My Christmas or Not Bingo DT #10 with a Column B and a Column O cards starting 1 Nov 2024

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

purpose: this posting showcases my newest DT contribution for Christmas or Not Bingo Challenges blog

when: #10 starts November 1-December 15, 2024; must use the BINGO board and only use 1 vertical column; mine is "o" for project #1 and 'b' for project #2 using sponsored image

what: Project #1 using 'O' column = free, purple, pearls, stenciling, doily 

notes for #1: 

1. base print red-purple paper = SU

2. purple/lavender and gray cardstocks = Art Skills

3. white cardstock base for the stenciled panel = Neenah

4. half doily top layer is silver foil, so I reversed it to the paper layer and used purple watercolor marker to make it purple = Crafter's Square (from a set of 12 small circular/scalloped doilies)

5. stencil = Pink and Main; colored pencils used to fill  are stash; handwritten Advent words

6. die-cuts = Simple Stories; red or pink colors changed to magenta (red-purple tone)

7. a mix of pearls and gems = Crafter's Square

and

what: Project #2 using sponsored Polkadoodles image x 3 = a trio of cactuses

notes for #2: using Column "B" 

11. hand-colored image(s) = desert cactus black and white image from Polkadoodles; sponsoring the Nov 1-Dec 15, 2024 competition; printed wallet size x 3; colored pencils (stash)

12. dots = puffy dots (Recollections); dotted paper in rust, orange, gray and white = Simple Stories; also bleached dots

13. slimline = horizontal slimline; 3.5" deep x 8" wide

14. bleaching = cotton-tip swabs used to apply bleach on 4 cardstocks/papers= (1) mint/sage green cardstock (Neenah) in horizontal swipes; (2) tan/light kraft tone cardstock base (old Pen + Gear) in dots along the bottom edge; (3) the rust/autumn tone large dot paper (Faboolous collection by Simple Stories) dotted just on the orange dots; and (4) the horizontal autumn tones striped paper (also Faboolous collection) swiped just on the dark brown stripes of the design

15. free = sentiment (created as Google Doc); gold stars (Recollections); black ink pad (Hero Arts)
