Guest Designer Post

Hello Friends ! Pooja here I am very excited to share my projects as Guest Designer for Peek a Boo Designs.I would like to Thank  Vidushi  Saraf  and the entire DesignTeam for giving me this opportunity . I was very happy to receive these wonderful made in India clear Stamps from PABD .

Clear stamps from PABD Stringy sentiments Happy holi,DMask

They have excellent  quality I can tell you as I have used them with pigment inks, dye inks ,Distress inks and embossing inks too .Each time the result was clear crisp image.

I made a bunch of cards using them. Sharing the Holi cards first. I loved the bold happy holi sentiment no need to add much on cards.

Happy Holi card

Did you recognize the flowers ? Yes "Palash " also aptly called Flame of Forest .It is said that nature plays holi through them .I am Lucky to have seen palash trees in full bloom so many times. Hand drew and watercolored the flowers and stamped the sentiment.Some ink smooshing in the background after all is a holi card !

Next  is One layered CAS card . Stamped happy holi with multiple inks ,masked it and literally played holi with watercolors on the card.Stamped few leaves n flourishes for interest.

2 tone stamping with pigment Inks

  For this card I created the background by 2 tone stamping with pigment inks.I have used the smallest image from this set to create the pattern and the sentiment is from Stringy Sentiments.

Background created by heat embossing damask pattern

Coming to last card, heat embossed the pattern and then sponged Salty oceans Distress ink. Embellished with readymade flower (Gift from Shalu ) ,the leaves are from this stamp set and I also used the small flourish designs to create the label .

Now the Final project an Altered box.I have altered black packaging box.
