I attempted to combine the two on a page in my journal and just the technique on my August tag. Both pieces left much to be desired.
I used distress embossing powder on the tag version and now know this was a bad idea. In fact I don't really like distress embossing powders at all! I sanded down the embossing powder before I inked and painted this tag with the Geocaching logo as we are doing the 31 in 31 challenge this month.
I inked the resultant page (blue and green) to emphasise the original map which was by now sort of obliterated! Still it was a mess. I added place names of where we went. Still a mess. Then I remembered a seaside patterned paper I bought about 8yrs ago when I first started scrapping and cut out the elements to compliment our holiday. I guess the end page isn't that bad now.

I like them both, BJ, probably because I can't see the imperfections you can ... I like the effect the rubber bands make and it's such a good idea to craft with maps ... I love maps. If I was more able I'd love to get involved with geocaching, it sounds like a really fun thing to do. Elizabeth xx
Never seen this before, I shall have to try it. I agree with Elizabeth, I like both. I also like the map thing, always adds interest.
