My card features the brand new Gina K Designs Mandala Builder stamp set. I don't usually fall head over hills for new stamps. I tend to ponder them for a little bit. There was no pondering on this one - I bought it immediately. This type of set just makes me think of my daughter and my oldest sister.
I used colors by Kelley Purkey and they went together so well. I also embossed a few of the pieces of the mandala with Platinum embossing powder by WOW! I love love LOVE now this turned out. But the mandala was so gorgeous that I couldn't cover it up! So I cut a frame from vellum and also embossed it with Platinum embossing powder. I messed it up a little and it's a little cockeyed but hopefully I masked it well with the placement of the corner elements and bringing the sentiment strip up and over. The sentiment is from Mondo Sakura stamp set by Ellen Hutson.
Take a look at this shine....
Pretty gorgeous, right!? I love this embossing powder. I want to turn everything platinum!
Okay - be sure to visit the team and play along with us at Tuesday Morning Sketches. We'll see you there!

What a gorgeous card and a wonderful take on the sketch. I've been watching Rina's videos using this set. It really looks like it such fun! And believe it or not I am actually going to a workshop on Saturday with Rina and Gina K for the wreath builder. I'm really excited about that! The wreath builder has been on my list for some time now and I hope they don't sell out before I get there. Have a wonderful week!
Ooh Donna have a great time! Thanks for stopping by.
Wow, Melissa! This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the shades of teal, and that platinum embossing is amazing!!
You are not good for my wallet... all these new things you show... I want 'em! :)
I see that beautiful GinaK Mandela builder caught your eye too! The colors and embossing are beautiful together! Have fun with it:)
