We're playing games at Jingle Belles this week … specifically, our own version of Jingle Belles B-I-N-G-O.
![JB bingo-final[4] JB bingo-final[4]](https://i0.wp.com/ingeniousinkling.com/wp-content/uploads/tp/2012/6a00e00998ce1b8833017744399860970d-300wi.jpg?w=720&ssl=1)
I went for a vertical BINGO right down the center … stamping, flowers & tree.
The beautiful Flowering Christmas Tree Die from Memory Box took care of two of my elements in one design. I decorated my tree with two sizes of tiny adhesive pearls. Next, I added stamping with Hero Arts Grid Pattern stamped in Creamy Brown Chalk ink on Kraft cardstock for a tone-on-tone look.
I added one of my favorite holiday sentiments from CatsLife Press (stamped in a darker brown for a bit more contrast) to finish the design … and yes, the reason the sentiment is on a flag is because there's a sentiment boo-boo underneath … or as I like to call it, an embellishment opportunity.
I'm also joining the Krafty Crafter Challenge at A Blog Named Hero … and also the Asymmetry Challenge at the Moxie Fab World Blog (the sentiment & flourishes help add balance).

Love this Stephanie. This is such a fab colour combo and that PP makes such a perfect background for that bold tree.
beautiful! love the colour combo and such a gorgeous die!
