Here is my take for this challenge. I've made a greeting card. I've used my own designed stamp 'Floral Zen' from January release. :) Super happy to use my designed one for this first challenge of year 2018!! :)

Here it is...

It's a One Layer Card and I've chosen pink cardstock for that. I first stamped this floral in the middle of my cardstock then heat embossed with gold. I stamped and heat embossed again this image partly here n there for completing my background. Water colored them using Zig Markers. Used my color pencils for giving it a finishing touch. 

Here are some closeups..

I've created a video too about all the coloring of this card. Here it is...

Here is the pic of my designed stamp set which I've used for creating this card..

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...
