Mandala Elegance stencil card!

Hey everyone!

Lots of amazing NEW products to be having fun with and I have some new oxide inks in the house! I had a lot of fun with my new stencil as my DT post inspirations!
A good combination for sure as the oxide inks blend so very well. The stencils are the focus on Today's cards.
The other card is on the next post.

 I have two techniques to share with you using the same Mandala stencil!!

First, create your own patterned paper with stencils.

Card#1

Here are a few steps for how I created my background.

I used the 8"x8" stencil to create my own background. Placed my mandala stencil on a whits CS. Then I used oxide inks with a finger dauber for each color to create the pattern and masked the white CS around the edges. I started at the centre of the pattern in a circular motion and added the color through the stencil using DO.

Once I had added all of the colors I removed the stencil carefully.

I didn't want to take anything away from the background, so to finish my first card I added a bold die cut word out of black CS with a sentiment strip from the Blooming Beauty critter sheet and some die cut hearts.





 I added some clear crystal drops to allow the color shine through the sentiment.
