Mandala!

Recently, I was scoping out fellow Cal-gals' Tracy's blog. She has a new fondness for mandalas that got me spurred to go on a search for my own. These are so fun but do take some patience!

Working with my colored image, Crate Paper's Restoration paper and the Card Patterns 109 sketch, this masculine card came together quickly. I really like the mix of colors here! It is masculine without reaching for a car, boat or hunter stamp...woo hoo!


Here is a link to a slew of mandalas you can review and color yourself. If you do one, please let me know...I'd love to see it!

Positive note of the day: Brad got our car de-stinkafied yesterday (don't ask).
