I had time to take a quick trip to the orchard for today's MMTPT484 Tickle a Teapotter challenge. Only the apple I was planning to use turned out to be far too big for the Bingo card, so luckily I was able to find another.
Card base sponged with Peeled Paint distress stain.
Kraft layer embossed with a Sizzix ef and sponged.
The little apples were stamped with DOX inks and punched out with a 1/2" circle punch. The leaves are stamped with DOX peeled paint for the solid stamp and regular distress Forest Moss for the veins. The apple blossom comes from Embrace Life, and I sponged the petal edges with pink and added specks of yellow pollen.
The butterfly was on my desk, moving it out of harm's way. At a guess, it's distress oxides sponged on to vellum after heat embossing the butterfly, then pressing the whole thing into Versamark and embossing with Iridescent Ice for some sparkle.

Everything about this is terrific Sabrina. I love how you use distress stain to colour the base. The wood grain panel is a great backdrop for the Ladies Auxcillary bingo event. I didn't realise how intense the colours of DOX are, after seeing your stamped bingo apples, I think I need to go shopping!

I bet someone here was having fun making this...so cute...love bingo, havent played in a looong time, would be fun to use your cute apple dots instead of dabbers. Your wood bg is awesome for this too, like a country fall fair bingo game...TFs..:0)

This is such a fun idea, Sabrina. (I thought you said you'd done an NYC card, so this was a total surprise.) That bingo card is perfect for the Teapotters, and the marker chips with the apples are such a creative use of that little stamp.
