I have a Mandala style design today created by using images from the beautiful Indian Textiles set. While this isn't as symmetrical as I wanted, it is bright & again I fun with these fabulous stamps.
I created the background by spraying Pink Dylusions Ink, spritzed with water & blotted. I blended Peacock Feathers Distress Ink around the parameter once it was dry. I stamped the main image four times with black Stazon ink & the small flower with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink between the main images. (click the photo to enlarge to see detail)
I bleached the main images and then coloured with Dylusion inks using a fine point water barrel brush. I spent some time with black pigment & white Gellyroll pens to highlight. I found the outlining relaxing & meditative which creating Mandalas should be. I edged the background with a Gold Leaf pen. I added lots of rhinestones and the metal center piece to finish the design.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

So beautifull! And a great idea! Greetings, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteYour positioning looks superb & I love that tone on tone stamping between your coloured motifs. The metal centrepiece echoes your gold edging beautifully & I just gasp when I see how you use colour - as I've said before - your matting always adds 'some thing' to your design so as to make the impact even stronger. A delicious creation - this is better than dessert for me!
