I have lots to share over the next few weeks but I thought I’d pop in with a quick card to celebrate the new release!
I created this kinda moody thanks card using the GORGEOUS new Heart Mandala die! You’ve seen this as a stencil and now it’s available as a stunning die! This die cuts like a dream…one flick of my finger and all the little extra pieces easily popped out! And that’s a total win for me!
Anyway, I started by blending stream, silver mixative, pitch black, and slate grey alcohol inks onto a piece of yupo paper and used alcohol blending solution and an air puffer to move them around. Once I was happy I set it aside to dry and die-cut the Heart Mandala with black cardstock. At the same time I also die-cut the Big Thanks word die from black cardstock and the word outline die from black glitter paper.
Once the alcohol ink was dry I used liquid adhesive to adhere the stencil and sentiment to the alcohol ink panel. Then I trimmed the alcohol ink panel down and matted it on a A2 black panel which was then adhered to a card base! I finished the card with a few silver and black gems for a little sparkle. I ran out of time this weekend but I think I’m going to try this design in different color palettes…I think it’d be equally interesting in pinks and golds with white cardstock or coral and grey with black cardstock! Hmm…
To celebrate the Fluttering By release I’d love to send someone a $20 gift certificate to do a little shopping! To enter, leave me a comment and let me know your favorite item in the Fluttering By release before 11:59PM EST on Sunday, April 15th, 2018 and the winner will be posted on my winners page next week!

Beautiful release and a gorgeous card! I especially like the looks of CZ’s mom stamps and dies, but everything looks wonderful.
So hard to pick one fav…I guess the Butterfly Shimmer would be first on my list with several close seconds!
To pick one item from this set is hard. I love all the mandela’s so technically one item. Lol. I love your card and cant wait to play with alcohol inks. I haven’t gotten any yet. 😊
Such a beautiful card, this die is amazing but out of my price range.
Love LOVE the center cut floral stamp – I think I’m gonna have to buy this one!
The Stitching Butterflies is my favorite from the release.
Love all the CZ stamps but my all time favorite is the Picture Book Lion. I adore these Picture Book dies!!
I can’t wait to get my hands on the Center Cut Flowers background stamp (and the other two new background stamps, too)!
Gorgeous card with a fantastic background! Love the bits of sparkle 🙂 Great Simon release!
Love that gorgeous Heart Mandala die! Beautiful card!
My favorite is the Flickering Butterfly Circle Die!
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing, I really love that Twinkle flower circle die!
Gorgeous card! I’ve looked at my Heart Mandala stencil so many times & wished that I had a die, but always figured that it was too delicate. Soooo happy to see this die! But, I’ve gotta say, that Center-Cut Flower stamp looks intriguing! A border, a focal, and a BG stamp all in one! Oh, the possibilities!
What a stylish colour combo you have here, very sophisticated and love the die-cut in black!!
Beautiful card! I already bought the die (and so much more!) Your alcohol ink backgrounds are just so lovely. Love this release… a little TOO MUCH 😮 My poor credit card!
Love this new release and LOVE your card! It’s hard to pick a favorite…probably the center cut flowers. That looks very versatile! I think I NEED it!
I love the color combination of the alcohol inks used in your card. It came out beautiful.
My favorite item in the release is the HEART MANDALA Wafer Die.
Fabulous release! My favorite is that heart mandala wafer thin die. It’s E V E R Y T H I N G!
Wow, to choose, well it is all just fabulous but if I have to pick just one it would have to be the Mandala wafer thin die, soooo pretty. Love your colours, G O R G E O U S love Jane x
So many gorgeous items, but I have to say the Heart Mandala is my absolute favorite!! This card is stunning!
Gorgeous work. Loving all the rubber stamps, but I’m a sucker for geometrics, so that triangle stencil is my favourite.
Gorgeous card! I love your background!
My favorite is Simon Says Stamp BUTTERFLY SHIMMER Wafer Dies s547 Fluttering By but it is so hard to pick!
the flickering butterfly – it makes a wreath of butterflies.
Love to use butterflies on my greeting cards. This
will be different and pretty.
