PTI challenge : Sampler Square

Hello!
This is my second post of the day..(Today's the deadline for the PTI challenges and I had to post the cards I had made :p ).
Here's my card for the sampler square challenge. I used the PTI stamp - Guidelines Stamp set. It has 9 beautiful squares to build a background and it perfectly fitted the theme.

I used distress inks and different embossing powders to alter each square differently.

Linking this card to the PTI Sampler square challenge.

Hey friends!
I was MIA since long as I was held up with few orders. A couple is celebrating their 2nd love anniversary and the girl wants to gift her boy with 24 gifts. Out of which she asked me to make 8. I will post the details in another post. Then my husband's office had an event and they wanted few small things to be given as prizes. So I made few "windows themed" quilled earrings and magnets. By the time I completed them, I was so tired that I didn't take any pics :(
All this left me with very little time for ICR's CASE. But finally managed to send stuff.

So now, all's done and I am free to craft as per my wish :)
Here's a card, I made using Varna's Love Birds stamp set which I won as Varna's blog hop winner (designer) for  this card -

Supplies : CS - Fabriano, Stamps - Varna's Love birds, PTI woodgrain, Inks -  Creativ, colorbox frost white, Distress inks - Tea dye, worn lipstick, Dies - Spellbinder lacey ovals, water color pencils - Steadler

I am fascinated by rainbow colours and the moment I saw this background stamp, I thought of creating the rainbow effect. I also wanted to make a special mention of quality of Varna's stamps. It is really superb! It's comparable to the big branded imported ones. I am pretty novice at stamping, but I got the brackground perfect at one go.
Hope you liked this card. Will be back soon with another.

Love,
Piyu
