How to make your own background with the stamps!

Hello Everyone!!

A brand new week and January 2016 is almost over, just as in a blink of an eye!!! It feels like just yesterday we were welcoming a brand new year and time has come to welcome a brand new month in the new year as well!

I hope you remember this months challenge is which Anything goes! Read all about the challenge here

Challenge #2 

Anything Goes

We have a lovely mood board as an inspiration and the only thing to be followed from the mood board is the colors. You need to atleast have 3 of the 4 colors present in the mood board!

I made a few bookmarks!! Very simples ones and I wanted to highlight the background stamps that peek-a-boo has released! Luckily I used both the background stamps and make 4 bookmarks! These are very easy peasy, and works great with distress inks!

Here are the bookmarks!

All I did was distress the panels with the distress inks and then use the same distress inks to stamp the background stamps! This creates a wonderful background! It's super easy to make and is sureshot fun!

Since I wanted to highlight the background stamps, I kept the foreground very simple and just added one flower from another gorgeous stampset and the sentiment from the same stamp set.

I hope you liked my simple bookmarks! Do play along in the current months challenge!!

Find all the details here.

Happy Crafting!

A set of cards with a big hello!

Hello and Good Morning! ^__^

I'm Halak and super excited today to be presenting my first post as a design team member of Peek-a-boo!

As you know about our current challenge  #2 - Anything Goes, you can make anything you like, but it's gotta have a stamp and any 3 out of the following 4 colors : Saffron, White, Green and Blue. (Yep, going patriotic this month!)

We do have a few additional rules so don't forget to check those out - Here.

I made a set of cards keeping in mind the rules of the challenge and to hopefully inspire all you lovely folks to participate and win some cool stamps!  

Here's card #1.

It's made using the January 2016 Peek-a-boo stamp release.

Stamp Sets used in this project are :
1. Lotus Delight and,
2. You and Me

Out of the colors of the mood board, I picked Blue, Green and White.

(Oh yeah, I did glitter them up, everything's better with a little sparkle! ^__^)  

Here's card #2.

I use the gorgeous CHRYSANTHEMUM stamp from Peek-a-boo.

I absolutely love this big bloom, it is so much fun to color it and just one big bloom is quite apt to make one card .

I used Orange, Green (the green mulberry leaf) and White from the mood board in this project.

Yup, glittered up the bloom on this project too.. what can I say, glitter and flowers are a match made in crafty heaven!

Hope you liked them and here's one last close up! Have an awesome day! *Hugs*
