Discover tag

Another word from the set is done.  The world is a place to discover talent, friends, languages, food, art, you name it!  Having had the opportunity to do some traveling, I still crave it.  Choosing a place, packing, planing the route, think of all the wonderful things to do... and we realize the journey already started.

After gluing a map over the base tag, used cut and dry foam to ink edges with Tea Dye and very little Vintage Photo.  Stamped and embossed the 1/2 world with garnet powder.  Masked and stamped all the postoids I own!  Then took the cancellation stamp (wavy lines) and stamped it toward the bottom of the tag with bright red.
Separately, stamped 'discover' on a piece of the map with Timber (Stazon), trimmed and then glued to the bottom of the tag.  Using Tim Holtz ticket dies and a strip of camel 'foamie' sheet, I got a good  base for the ticket stamp (Tim Holtz) with Archival ink.  Stamped 'YOU!' on it, trimmed around and glued to the tag.  Then I stamped the cancellation mark on the ticket matching the original one on the tag.  To complete the look, I attached a flower dangle to a mini compass and threaded through the string on the tag.
