Hi I'd like to share with you a card I made using one of the mandalas from set 1.
I started off with my white cardstock which I'd measured to be a bit smaller to fit my card blank.
I took the numbers stencil from the D'Inkables set 5 stencil set and rubbed over some Villainous potion oxide ink. I then sprayed it till it started to run and placed it over my cardstock. As the stencil was smaller than my cardstock I did this several times.
To add some interest and texture I stamped the ring stamp in black and the text in Peacock feathers from the Journal art elements stamp set several times. Then using a white Posca pen I added some highlights.
I put this piece aside and started on my images. I stamped out one of the mandalas from the Mandalas #1 in full and then 2 of the centres of the same manadala. I cut around the circle edge to make a frame and then the circle. Using a circle punch I punched out an inner for the frame. On the circle I stamped out the smaller face from Faces: Whatever works stamp set. I then coloured all the pieces by watercolouring with Ecoline pens. I then lightly stencilled the number stencil onto the circle edges with the Villainous potion. I again used the white Posca pen to add highlights.
I used a wet glue to adhere the face circle to the card and 3D foam pads to adhere the frame and mandala flowers.
The mandala stamps are so versatile when you cut into them. I fussy cut the flowers but don't be put off by doing that. Just turn your card and not the scissors and you soon get into a rhythm.
Have a great weekend - Sharon x
