Bugaboo September Bingo Challenge!

Hello, it's time for our weekly challenge and this week it's Bingo! I used the top line of the bingo board, tag, pearls and a school image.

This is Grad Bear from Bugaboo Stamps. I coloured him with markers and then went back over the brown with a blender copic just making dots. I was going for a textured look! 

The card base is black, with a layer of designer paper from Recollections. I made the tag with the tag topper punch from SU then added ribbon and popped it up. I finished it off with some pearls!
