Butterfly in Red Mandala Circle Card

Hi everyone! :o)

My 2nd post today. If you missed the first one just scroll down or follow a direct link here. :o)


My second project today is this Butterfly in Red Mandala Circle Card. I made this card for my mom who's birthday was a week ago. :o)

♥ I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST MOM!!! 


To make this card I CASEd a card I made for my mom's birthday last year (here). I went with same design and used same products, just went with different color scheme and only one butterfly on this card.

I used a GORGEOUS Create a Smile 'Mandala' cling stamp and Sizzix butterfly thinlits die.


How I made this card...

heat embossed the Mandala in white on a watercolor paper. I colored the Mandala in watercolor technique using two Distress Inks, Spun Sugar and Festive Berries, and a lot of water. When I was satisfied with color, I dried the paper and cut the Mandala into a circle shape.

I cut another same size circle from a white cardstock paper and two larger circles. I glued two larger circles together on top and created a circle shaped card base.

Then I die cut the butterfly in the watercolored circle panel and four 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)
