Challenge #12 Inspiration

Hello everyone! It's Juhi with some more inspiration for challenge #12 which is a color challenge.

Create a project with at least 2 colors from this image. Here's what I made

I used the gorgeous Mandala stamp set to create my watercolor cards. I first stamped the mandalas on watercolor paper and colored them in with Gansai Tambi watercolors.  Coloring them was like coloring adult coloring pages, I really enjoyed it!

Go here to enter the challenge, we would love to see what you create!

Supplies Used:

Mandala

Scallop Rectangle

Stringy Text

Enamel Dots

Celebrate Rakhi with Peek-A-Boo Designs

Hi all,

This time Ria on this side with a set of projects on Rakhi.

 Rakshabandhan or simply Rakhi is a Hindu festival celebrated in many parts of India, which celebrates the love and duty between brothers and sisters. On Rakhi, sisters tie a rakhi or the sacred thread on her brother's wrist which symbolizes the love and prayer by a sister for her brother. 

As the month of August hits, we can see many colorful rakhis being sold in the local markets.

Every year I make rakhis for my brothers; so, this time I thought to make a few with the PABD stamps.

Without wasting time, lets get started:

I will try to give detailed steps as much as possible.

Step 1: I took the Mandala stamp set and had drawn the outline of one of the layers on an OHP sheet.

Step 2: Then I took Happy Birthday to you stamp and stamped the 'BEST' from there on the OHP sheet and handwritten the word Brother, and embossed it white.

Step 3 : I made a shaker RAKHI by sticking it to another paper, a lil bigger on the edges, and some sequins inside it.

Step 4: I finished it with glitter on the edges and a ribbon I had in my stash.

I made another SHAKER rakhi on Blue and have used Banner Alpha for the Word 'BROTHER'.

Now to match it up with, I made a card followed by the simple steps:

Step 1: I have stamped the middle of the Golden Cardstock with Swirly Time and the outer section with Quilted Love by masking one another with two different shades of Gold embossing powders.

Step 2: I have made some handmade flowers (though this is my second try without any die cuts and accessories), placed those with some sequins.

Step 3: A hand written sentiment and some glitters on the edges.

Its done and I am happy to see how the two background stamps can be effectively used.

Lets have a final look on the set.

Supplies used:

I hope you all have liked the shaker rakhis with a matching card. Wish you all a Happy Rakshabandhan :)

With love 

Ria

Stencil Frenzy !!

Hi every one !! 

This month we released an small array of stencils which is a great add to our line !! 

Our Dts have taken the opportunity to make a stencil intensive project !! 

Here are the projects that they made !! 

Halak beautifully   used all three stencils from the collection and made this gorgeous project !! She used them to ink up her project and can you see the crispness the inking has with sharp edged !! This stencil is fantastic for ink blending !!

Our DT Piyanki Biswas made these ultra elegant gift tags. She had firstly distressed the background and used a darker colour of the same to stencil. These matching set of tags are so pretty and quick to make !!

This uber mixed media project with this grundge tiles cum wall background is so pretty .. The textures created using tbe tecture paste is to die for .. The use of flowers and sentiment enhance the background !!

 Wooow .. Bubbles looks so fantastic !! The dept of the tecture paste can be easily seen in this project !! Which enhances the entire project three folds !! 

The last mixed media project for the post has some really pretty textures with loads of spraying and texture paste !! The backgrounds stand out so nicely !!
