Chocolate, Coffee & Cards – Bingo!

Hello, how are things? Me again! Wow you can just reach out and touch the weekend can’t you, and a bank holiday weekend to boot! Thank goodness!

I’m here today to let you know that there is a new challenge starting over on the Chocolate, Coffee and Cards Challenge Blog and our theme this fortnight is Bingo, and here is the bingo card!
                                                    We are sponsored by 

Who are offering a fabby prize!

As Christmas is a coming (yippee, my favourite time of year) I decided I had better get my finger out and make some festive cards! And here is my very first effort of the year! Hoorah!
I chose the middle row of the bingo card, Green, Bow, String, and used one of our sponsor’s images called Snow Capped Tree.  I printed it twice to go either side of my Paltry Paper-Pieced door, a mass of rough measurements and slightly dodgy cutting and embossing! Probably wouldn’t repel burglars methinks! J

I will admit to quite liking my wreath which I made by cutting up the Tattered Lace ‘Ornate Leaves’ dies and sticking them to a circular frame! And my coir (ok string) doormat!

Ingredients:
Dies: Tattered Lace ‘Ornate Leaves’
Punches: Tonic snowflake
Paper/Card: Neenah Desert Strom – Bazzill Bling
Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir pencils
Others: Beads in a Bottle – Flowersoft – Stickles - string, crystal glitter, ribbon & gems from my stash – sentiment from Hunkydory (I think)
Hopeless Hand drawings & Paltry Paper Piecing: Everything, except the trees (and obviously they are the best thing!!)

I hope you will join us, who doesn’t love a bit of bingo. Look what my clever teamies have done on the blog and play along!

Thanks so much for looking and enjoy your day!
See ya!

Colourful hugs
Jane xx
