DIRECTIONS:
Form  the stand for the game from strong cardboard, I already had corrugated cardboard in this shape which worked out perfectly for this project. 

Colour the plain brown cardboard with a seashell ink pad using the direct to paper method.  Dab the ink all over until the whole surface is covered, achieving a

metallic look.   

 

Stamp the travel collage image on white paper with Ancient Page coal black dye ink.   Colour the collage by dabbing on decorative chalks with sponge daubers.  

Edge the decorated paper with a black Sharpie and adhere to the game base with double sided sticky tape.   Glue the dart board to the base with tacky glue and decorate with beads.   Embellish the base of the game board with 2 crayons.  Glue in place with tacky glue. 

 

Place 2 medium size gold brads in the top left corner and bottom right corners.  Glue alphabet beads to mini rectangle cardstock and adhere to base using tacky glue.  Place coloured bead for decoration.  Randomly decorate with wording by K&C Company.

 

Adhere black cord trim around the outer edge of the game with tacky glue. 

 

Back of the Game Board :

Cut out black cardstock about ½ inch smaller than the game board.  Adhere using 4 mini brads - placing 1 in each corner.   Spell out the word  'Score board ' with gold peel off lettering.   Draw in the lines using a Liquid Silver – Fine Line marker.  Attach a crayon for scoring to the board with non-sticky putty that is used for fixing posters to walls.

 

Throw the magnetic darts at the board and you're ready to go!
