Be of Good Bingo
This is the first card I've made (in my entire 9 months of card-making!) that my husband hates. On the plus side, now I know that he really means it when he tells me how cool they are! A couple of firsts for this card: I used a new embossing folder I just got in the mail from my good pal AND I embossed it on cardstock with a lighter core...something I just learned about from the same friend. One of the things I love most about making my own greeting cards is using non-traditional colors; the colors are actually quite a bit more vivid though. The sentiment is an EAD rub-on that I forgot about I think it's perfect for this blingy card. And for the second time in a row, this card is inspired by not ONE but TWO challenges. For the Jingle Belles Bingo challenge, I chose the diagonal row, starting in the upper right hand corner, bling, flowers, and dry embossing. And the layout is courtesy of Merry Monday Be of Good Cheer.

well, i don't want to "dis" the man of the house, but unfortunately he's just flat-out wrong about this one! of course, it's a well-known scientific fact that men HATE purple, so we will try not to judge him, lol!!! :) (& yeah, it totally gives you a watermark of knowing that when he says he LIKES the others, it's not just lip service, so that's awesome!)
ReplyDeleteon the other hand, i definitely ♥LOVE♥ this enough for two people, so feel free to tell him he's been out-voted! i LOVE your take on the sketch, i looooooooooooove your version of our bingo game, and i really REALLY love the purple + teal color palette!!! totally awesome!!! (& well done you, oh confident challenge-combinerer!!!) ♥♥♥
Oh my goodness, I totally have to disagree with your husband on this one ... that color combination is fantastic and I love that gorgeous embossed texture ... it add such a touch of elegance to the design ... and that rub-on sentiment is perfect. I will have to side with Lauren & say hubby gets out-voted on this one ... so glad you joined our BINGO fun.
