If you have a complaint - a mixed media Tim Holtz canvas

There is a new challenge at StampARTic . This time, the challenge is something old or reused. I have reused an old button, a cardboard box, an old lace and old computer parts.

I used a Tim Holtz canvas (Idea-Ology District Market Printed Burlap Panel - Alphabetical). This was rather dark, so I painted it with gesso and distress paint. The paper is from Prima lifetime (familia)

The ruler is from Prima. The mouse trap is an ordinary mouse trap from a hardware store. These are both coloured with alcohol ink. I have also distressed the mouse trap with distress embossing powder.  

The words are cut outs from the paper lifetime (familia) from Prima

 Some of the text has been cut out on a silhouette, other parts has been written and printed out from a PC. The hand is a digital freebie from The graphic fairy. The red button is an old red button.

In between the flowers, I have used some old parts from a computer. The tree is a Tim Holtz dies, cut in an old cardboard box, painted black and embossed with distress embossing powder - pine needles,  shabby shutters and fried burlap. The flowers are from Prima and roses are from Kort og godt

Some of the gears are made by cutting in cork with a Tim Holtz gear dies.
