Showcasing the Debut of Christmas Bingo Challenges #1 design team card

 Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!

What: new May 1st debut of Christmas Bingo Challenges; I'm co-owner and DT

Why: DT inspiration; see the Bingo card for May 1-June 15; I'm using column G

{free/neutrals, slimline, red, stitching/faux, and doily/half of one}

When: May 1-June 15, 2023

Season's STITCHED Greetings Christmas card=

Notes: (also look at the Bingo card and my list of the "G" items used)

1. the base cardstock is red however the scanning is making it more of a rose red/pinkish red; 3.75" deep x 8.5" wide

2. herringbone print cardstock scrap = I think it's from Fancy Pants Designs

3. painted and inked background for the wood laser cut sentiment is recycled packaging!!! 

4. doily, gems, black marker, etc. = old stash items

5. lasered wood die-cut "Season's Greetings" = from a set of 3 = Dollar Tree
