommend using only shades of one colour. No extreme contrasts). In my case I sponged the paper with StazOn Mustard, on some places of the paper more, on some parts less.
- Stamp some larger flourishes on the paper with the lightest colour, too.
- Next step is to stamp some flourishes with the next colour (in my case memories brown). Make sure to leave some space for the quote.
- If you are done with the background, take the darkest of your inkpads (I had memories black) and stamp the quote on the space you left for it.
- Now glue the stamped paper around the already prepared tin and when dry, embellish like you want. I just glued a picture of a blue butterfly on the tin. The butterfly gives a great eyecatcher and the blue is a nice contrast to the monochromatic flair of the tin.
- Now you can start to put your favourite art tools in your new holder. Enjoy!
