Do you like one layer cards that are easy for mailing? Today I am creating a beautiful mandala in four colours using just one mandala die. The beautiful Viva Layer A mandala is going to be the start of the show as all of the pieces are being inlaid into the card.
To create this card I started with the Mandala Circle Base that I die cut once with white cardstock and once with a piece of double sided adhesive paper. Using the Circle Base makes doing the inlaid mandala’s so much easier. The double sided adhesive paper die cuts were adhered the outter rim and the inner circle die cuts. The Viva Layer A die was cut once in each of five colours. Removing the adhesive baking from the circle base exposes the adhesive. Mix and match the colours and inlay the pieces.
All of the colours together make this card very festive. To add more interest and dimension to the card the mandala was popped up with foam tape.
A sentiment from Hooray for Everything was used to make this a congratulatory card for a new home. I have a couple more of these to finish up using the extra pieces from each of the mandalas die cut.
One more look at the card.
Thank you so much for dropping in today for another inspiration post. Inlaid die cuts are beautiful with our mandala craft dies, I hope I inspired you today to give it a try.
