a. As You Like It Challenge; new/started March 7; theme is monochrome or colorful and why; COLOR-- the more color the better is generally what my cards reflect; occasionally I'll do a monochrome but it sometimes a struggle to do those; with my favorite colors of pink and purple, this card reflects these both as the major colors

Christmas or Not Bingo Challenges #6 for March 1 to April 15 project

purpose: this posting showcases my DT/co-owner contribution to the #6 competition for Christmas (or not) Bingo Challenges blog; the wonderful and delightfully talented Leslie T does all the work for the blog

when: #6 competition starts March 1, 2024 and ends April 15, 2024; the bingo board image will be seen further down in this post

what: Shiny Glittery Blue Christmas wishes

(column O = blue, free, smooshing, distressing, and no stamping) 

below: closeup to see the distressed edges on the paper's edges using the blade of scissors along with the smooshed paint on the circle focal backdrop (blue metallic acrylic paint and silver/gray metallic acrylic paint)

notes:

1. sticker labels/sentiments = Simple Life Vintage Woods by Simple Stories

2. blue and silver foil snowflake 'dazzles'/stickers = Hot Off The Press

3. bright blue cardstock for the base = Neenah
