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!

Sweet release – love the rad grad stamp set😍
cool card–love the moody look.
Your card is really pretty! There are so many great products in this release. I think my favorite is the twinkle flower circle die, as well as all of the butterfly dies 🙂
There’s so many great products in this release but I really love the Heart Mandala die you’ve used here. Gorgeous card.
Beautiful card! I’m LOVING the colors! ❤❤ It’s hard to pic just 1 fav out of this great collection. However, I don’t have any background stamps & I love flowers so it would probably be the Center Cut Floral Background Stamp.
My favorite is the heart mandala! Love the whole release, though!
Love this release and I guess if I had to pick one favorite it would be the heart mandala, it is so delicate looking!
That card is amazing. I love the heart mandala the most if I have to choose.
your card is stunning ! this die is fantastic !! my favourite would be the center cut burst background stamp … but the heart mandala wafer thin die is so gorgeous … (how coud I chose just … one … ? 😉 )
The Heart Mandala is so beautiful! I love it!
