Black Velvet Mandalas
Today’s project was inspired by a new mandala die set I bought recently. It has beautiful layers that you can mix and match. The possibilities are endless!
I decided to work on this scripted handmade paper. It’s so heavy and textured… and I can’t seem to get enough of it. To enhance it, I cut the mandala pieces from a black velvet paper. It’s so soft and feels luxurious. It added the perfect texture to my card.
In order to work with such an intricate die cut, I needed to get creative with my adhesive. I used a lightly damp paper towel and added liquid glue to it. Then I dabbled the glue on the back of each die cut and put them in place. It worked great.
For my sentiment, I stacked three black love words and one gold glittery one for the top. The dimension was definitely needed to keep it from getting lost in my beautiful background.
