Happy Birthday

I have a few friends who have Birthdays in December so here's one of my cards.

Love this colour combination. 

The embossing powder I used for the butterfly is Gold Pearl - which I did on vellum.

Mandala Wishes

I'm using more new stash again ... Distress Brushes and the lovely Altenew Acetate Butterflies.

I began by sponging (and Distress brushing) behind the Mandala die. I wanted to match the butterfly to the red/orange center, so I took the clear one and coloured with Copics. To clear up the lines made by the markers, I put some blending solution on the felt and dabbed to blend the colours.  I used a earbud with blending solution to wipe up the edges.

I organised my Distress Brushes in Rainbow order - plus brown. I used Copics to mark a circle on the end, and washi tape around the bases. Makes it easy to find the one I want.
