Supplies
you will need:
- 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)
- Fill
your Paper
- Flourishes
(I love seeing what tools Ramona has in her tin!)

Instructions:
- 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!
