Altered Bingo Board

I’ve altered a bingo board for Lisa http://craftfairy.blogspot.com/  I was going to keep it until Christmas but I wanted to see her face when she saw it, so I gave it to her the last time I saw her.

It’s only recently that I found out that she loves bingo and as I’d got a couple of bingo boards squirreled away (from Poundland), I thought I would make her something a little more individual for when she goes off to the Mecca!

I’ve stuck bingo tickets from a huge tear off pad (also from Poundland) onto the board and circled a few numbers in pink to add a bit of colour, then applied several of coats of  lustre gloss Modge Podge, which dries pretty fast and has a lovely finish.

But something was lacking, so after a bit of thought I added some K & Co. die cut butterflies and varnished over them too with a sprinkling of hologram micro glitter.

The temptation was to add jewels and 3D flowers etc. but, not that I know a lot about Bingo, I don’t think Lisa would want sticky up things on her board when she is trying to mark her numbers off quickly.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
