Birthday Mandala 1 & 2

 Getting some new supplies inked up ! I tried the Altenew Mandala Builder Set. It's 6" square.

I decided to try make 2 cards on the standard card size, so this is the first. The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Birthday Word Mix.

The part I trimmed, was put on a new card.

It was only after I saw it displayed there amongst my other cards, that I thought I should have but some tea cups on top as if the pattern was part of a tablecloth!

My mind works slowly sometimes.

I added Nuvo Crystal Drops to add interest.

Rainbow Birthday Hugs

Here is another card made by die-cutting card stock that I had distressed in rainbow colours. (The first card can be found here, and the second set of 2 is here). 

I'm using the rainbow outline only. Got more coming with the rainbow on the inside.

I used a stencil with embossing paste which was sprinkled with crystal sparkles while still wet.

Up Close on the yellow to violet side ... you can see the lovely shimmer on the stencil pattern. I also die cut some small hearts to match the colours.

Here is the green to red side.

Birthday Spring colours

Here are my next set from my zoom class examples ... spring colours! Just one end of the rainbow.

This time I used the lovely Botanical Beauty die from The Stamp Market. Such a lovely flow to this leaf.

Some delicate birthday blooms ... some left white, some stamped with the ink and spritz technique.

I'm starting to play with the stamps and supplies that I ordered around Black Friday!
Yes, it does take that long for postage!

I could not resist this set from Simon Says Stamp ... and I could picture this card from the minute I saw the set.
