Casino Amusements and Bingo

Jane and June were the very best of friends and did everything together. On Thursdays, they played BINGO at the West Palisades Bingo Hall. They referred to themselves as the Bingo Queens, and everyone else just called them Jane and June, unaware of their royal status. Of course there can be only one winner, and this night it was June. Jane was not pleased when June shouted Bingo, but tried to put on her happy face without success. June, noticing Jane's awkward facial expression, treated her to a big martini after the game and that put a smile back on Jane's face!
My tag was made with Seven Gypsies paper, 1933 Cosmopolitan magazine image, stamped and glittered crown, text from vintage bingo game, bingo marker number 2 from Maya Road and ribbon from my stash. I added chalk to their cheeks and eyes to add some colour!
Hugs,
Ivy

    These bingo queens look as though they are really having fun - love that vintage look you have created as a reminder of more innocent times.
