So now to my Tutorial -

I Made a Stationery Box and Used the most beautiful n versatile stamp "the Damask" Set!! Here you go - 

I Used Peek-a-boo Design's Black Card stocks which is very very sturdy & good for making albums n boxes of all sorts !! Also Used White Textured card Stock for stamping (as a Pattern Paper) Though this one is also very sturdy n having 300 gsm but i loved the textures & its good for stamping too !!The Rose Gold Card Stock from which I Made the Bow N Hearts is just awesome !! Do check out all the Card Stocks & Stamps Here!!

So guys i think i didn't bored you much & you really liked this attempt of Mine ?

Dont go away ...i am sharing a bonus tutorial too ---- yes this full post is picture heavy ..so just relax n watch it !! ;)

Card - 1 : As Holi is near so i thought to share a colorful Holi Card using " Holi Hai " Stamp set from Peek-a-boo Designs India !!

I Used a little bit of masking technique here . Let the pictures say all --

For finishing touch ups I added some colorful sequins which is my latest obsession ;)

Card -2 :  For this card i Used Jennifer McGuire's Over lap Stamping using " It's Plaid Time Stamp" from Peek-a-boo Designs India !! This stamp is also very very versatile & in so much trend!! We can create our own pattern papers with it !! I used Colorbox Pigment Inks for stamping. Firstly choose a point from where you wanna start your stamping ..i choose the top most corner so can reduce the chances of mistakes ;) Then keep on stamping in the same diagonal position with different colored inks.... .& while stamping further, just keep a single thing in mind that we need to overlap the previous stamped strip a little bit & when we do the same ..the two ink will give a very cool n beautiful effect after mixing with each other. 

See the steps --

Added some Heat Embossed Lotus From " Lotus Delight" Stamp Set and the Sentiment from Latest released Mini Stamp " Pixie Dust " .For final touch up added heart shaped stones from my stash !! See how colorful n classic it is looking !!

Card - 3 : Haww...finally the last one :p For this Card I again used " It's Plaid Time Stamp" from Peek-a-boo Designs India to build my background..this time i used solid wide strip as well diagonal strips stamps to create this beautiful n very colorful background with Pigment inks !!

 Have a look at the steps --

To complete the card i used " Be Good Mini Stamp Set " .Added some paper flowers and tiny heart shaped stones to finish it up !! Keep it as much simple as i could and i really loved the whole process of background building !!

Post - 101 : Two Pretty Cards !!

Hello pretty friends...!! Did you notice that i finally completed 100 Posts on my blog !! Yaya..!! & Its my 101 th post ...!! Today I am sharing two Simple yet pretty Cards !!

Here is the first card for which I used Hindi Sentiments Stamp set from Peek-a-boo Design..I just love this stamp as this is the first Hindi stamp n that too launched by Indian company along with it is very versatile n can be combined with almost all Indian festivals/ occasions !!

Firstly I choose a wood grain BG paper ..then added some colorful fabric tapes on the panel for some texture n color !! Added a die cut label on which I stamped my sentiment. And for final touch I placed a rose bud besides the sentiment panel. Wanted to focus the sentiment only so kept it quite simple !!

Now to the next card ..this one was super quick n i loved the way  it turned out so colorful !! For this card I used sponged & water drop technique ..haha ..sounds interesting na ? But its only putting distress ink with ink daubeers on to ur card stock & then dropping some water droplets with a brush. Then wait for some seconds to react ink with water n then soak the excess water with paper napkin ! 

The BG is soo colorful then who can not think of holi ? So added the Holi Sentiment from Peek-a-boo stamp range !! For some interest added silver thread n some sequins !!

Hope you like my cards !!

Hugs..

Happy Crafting !!
