box of chocolates... for stains

Hey all!
Well, this time you really must have thought me MIA... I still need a lot of rest, but i did manage some scrapping. And to make it up to you all (and as promised in my previous post) i have a surprise for you!
But first: as Lord Tim of Holtz is proposing all those delicious new stain colors, i thought it time to make some storage for the first 12 ones. I made a little box that really looks like a box of chocolates (yummi! ) for stains.

Coucou tout le monde!
Bon, cette fois, c'est sûr vous avez dû me croire portée disparue... J'ai toujours besoin de beaucoup de repos, mais j'ai réussi à scrapper un petit peu. Alors pour me faire pardonner (et comme promis dans mon message précédent) j'ai une surprise pour vous.
Mais d'abord ceci: puisque Seigneur Tim of Holtz nous propose toutes ces délicieuses nouvelles couleurs de stain, je me suis dit qu'il était temps de faire un rangement pour les 12 premières couleurs. J'ai fait une petite boîte qui ressemble à une boîte à pralines ( miam!) pour stain.


As usual, i started with 1/16 inch cardboard, glued it together and reinforced the edges with gummed kraft (big thanks to our national popo aka Lalaith for making me at peace again with gommed kraft!) . I covered the box with Lord Tim's kraft resist colorised with wild honey stain (of course).

Comme d'habitude, j'ai démarré avec du carton 2 mm, que j'ai collé ensemble et dont j'ai renforcé les bords avec du kraft gommé (grand merci à notre popo dite Lalaith nationale de m'avoir réconciliée avec le kraft gommé!). J'ai recouvert la boîte de kraft résist de Seigneur Tim colorisé au wild honey stain (bien sûr).
All stamps and embellishements are Lord Tim's stuff: grungeblock, grungeboard cut with movers and shapers, idea-ology, colorised using mostly stains (wild honey, peeled paint, forest moss, dusty concord), some dabber (black, gold, copper), some alcohol ink (ginger, caramel) and i bit of distress ink (walnut stain, dusty concord, wild honey).

Tous les tampons et embellissements sont de Seigneur Tim: grungeblock, grungeboard coupé avec des movers and shapers, idea-ology, colorisé principalement avec des stains (wild honey, peeled paint, forest moss, dusty concord), un peu de dabber (black, gold, copper), un peu d'encre à alcool (ginger, caramel) et un tout petit peu d'encre distress (walnut stain, dusty concord, wild honey).


I used a  rubber band to keep the box closed, on the back i fixed it between two washers with a long fastener.

J'ai utilisé un élastique pour garder la boîte fermée, à l'arrière je l'ai attaché entre deux washers avec un long fastener.


I told you last time i wanted to thank you all for the (now) 104 members and 100 subscriptions to my newsletter!! I came up with this: how about the opportunity of winning one of those box of chocolates for your stains? All you have to do is leave a comment! The winner will be picked using the 'true random number generator', as every comment is numbered. So, go for it and let me know you came by! Good luck! 


Je vous avait dit la dernière fois que je voulais vous remercier pour les (maintenant) 104 membres et 100 inscriptions à ma newsletter!! Voici mon idée: que diriez-vous de la possibilité de gagner une des ces boîtes à pralines pour vos stains? Tout ce que vous avez à faire c'est laisser un commentaire! Le gagnant sera tiré au sort en utilisant le programme 'true random number generator', puisque chaque commentaire est numéroté. Alors, tentez votre chance et faites-moi savoir que vous êtes passé par ici! Bonne chance!


PS: the how to and dimensions for this box will be up in a couple of days.

PS: je posterai le pas à pas et les dimensions pour cette boîte dans quelques jours.
