Live the life you love!

Hello friends!

Today's project is inspired by a fabulous sketch!

I started with the Mandala stencil on my card. I don't want to waste the ink which left over for the last card I created.

In this technique, I just sprayed some water using a mist bottle on the stencil which already inked (used for my first card) and quickly placed the stencil, took the pattern on another piece of white CS. Removed the stencil and I got my new pattern without wasting my ink.

You can keep the pattern same if you want to decorate it but I added a further step on it.
Here are the pics of procedure to understand:

I took my same stencil and placed carefully where I got these inked patterns and covered all around the edges with masking tape again.



Now I added Distress black soot ink to fill those empty space to fill. You can see how the colors are more intense!

  I converted this background pattern into a mixed media shaker card with the theme "Live the life you love!" I am in love with the new Blooming Beauty critter sheet, so pretty!!!

So I used this motif as a focal point with shaker elements and some embellishments using critter sheet florals to highlight this wonderful Blooming girl!

I fussy cut the beautiful lady, floral patterns along with a pair of shoes with text sentiment banner too from the critter sheets. Then I applied a thin line of clear crystal drops carefully on all the fussy cut-outs and embellishments.

Die cut rangoli frame out of the white sheet and white foam sheets, made a thick stack of them to move around my shaker elements easily.

I gave a watercolor wash effect to my duo die cut leaves.

Now adhered that stack of rangoli frame with acetate on it. In the window, ice glitter candy is poured and sprinkled some colorful confetti in it, so shimmery and shiny:)D.
Now created the whole scene with all the elements I put in. As the final step, I adhered a metal leaf and flower charm too and added clear crystal glitter to other pretty embellishments clustered around the frame.

Thank you so much for stopping by; I hope you enjoyed the project!
