Monochrome Mandala

Morning Friends and Crafters, Today's card is a monochrome easel, I made it for the launch of the Die'sire Create a Card Easels, launched on Hochanda. This is such a strong design that I really wanted to show it off, I think it speaks for itself, without adding any fuss.

You Will Need:

Henna Easel Create a Card Die

Sentiment From the collection

Matt Black Card Stock

White/Silver Centura Pearl

Burgundy Mirror Card

Burgundy Satin Ribbon

Tacky Glue

Step 1: Cut your base card from black card.

Step 2: Cut the larger piece again from black and cut the design into it.

Step 3: Cut a base piece, wrap the ribbon around it and secure it at the back with red liner tape.

Step 4: Using both dies, cut a slim frame from the Centura Pearl. Secure this with tacky glue as shown, then trim the excess.

Step 5: Cut the design again in black card, select and cut out the design you require. Place this section back in the die along with a sheet of white Centura Pearl, run through with the embossing plates, trim and secure to the card with Tacky glue.

Step 6: Repeat this with the full design. Cut a large top shape in white. To finish, layer up the design and add the matching bow, this will also act as your stopper.

Here is the finished card.
