The 7th challenge of the new Compendium of Curiosities 3 is up. If you haven’t already, you can order a signed copy directly from Tim Holtz. As if the book, the challenge and getting inky wasn’t fun enough, Inspiration Emporium, The Funkie Junkie Boutique and Tim and Mario have very generously donated prizes! Linda Ledbetter has also put together the Curiosity Crew, a talented group of ladies who will be inspiring us each challenge with their creations from the book.
Challenge 7 is the Painted Industrial technique, (see the book for technique instructions).
I created a background using distress paint, stain and inks. Once dry, I stamped with the map stamp from the warehouse set.
Using an oval movers and shapers die, I die cut a hole in the tag and mounted the map background to the back.
Using a technique Tim shared with us from July’s tag, I cut another oval, this time from shrink plastic. I embossed the oval using a cloud embossing folder and then painted the clouds on the underside using picket fence distress paint.
Once dry I mounted the oval into the space, attached with a tiny attacher and stuck the stamped plane over the top to hide the staples.
I used the new Framelits Here and There set to stamp and die cut the arrow and put remnant rubs over the top.
I cut gears from grungeboard using an on the edge die. I sanded and inked the gears, covered with a little distress embossing powder and dried before attaching to the side of the tag.
Thanks for taking time to look at my tag and don’t forget to hop over to Studio L3 to check out challenge 7, which Inspiration Emporium are generously sponsoring with a $50 gift certificate to the lucky winner! So what are you waiting for!
