The Magnificent Mandela Die

Hello friends!

How do you work with a large intricate die?

Today's card is about the magnificent Mandala Die Set.

Mandala Die Set
(all inks are listed at the end of the post)

It is a no brainer to use this die as is! However, you know me, I like to add my own twist.
So, I took our a piece of watercolor card stock and sandwiched it between Tan Embossing Mat and die cut plates. I then dry-embossed the die and used it as my coloring paper.

I want to add textures and color with this die. This method seems to be quite effective! 

It requires no special skills to color the image.
Totally therapeutic and fun.


I did spend some time to work with the sentiment by using Washi,  glitter tape and vellum and strings.

 I hope that you are inspired by today's post!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
