Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!
{I want to finish this post but will launch it today September 1st. However, here's why: my mom just died yesterday Aug 31st at 10:45am. It was sudden, over the course of 16 hours.}
purpose: this posting showcases my newest DT contribution for Christmas or Not Bingo Challenges blog. We started out as Christmas only topics using the Bingo board but co-owner/manager Leslie expanded it to give players the option to use other occasions
when: #9 starts September 1-October 15, 2024; must use the BINGO board and only use 1 vertical column; mine is "G"
what: PROJECT #1 = Peace and Joy at Christmas
1. green =
a. base cardstock = Neenah
b. green and black patterned paper is a security lined paper panel recycled from health insurance report (YES!) that I inked with a permanent green dual-tip marker = Art Skills
c. lime green in an index card blank side covered in Pea Green alcohol marker ink application = Arteza
d. green acrylic paint = Crafter's Square
e. Peace & Joy foam sticker = from the collection Simple Vintage Christmas Lodge by Simple Stories
2. free =
a. accent colors
b. brown rimmed with silver foil metallic dots = bought on Paper Wishes website
c. washi tape = sorry I don't remember the vendor; been in my stash supply of holiday tapes for too long!
d. base cardstock was ink edged with a brown ink pad = Lawn Fawn
3. splatters =
a. applied with an old soft toothbrush using green acrylic paint mentioned in the 1st section
4. frame =
a. layers provided framing
b. washi tape strips were applied for a top layer framing for the center area
5. pearls =
a. red pearl gems were placed at each set of holly leaves in the repeating patterning of the washi tape
what: PROJECT #2 = this was my first attempt but wasn't happy with it = using G column = green, free, splatters, frame, & pearls
notes:
11. green = chartreuse, green and white buffalo plaid cardstock (The Paper Studio for cardstock)
12. free = text stickers (from The Simple Life sticker book by Simple Stories); red, kraft,
13. splatters = brown acrylic paint that was applied to a soft bristle toothbrush and then flicked all over the green and white buffalo plaid cardstock panel; also used to stencil the diamond border line; also used for the first stenciled-layer of 'family' but too much leaked through
14. frames = chartreuse plastic frame (Ki Memories; oldie); also created a Christmas items print washi tape frame on top of the plastic frame (vendor = ?)
15. pearl = two aqua blue pearls are located on each side of 'family'
16. other supplies: red and white buffalo plaid cardstock about an inch wider than the green = The Paper Studio
17. kraft cardstock base panel is 5" x 7" = Colorbok
18. reddish-brown marker was used to edge the perimeter for the kraft cardstock = stash item
