Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing with you a great idea for
kids and adults – a Scavenger hunt! These are so fun with a
group of people! I'll be using products from
I first composed my images in the computer. I did this several times.
I sized them and rough cut them out of copy paper to make sure
they would fit in each spot. I probably did this a total of 3 times
before I got it right.
I knew I was going to keep the coloring fairly neutral. But I did add
the blue coat and the red accents to liven it up.
The patterned paper that I used was actually a coffee stain design pad
of paper. I really liked how well it worked. I die cut the base with
a postage die from some brown paper. I didn’t think it was quite
the right shade so I ink blended it with Vintage Photo and then
Walnut Stain Distress Inks. The squares in the dies have a
stitched detail within each section. I die cut the patterned paper
and trimmed along those stitched lines for a perfect fit! I inked
the edges of those pieces with the Walnut Stain before adhering them.
I was pleased as to how this came out. I think the colors went
together well and had the right vibe.
I colored the rest of my elements and fussy cut them. I also went
around the edges with the Walnut Stain ink. I decided to go with
the tag that went with this set and scrawled out an invitation with
a blue acrylic pen. I punched a hole in the top of the tag and threaded
some red twine through it. I cut off the twine that was drawn on the tag so I
could use real twine! All of my elements are popped up on foam tape.
I used a kraft card base to finish off this cute invitation. This was not hard to
create and was a lot of fun working with the different elements. I added
Glossy Accents to the magnifying glass and the dog’s nose and a few
highlights with a white gel pen. If you try this idea we would love to see
it! Tag us on social media! You can find this digital stamp set and
