Today, I'm meddling with mandalas and trying to create some cards featuring these circular lovelies.
Here's the first one I'm able to share.
This is a small card which uses a Gelli print background created with Adirondack Paints and a gorgeous TCW mandala stencil (Mini Prismascope). The image is Kiki Girl from Picket Fence and the sentiment is from Ink Road. The random black stamping around the edges is from an old, old stamp that is missing the company name.
I really enjoyed creating this card and had my first real successes with my Gelli plate. More practice needed, but it's a start! This really doesn't look like a birthday card owing to the sentiment, but it's for the birthday of a friend who has been going through some tough times.
I'm linking to one of my fav challenges:
Seize the Birthday - Challenge #171 where the Topping is Flowers
And for the first time to this lovely, arty challenge:
If you've never visited Lost Coast Designs blog I'd urge you to do so as the stamps are brilliant and the DT inspiration is just awesome. I'm delighted to play along in their Anything Goes Challenge #81.
I plan to meddle with mandalas during this week and I'll share my other cards when they're made, and explain the reason behind this little project.
Happy crafting everyone!
