This weeks ACC challenge is to create a birthday invite that is not in the traditional card form. This treasure map invite is for my son's upcoming birthday.
The map is a digital image printed on vellum. I then carefully used a candle and burnt all the edges. After that, I used the candle to make the back look all black and sooty by carefully waving the map over the flame, similar to the technique for soot stamping. My daughter created a really fun rhyme to go with the map and then the map will be rolled up and tied with twine for hand delivery.
If you would like to see some of my other creations, I would love a visit at: www.lauraoshea.typepad.com
