Bingo!

I'm currently playing several games of on-line Bingo so this seemed an appropriate embossing folder to use for the CCC this week.  Double Distress is the name of the game and I used the technique on the Bingo card as well as the snowman.  The snowman actually got distressed 3 times because he's sporting some Distress Stickles on his snowflakes.  Everything is Tim and Ranger with the exception of the Maya Road Bingo piece (sanded off the black and used green distress ink on it) and the snowman's flakes (they're Provocraft). 

Got lucky with the placement of the diecut in the snowflakes embossing folder...check out his nose.  That snowflake was placed perfectly...bet I can't do that again!  So, naturally it got some orange distress stickles while the arm got walnut stain, the body a blue d.i. and the hat a touch of black diamond stickles.  I did highlight/shadow a few things with a black marker.

  5. I love your tag. I especially like the way you used part of the snowman. It looks like he is gazing up at the snowflake. Beautiful technique.

  9. Susan, I love that you tied your tag in with your online Bingo hobby! How fun, and the sweet, beautiful look of your snowman art is a joy to see! The double distress looks great (so does the TRIPLE distress!), and your use of the little Maya Road piece is so clever.

    You're right-- the diecut placement is spot on!

    This is wonderful, and just sings "Happy Holidays!"
