HOOKED ON MANDALAS PART 1

I have been hooked on Mandalas this past week. I did one and then realized it would make a beautiful card. I bought blank cards at Hobby Lobby and made two packs of 10, with envelopes and put them in a zip lock.


This is my favorite. It's made completely of little circles. Here is my first set......


I love the little self adhesive jewels I found.


You can definitely tell they are free hand, as my lines aren't that straight, but I think that makes them better....don't you.


I did use a stencil that has different sizes of circles, which I added inside each other.....and...


....then with a pencil I made the basic shapes......


....and finally went over it with black pen and colored them in.


I added the embellishments last. I like that mistakes are easy to hide.


I think they came out pretty good.


I think I'm going to send them to some special people!


Come back tomorrow to see the other set of ten.
