We only have one challenge a month at We Love Stamping but we do love to see what you have all been doing and as crafters we enjoy making samples. So around the middle of each month we share a second inspiration piece with you.
Our theme is Anything Goes with the option to use a stencil.
Mandalas are becoming popular again, not long ago I got a couple of great Mandala stencils from Funky Fossil. The first stencil is a series of small pattens this one was placed in different random places on the card with Yellow, Pinks, and Greens dusted through it, Then the larger main patten stencil places on top and dusted with green.
Background complete time for a focal point. When we were all doing Mandalas last time round part of the fashion was to layer them making a pyramid. For this piece I used a set from a Crafts Beautiful magazine, stamped 3 times coloured with felt pens and then fussy cut then layered with sticky pads. With the same magazine there was a smaller stamp and matching die, using the die 3 more single layer pieces were cut and then directly coloured with Brilliance Ink Pads. The sentiment came from another magazine set, whose theme was all about mental health.
I'm also sharing this with
