My Cup Runneth Over: Bingo

Today was another one of those "dangerous days" for me where I had entirely too much time on my hands. So after I tied up some loose ends, did laundry, and all that good stuff; rather than eat ice cream, I decided that I would go to my craft room and get creative. For some strange reason, I've been wanting to use a Bingo card lately; so I decided that no matter what I made I would somehow work it in to my project. The Bingo card I used is from October Afternoon as are the patterned papers. I also added a white doily, and a Crate Paper chipboard frame that I tied some baker's twine around and tied into a bow. Then, I added two layered felt hearts to the center of the frame that I cut using a Papertrey Ink Heart Prints die-cut set and wool felt from Taylored Expressions in Red Hot and Aqua Mist. For the finishing touch, I placed a sparkly little sequin in the middle of the smallest heart.

This is one of my favorite color combinations (Red and Aqua Mist) because it lends an old-fashioned feel that compliments the bingo card. All things soft, retro, and with great textures tend to intrigue me. I had a lot of fun creating this card. The sentiment is stamped in black onto a little OA journalling sticker. Here's a closer look at the center of my card.

I'm going to be linking this card to a few challenges where I love playing along:

Taylored Expressions: Share Joy Challenge #43 - Tic-Tac-Toe/Sketch - I chose to use the Tic-Tac-Toe board and I chose straight up and down the middle with Baker's Twine, Red, and Felt. I used Red Hot felt and Aqua Mist felt. I love playing along in these challenges. I'm going to mail this card to my precious niece, Audranna, in Minnesota just to remind her how very much she is loved.
