Hi everyone, I recently received my new stamps from Magenta and now have this beautiful Mandala Ornament stamp. When I opened it the first thing that came to mind was gold watercolour paint.
I sprayed Nuance powders mixed with water to create the background, once it dried I stamped the image using Versafine Claire and used clear embossing powder to create the image. I removed some of the background colour with bleach and then watercoloured using the finetec gold and silver watercolours. this was a great idea for mass producing cards, I love the effect of the gold.
I used the following stamps:-

Great idea to use the mandalas as Christmas ornaments! Such a pretty card!
Gorgeous gold mandala ornaments, Christine. Very unique and beautiful Christmas card. TFS Hugs...Nancy
I know, I know (arm flailing in the air 😂)... you thought mandalas would make great ornaments and you were right. Very creative. Great card and use of the bleaching technique.
Nuance is new to me and I looked it up. It made a pretty background for the mandala's. Using them as ornaments is such a good idea and they just sparkle with the gold and silver paint. You could make them for your tree and wouldn't they be spectaular when the light hits them.
This is stunning Christine. I love the colors you used.
What a great idea, Christine! The mandalas now look very festive and you have created a really beautiful card!
Thanks for taking part in the October Rudolph Days Challenge.
They made gorgeous ornaments! So creative and clever, Christine! Love the blue background and the dots in the background. xx
Very pretty ornaments, Christine! I love how the ornaments shine against that rich background! The background stamping adds the feeling of texture. Great Christmas card!
I think you are going to have me shopping again and I need to stop spending a bit! Love that sentiment and love those mandalas. They look fabulous in your silver and gold. I love this! Will have to put them on my wish list for later.
Beautiful card, I love the images of the mandalas, and yes they make fabulous baubles, and the colouring is gorgeous, wonderful background too, Kate x
Such a fun idea to use the mandalas for the Christmas ornaments. They look so pretty and love the bling x
These Mandara ornaments are gorgeous, Christine! Gold and silver watercolroing looks so beautiful against the rich ocean color background. The subtle sentiment stamping in the background is a wonderful touch!

Oh, wow, they make fabulous ornaments! I'd gladly hang these on my tree! Love the embossing and the gold metallic paint. Very pretty, Christine!
Sooo so pretty! Love your colour combo and great design! That gold really pops aginst the blue with the black. Love it Christine!
How clever and so gorgeous!
Brilliant post and fabulous design, trying to play 'catch up' after being away.xx

What a great stamp with the mandalas as baubles Christine and in such an array of pretty colours with that gorgeous shine of the gold, and the background is beautiful too. x
A wonderful combination of colors. Gold contrasts so beautifully against your beautiful blue background.
