Welcome to the Weekend.
Really good to have a bit of crafting time.
Meet today's simple card using this beautiful Split Mandala stencil from ACLD.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I cut a piece of heavy white cardstock and centered the Split Mandala stencil over my paper.
- Using some Versamark ink and a small sponge dabber, I rubbed over the stencil, being sure to get into all the little nooks and crannies.
- After it was all inked, I removed the stencil and sprinkled on some Tim Holtz Distress Peacock Feathers Glaze and heat set it. The glaze is just like using Embossing Powder but I found it gave a bit more of a shiny appearance to the finished card.
- This stencil has a space in the middle and seemed the perfect place to add a sentiment. I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Everyday Sentiments set in black Versafine on a paper strip and pop dotted that into place.
- It needed something more in that space, so I added 3 black gems in 2 different sizes on either side.
- I mounted it onto a white card base.
Here is the stencil I used:
