Hello crafty friends! Hope you are all having a wonderful week.
I finally got around to playing with the new Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit for April 2022 and Add Ons. This kit is so awesome for many occasions coming up, especially for those of us who love flowers. I definitely will share a couple of cards featuring the new kit soon, but for today's card, I am focusing on one of the Add On sets, specifically the Floral Mandala Bundle.
This card could be used for really any occasion. I love making cards like this so that I can just quickly stamp a specific greeting on the inside and make it a birthday card, a wedding card, or any other reason that it would be your day.
CARD RECIPE
I began this card by cutting a piece of HA Plum Cardstock to A2 size. I then used 3 Distress Oxide Inks to blend out the top of the panel (see list below).
Once the ink blending was dry, I stamped out 3 of the Mandalas and the sentiment from the Floral Mandala Bundle, onto the panel using Versa Mark Ink and then heat set it using Gold Embossing Pwd. I then die-cut the 3 Mandalas using the coordinating dies. To prevent the white from showing under the die cuts I glued the ink blended panel onto another piece of Plum cardstock. I then popped the die-cut Mandalas back into place using foam to elevate each one of them.
For a touch of bling... cause I always need to add bling to my cards 😆, I trimmed the panel down slightly and then glued it to a Gold Glitter piece of cardstock cut to A2 size. This was then glued onto a 5x7 Ivory card base. I also added some gem stickers to the Mandalas and Pearls.
Hope this pretty Mandala Card inspired you today. I love how this simple card turned out.
Thank you all for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
