Butterflies in Mandala Circle Card

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Butterflies in Mandala Card I made for my mom who's birthday is today. :o)

♥ HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! 


To make this card, I used a GORGEOUS Create a Smile 'Mandala' cling stamp and Sizzix butterfly thinlits die.

heat embossed in white the Mandala on a white watercolor paper. I colored the Mandala in watercolor technique using two Distress Inks, Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean, and a lot of water. When I was satisfied with color, I dried the paper and cut it into a circle shape. I cut another same size circle from a white cardstock paper and two larger circles. I glued together two larger circles to create a card base.

Then I die cut butterflies in the panel and bunch of butterflies from the white cardstock paper.

With all pieces ready, I started assembling my card. First I glued the watercolored panel on the same size white cardstock circle. Then I glued butterflies. I combined die cut inlay and die cut stacking techniques. When I glued all pieces together, I glued the panel on the card base and my card was finished. :o)
