Flippin' Women - Bingo themed card

 

I made this card for my friend to give to his Mum, who celebrated her 90th birthday earlier this year.  The recipient loves playing bingo, hence the theme! 

The main elements I used to make the card were: 

• Bingo decoupage from the La Pashe Flippin'  range;
• Bingo themed peel of stickers; and
• Birthday greetings from a Kanban die cut topper sheet.

 

I used an A4 cream card. With a large oval scalloped Grand Nestabilities die, I cut an aperture in the card, and also in a sheet of A4 white card. After securing the acetate to the inside front of the card, I overlaid it with the white A4 card to cover up the adhesive and neaten the inside. 

After decorating the card with the decoupage and peel off sticker elements, I added a rosette as the finishing touch, made from gold mirri card using a Tim Holtz die.     

Here's a picture of the birthday lady - having just been presented with her card - at the Bingo hall, of course!
