Hello everyone! Betsy here on the blog today sharing a beautiful glimmering mandala card in blue and gold! I am using For the Love of Stamps - Precious Jewels:
This is such a beautiful stamp with so many color way possibilities! I decided to use blue on black and started by cutting a black panel 4" x 5 1/4" and heat embossing the mandala image with gold embossing powder. I left room for a sentiment but later decided not to use one.
For coloring I used Primacolor Premier Color Pencils. They really show up well on dark card stock and the colors just pop! I used:
I started in the middle and worked my way outward. Blending the colors. Only one or two areas have the full 6-color blend. Most are 2-5 colors. There are 2 places where I didn't color at all. I always keep my pencils nice and sharp when using them, sharpening often with a hand held sharpener. A sharp point helps get into the tiny spaces.
I added a small round gold sticker in the center and then placed a blue jewel on top of that for some added sparkle - because...more sparkle!
I covered an A2 size white card base with blue shimmer paper. I cut 2 very narrow strips of that same shimmer paper and adhered them across the bottom of the black colored panel with a narrow gold strip in-between. And that finished my card!
