H2H Bingo Challenge!

  
We are going to a tropical theme birthday party today and this is the card I've made.
Following the H2H Bingo Challenge rules this week I have used border punches, flowers and buttons. See the H2H sketch below for all the bingo choices.
The flowers are pictured in the paper, the crochet ribbon has been threaded through one of the border punches, the buttons have actually been placed on the card face down, I just liked that look better on this card. The right side of the card is layered with another border punch.
Cardstock base and borders are Kraft CS, border punches are Martha Stuart. Paper, buttons & crochet ribbon are CTMH. The card edges have been scissor distressed.


My choices of flowers, border punch and buttons make a bingo from top to bottom center.

H2H Challenge - Random Stamping

This week's challenge is to random stamp a background and use it to make a card for Dad. 
I have used a Kraft CS base and 6 of the stamps from the Live Inspired stamp set.
The edges and background of the Kraft base were sponged with black for an aged look then mounted on black CS and adhered to the card base. The sentiment is cut out and also mounted on black CS.
All supplies CTMH.

There are 10 photos on this layout, a title on each page and a large journaling box. Buttons, brads, a My Stickease sticker, and ribbons have been added. The entire layout has been sponged distressed, which gives a really nice look to the background in the journaling box on the right side.
