Wonderful Mum

Hi there

Today I'm sharing the card I recently made to send to my wonderful mum for her birthday.

After making this card recently, I still had the pot of texture paste on my desk so thought I'd make another using texture paste, ink and a stencil.

Here it is...


I placed the mandala stencil onto a white cardstock panel and then squished three shades of Distress Ink onto my blending matt and mixed each, one by one, with matte texture paste and spread it through the stencil.  I absolutely love how the white paste completely changes the colours of Distress Inks.  The pink in the centre is in fact Wilted Violet, the lavender shade is Blueprint Sketch and the minty green in Lucky Clover!

Once dry I die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die.  I was worried the paste would flatten going through the Big Shot but the die must have taken the majority of the pressure so there is plenty of texture left on the surface.


I embossed the sentiment in white onto a vellum panel which I wrapped around the panel and secured on the reverse.  The 'wonderful' was die cut three times and stacked up, the top layer being white fine glitter cardstock.  I then finished by popping up the panel on fun foam.

Materials used:

  • Stencil: Studio Katia - Mandala
  • Embossing Paste: Dreamweaver
  • Ink: Distress Ink - Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Lucky Clover; VersaMark
  • Stamp: Papermania - Relations (serif)
  • Embossing Powder: Wow! - Opaque Bright White
  • Dies: Reverse Confetti - You're So; Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles
  • Vellum and cardstock from stash

Challenge entries:

Thank you for visiting, I may be back later today with another make.  And hopefully I'll be sharing more soon as I really need to get a wriggle on and make some Christmas cards!

    tawoja card looks stunning. I love the final effect of how DI worked with embossing paste. Great colors, so different from the original colors. A great design. Your mother certainly feels your love for her.
