Hello | Simon Says Stamp Splendor

Hello, I hope you’re having a nice day!

Today’s card features the beautiful Half Spring Floral Mandala die from the Simon Says Stamp Splendor collection which I doubled up to create most of a full mandala.

I started by cutting the half mandala twice from Pastel Color Blend cardstock, which has a beautiful glossy finish, and twice from heavy white cardstock. I layered and glued each glossy piece over a white piece to create a bit of dimension.

Next, I stamped the You Are background stamp onto a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of white cardstock in a light gray ink. Then I used glue to adhere the two mandala pieces; I left the outer edges of the mandala unglued so that they lift away a bit from the background.

For the sentiment, I used the Handwritten Hello die set. I cut the detail layer twice, once from another piece of Pastel Color Blend cardstock and once from white cardstock. Then, I cut the shadow layer three times from white cardstock. I stacked and adhered the layers together and then glued the sentiment to an arched piece of white cardstock that I created using a die from the Nested Domed Arches die set. To finish, I glued the sentiment piece to the mandala and then glued the card front to a card base.

Thank you so much for visiting!
