For the second card I made the background by heat embossing the paisley motif repeatedly and blending ink in ombre color scheme.I have used the negative of scalloped rectangle die-cut as frame for sentiment panel and embellished with enamel dots.

Hello! crafty friends
Today,its my turn ..so here I am with few more projects using Peek-a-boo design .....

My FIRST PROJECT -DIWALI Cards

#1.Its a normal A2 size card
#2. I did distressing using #PABD stencil with distress inks evergreen bough,scattered straw and peacock feathers...
#3. Took vellum paper 2'' * 6'' and did Diwali greeting... stamping using #PABD Stamp ( I wanted to use gold embossing powder ,but my heat gun not working and waiting for my new one)..
#4. Stamped the Indian Motif  using #PABD stamp with black Archival ink, on Rangers water color paper and then colored  using Zig real brush pens ..and did fussy cutting...
#5. Before layering my card I glued vellum piece on my top layer ....,sticking both sides at the back and in front,I glued in few places where I have used Indian motif and enamel dots...
#6. Then did layering with black CS and base fold card.
#7. Finally arranged my Indian motifs using foam dots.

My SECOND PROJECT- INTERLOCKING GATE FOLD MASCULINE  CARD

#1. In this card I have used 5.50'' *8.50'' CS and scored on long side at 2.25''from both sides..to get my gate fold card.
#2. I have used 2nd smaller size die from scalloped circle double stitched die for my interlocking mechanism. Stamped the sentiment in the center using #PABD stamp set
#3. Did layering with PP on one panel and embossing paper on other panel of gate fold... ,distressed with walnut stain and Black shoot. Both the panels layered with black CS.
#4. Used Gear Die cuts in black to decorate,on which I have used Inka Gold and used few black rhinestones

MY THIRD PROJECT- SYMPATHY CARD

When I started with this card , I was little confused ,that...which stamp image to use from my this months DT kit...as I prefers to use flowers with my sympathy cards...and I had flowers only in my little sparrow stamp set .....So finally I got idea to use only flower part from my birdie stamp set.

#1.I took 4.25''* 5.50'' size CS ( Kraft card stock). Stamped the sentiment at the bottom with black versifine black ink...using #PABD stamp set .
#2. Flowers I stamped twice on watercolor paper using #PABD stamp the Little Sparrow( masking the sparrow part) and colored it with Zig real brush pens ....did fussy cutting and used glossy accent and glitter rock candy.
#3. I have used scalloped circle white die cut using #PABD scalloped circle double stitched die .Arranged the flowers using foam dots and used few black rhinestones...
#4. To finish my card I did layering with black CS and then with white main fold base card...
