Hello crafty friends. I’m back with a look at another of the mini mandala square dies from ClarityCrafts, this time set 1. I decided to simply use the middle die from the set as a frame for my stamped image – it’s a perfect fit for one of ‘Linda’s Advent Treasures’ stamps. 

I kept it very simple with the emphasis on the frame for this one. The first step was to stamp the tree image onto a card blank, heat emboss it with gold powder and then use ‘rustic wilderness’ Distress Oxide and a waterbrush to shade it in.

I die cut the middle frame twice, once in gold and the second in white, layered them together and attached them to the card front.

I left it without a sentiment, so the frame is the star of the show! Don’t miss Paul’s shows with these dies today on Create & Craft TV at 6pm and 9pm – there’s be loads of inspiration!
