I had a little fun with this challenge today. This is in fact the world's first winning BINGO card. It's a bit old as you can tell with the copper, gold, and black distressed top and game pieces. And as you can see, Mr. Herbert Louis Whitshaw-Pettigrew of Ludlow, Shropshire was quite shocked to learn of his windfall upon the verification of the BINGO numbers.
I used silver plumber's tape for the silver area...these were embossed and/or cut out with nesties. I applied gold, black, and copper acrylic paint over them, rubbed or sanded some away.

Fantastic card! So much detail, and your markers are SO much better than a dauber splat!

This came out great. Plumbers tape is a very creative idea (don't you love coming up with new sources for crafting supplies???). Your story was super fun too -- you'd fit right in with the Teapot Tuesday challenge.

I really look forward to seeing what you do each week in this mixed media challenge - you are so incredibly creative and your card is just so awesome - I love the mix of the gold, silver & copper colours and the little additions you add such as the clock, moustache for example!!
