Bingo Card with Something Green for OCCC

Greetings! Yep - this is a Christmas card.  Nope, I haven't lost my mind - I do realize that its supposed to be spring :o)  But, today I am entering a card for the first time in the Our Creative Corner Challenge (OCCC).

This weeks challenge at OCCC is to make a card or tag with some sort of bingo card on it, and use the color green somewhere on the project.  I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that most of you probably wouldn't have interpreted this as Christmas green - right?  Well..funny story... I had just finished up a card for another challenge that actually is to make Christmas cards (Merry Monday Challenge) and I had all this Christmas stuff out on my work table as I was reading about this week's OCCC challenge and inspiration struck! The result is this card.  Hey, I get points for creativity - right? 

Seriously, I sure hope you enjoy this card.  The size is 5 1/2 " square and fits nicely into the SU square envelopes (it is a postage hog though).  Supplies are listed below.  Thanks so much for popping in - hope I inspired you to create a bingo card with something green  (maybe you'll chose a spring theme though) :o) 

Supplies (all are from Stampin Up!):  Cardstock - Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso.  Patterned Paper - Letters to Santa (122349). Ribbon - 1/2" Seam binding in Baja Breeze. Brad from the Glimmer Brads - brights (121006). Buttons and felt embellishments- from my stash of retired products.

  2. Thanks Tui. I have to admit that I was nervous about putting a Christmas card in as my entry but I just had to allow myself to listen to my creative voice even if it did seem odd. Isn't that the fun though with being creative - you get to take some very safe risks :o) I appreciate your nice comments so much.
