Happy Diwali with challenge reminder!
Hello and good afternoon dear friends!
Here's wishing you all a very happy and prosperous Diwali from the entire Peek-a-boo Designs team!
I'm Halak and I'm here to remind you amidst the festivities that we have Challenge #11 - Recipe running wherein you can participate for a chance to win a voucher which you can use to pick up some PABD awesomeness!
Here are the challenge guidelines :
Main Ingredients :
1/4 cup of the color red
1/4 of gold as well
Number 1 - Since we celebrate our first birthday in October
Garnishing (the twist ) :
Use atleast one of the the following :
stenciling
3d Layered projects
Make your own background with stamps
dash of glitter
Directions :
Make a delicious project using all the ingredients above and adding at least one garnish (the twist) of your choice.
Participants with a project with an Indian touch since we celebrate Diwali and other festivals in this month will get some bonus points.
PABD cutting dies are very versatile and can be used to make some fantastic projects!
You can create fun cards, scrapbooks, invites.. the list is endless!
Today I'm sharing a card I created as per Challenge #11 specifications to welcome the new year.
Tip : Buying a number die is a great investment because you can use it to create custom birthday cards, new year greetings, save the date invites etc.!
For my project, the background was created using the abstract triangle stencil. Once I stenciled it in pink, I offset the stencil and stenciled it in yellow to give it that two-toned effect.
The dies that were used are :
Rounded rectangle dual stitched die
Numbers die and
Celebrate word die.
Apart from this, I used the gorgeous Rose Gold cardstock from PABD. (Seriously guys, this cardstock is a must. Absolutely gorgeous!)
So, what are you waiting for! Read the recipe of Challenge #11 and cook up a fun crafty project!
Last day to enter is 31st October 2016, so... hurry!

Lots of gold and some glitter - October Release Inspiration
To created the watercolor background, I cut out the number dies on masking paper and stuck them randomly on watercolor paper, leaving some space in the middle for the number '5'.
I then painted the background in pink and orange Gansai Tambi watercolors.
I peeled off the digits once the watercolor dried, some paint did seep under the digits giving the background a beautiful watercolor wash effect! I finally cut out the '5' in gold and stuck it along with some gold thread and sequins and also heat embossed the sentiment in gold.
I hope my daughter likes the card :)
I followed exactly the same process to make the watercolor background of this Thank you card.
Don't you just love the gold against the turquoise? I just love how this one turned out!
I used my favorite "Border Frenzy" die from the month's release. I just can't get enough of this die.....love how it lets you add interest without extra bulk, perfect for CAS cards.
For the glitter heart I used the "Shaker Love" Die.
Well that's it from me for now, I hope you find inspiration in my projects! Thank you so much for stopping by today.
