Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge #24 - Remnant Rub Resist

Hi everyone!  It's time for Compendium of Curiosities III Challenge #24!  Linda Ledbetter is hosting this CC3 Challenge over on her blog Studio L3.  All the tips and techniques for this challenge is found on page 51 of Tim Holtz's Compendium of Curiosities Volume Three book.  If you don't have this great book you can find it here and Tim Holtz will even sign it for you!  This challenge is sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique who have a wonderful $25 gift voucher to give away to one lucky winner. Also, the Curiosity Crew Pick wins a fabulous pack of goodies from Tim and Mario!  I just want to take a moment and thank everyone involved in this great CC3C journey from start to finish!  Tim and Mario have been so generous with all the wonderful goodies they've donated for prizes!  The great sponsors for their outstanding store vouchers!  To all the fabulous ladies that make up the Curiosity Crew that have devoted their time, knowledge and talents in giving us so much inspiration with each new challenge!  Last but certainly not least, to Tim for all the incredible techniques and tips you have come up with and wrapped so wonderfully in this book we call "Compendium of Curiosities III"!  You are ALL greatly appreciated!  It has been so much fun playing along (even if I've missed a few here or there)! {just thought it needed said} {big smile}  Now, here is my take on this fun Remnant Rub Resist Challenge!  I made a tag with a masculine twist.
Now, I can't give away Tim's great challenge techniques but I can tell you all the other details about my tag!  I started out with a plain #8 manila tag.  I worked Tim's Remnant Rub Resist magic for the background.  The colors that I used were Cracked Pistachio, Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans and Picket Fence Distress Spray Stains.  On the left side of the tag I stamped the map from Tim's new Documented stamp set with Jet Black Archival ink.
 I took a scrap piece of manila cardstock and added some Vintage Photo Distress Spray Stain, a little water and dried with a heat tool.  I stamped the small plane with Jet Black Archival ink, then cut out.
The picture is from Tim's new Idea-ology Photobooth strips.  You get 30 strips to a pack and each strip has 3 different images...that is 90 images to play with!!!  
I distressed all the metal idea-ology and mirrored stars with a little Cracked Pistachio Distress Paint and Adirondack Mushroom Alcohol Ink.  I fully blame Paula over at One Lucky Day for wanting to throw Mushroom Alcohol Ink on just about everything now...I can't seem to stop myself!  Don't worry Paula, it's a very, very good thing thanks! {smile}&{wink}
 I attached the #2 with foam squares and the mirrored stars with glossy accents to the bottom left corner of the tag.  The gear, spinners and long fastener was attached to the center of the compass on the top right side of tag.
 I filled one of the small vials with real sand (I had a little on hand), you could also use Distress Glitter.  Then attached a remnant rub using Tim's new Remnant Rub Tool to the front of the vial.  I also attached a Tiny Star to Tiny Vial after distressing.  I just cut the brad feet off and glued to the front of vial.  I used a little Glossy Accents to glue it to my tag.
I distressed the tag, photo and plane with a bone folder.  I attach the plane and photo with foam squares and typed token with Glossy Accents.  To finish it off I added some Linen Ribbon, Airmail Paper String and a Loop Pin to the top of my tag.
Remember to enter your "Spring Blooms" themed projects over at Inspiration Journal and one lucky winner will be given a very generous $50 gift credit, to spend at Inspiration Emporium.  You can find most of the supplies I used at Inspiration Emporium via the links below.  Remember to use my coupon code - vintagemuse - to save 10% on your order.  That wraps it up for me, I hope you enjoyed my Remnant Rub Resist tag!   If you have any questions or if there's anything I missed please let me know I love your comments, I appreciate each and everyone of them!  As always thanks for stopping by and I'll see you next time!

  5. Hi Bobbi. Your tag is awesome. I love your Navy theme. The blended colors for your background are perfect to simulate water. The Ideaology compass, the stamps, the cool airplane and the wonderful found relatives photograph all work together perfectly. Great job on the Remnant Rub Resist technique!
