February Tag for the Tags of 2014 Tim Holtz Challenge

Here's my take on this month's tag from Tim Holtz. I used the same techniques but with different colours and materials. I wanted my "chalkboard" effect to look a little more otherworldly to match my theme, so used white Perfect Pearls on embossing ink to achieve this result. I diecut papers from Tim's "Lost and Found" pad to make the lacy trim and arrow, and stamped the map onto some seam binding stained with Barn Door distress ink. The arrow is meant to be pointing to the Ranger factory, which is somewhere I'd love to visit one day.

 

"The Journey..."

The stencil for the background "spiky planets" is made by diecutting gadget gears into acetate. Each planet uses three shades of a colour to get the 3d look, and I used the same technique on the globe before covering with distress glitter.
