Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Blog

 Hello lovlies, wonderful to have you here again. This time I really wanted to use my new-to-me Mandalas stamp set .  So I grabbed them, some pink-purpelish embossing powders and a piece of light pink cardstock.  Further I thought of creating a notepad, so I grabbed some blush coloured Foil and a bonding embossing powder for creating some more sparkling mandals on an exte piece of paper.   I used some alphabet dies and two pinkish alcohol marker to create some more coloured depth to the alphas.  I love how you can see the foiled mandalas on the alphas and thorugh the colouring they stand out more from the mandala background.  For the final touches I just added some enamal dots and used a binding tool to complete my litlle mandala notepad.  Thank you so much for stopping by. Hopefully I could leave you some inspiration. See you again soon.  Stay healthy and crafty.  Farida

I didn't use any particular masurements for this. Next I created the sections. I drew some simple leave shapes first and then filled in the gaps with very simple squares, triangles, rectangles.
