Four papers from a TH paper pad torn and applied to an art canvas with matte medium.
Pink and green acrylic smeared here and there with my fingers, spritzed and then some of it blotted back off.
I used Distress Mustard Seed to brighten up the dull areas, and white acrylic to lighten the dark areas.
The playing cards were sanded to remove the shiny finish and then sprayed with Dylusions inks, and then with a sparkle spray once it was dry.
The bingo card was colored to harmonize with the strip of Washi tape and the embroidery floss at the top.
The wooden arrow was stained with Distress Candied Apple to go with the center of the game board.
Lots of fun, and lots of dirty paper towels and inky fingers!

Your altered canvas panel is super. I really like what you did with the papers and distressing. Those look like real old wooden Scrabble tiles, are they? The darts board made me smile - it reminded me of the elderly gardener in a house where I was working as a cook bringing me along to his social club one evening.
You go to estate sales don't you? You might find real dominoes there. I have a lovely necklace pidgesmom made me with a real one, and a stamped and coloured bird image on the other side. I think she must have used something like a Dremel to drill through it.

This must have taken hours to create ... but what fun you must have had. Very inspiring!!

This is fun and would make a great decoration for a rumpus room wall. You certainly have all the elements in there, Kandie. Thanks for the tips you discovered while making this. Our crafting seems to keep our brains active and stimulated by the problem solving we do in the process including cataloguing of our supplies, finding them again and then applying them to projects. Such a circle of happiness. Lol
