Hello My Mandala

Some days I just need color in my life. Bright yellows, pinks, purples, and blues always make me happy. I took my inspiration from those colors and created this cheery card.

The front of the card itself was made with Gold Glitter Washi Tape. I then added bits and pieces of the Black Swirl Bling and three Black Pearl brads for movement.

The focal point of this card is this magnificent mandala. I colored it using alcohol ink markers on top of white glittered cardstock. Throughout the mandala, you will notice different colors of Purple and Blue Jeweled Bling along with Pink Cut Jewel Bling with the center of the mandala being the bright yellow sun from the Sun and Clouds Brad. The mandala is sitting on top of a circle made from Bright Pink Glitter Washi Tape.

When I see this card, it makes me happy and brings a smile to my face and I hope it does the same for you. Thanks to all the embellishments from Eyelet Outlet, it one truly shines!

Swirly Thanks

For many, Christmas is a time of family, friends, fun, celebration, and of course, Santa Claus with his presents!   We're just days away from the long-awaited day. But don't forget that after the presents comes the thank you.

Today's card entitled "Swirly Thanks" is a fast and easy card to have on hand for that special thank you.  There are four steps to this card:

* Create the card frame by scoring the card (from the inside) at 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch on each edge of the card front (top, bottom. and two sides).

* If desired, ink blend your favorite color around the frame of the card and lightly throughout the card front.  Using a colored card base eliminates the need to ink blend.

* Position and apply Eyelet Outlet's Black Pearl Swirls across the front of the card leaving room on the lower left for a sentiment.  Add the large swirl then add several additional swirl pieces as desired.  Place the Eyelet Outlet Red Glitter Enamel Dots at the beginning and ending of a swirl for additional interest and consistency.

* Add a thank you sentiment (stamped, die cut, or pre-made sticker) and the card is complete!
