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.
