You’ve all waited so incredibly patiently for 3 months, and it’s finally here, the Pinkfresh Studio October Release!! This release is packed with all sorts of yummy florals and beautiful dies, that you’re heart will feel pitter patter! Today, I’ll be showcasing the Folk Mandala stamp and die set in card.
As clean and simple as this card may appear, it was a coloring intensive card as I got quite ambitious! I stamped the folk mandala in each corner of the card in a dark brown hybrid ink, then colored it with copic markers. It may have taken awhile, but the result were beautiful.
I can see this working out to be a great one layer card, but I am addicted to dimension, so I had to add just a little bit with the sentiment. The folk mandala dies include this beautiful ‘just a note’ sentiment die. I die cut and added 4 layers of it, with the top layer being an ink blended piece with Worn Lipstick and Antique Linen distress oxide inks. I also used the Worn Lipstick ink to add a touch of splatter to the card.
This is just perfect for an every day kind of card to send!

AWESOME card
Now that is a delicious card. (Can cards be delicious? I’ve decided they can.) It’s nice to see the mandala colored in instead of just stamped in. It’s also nice to see it as a border stamp; I’m not sure I would have thought to use it that way. Thanks for all the fun ideas!
Gotta get this something from this great release. Just hard to figure out which one to pick. Your card is stunning!
This is a awesome way to use the Mandala stamp! It would probably take me about a month to color it all lol but you did an amazing job no matter how long it took. Maybe you should just frame it instead of sending it to anyone hehe. Thanks for sharing, it really is a cool design. (mardy14@bellsouth.net)
You are so clever to use the Madala images in such a perfect way! Am in LOVE with all the newest florals and fabulous die cut sentiments! Love ❤️ your simple and happy card!
Your card is simply stunning! I love your color choices and the softness of it. You really did do an amazing job.
Really gorgeous card
Beautiful card!
Simply beautiful! I love how you used the stamps to showcase your sentiment and the color combination you used!
Your card is stunning, your design is beautiful and so is your colouring! I love the way you added dimension with the sentiment and the ink blending you did on it looks awesome. I think the entire Pinkfresh release is really amazing!
Love this use of the mandala stamp — great idea to use it in the corners instead of as a round stamp. Love the coloring, too!
Keeway I always love your cards! They’re so pretty and beautifully coloured. This one looks like a design I’d want on a dainty cake
Such creative use of that stamp set, and I love your blended sentiment! So pretty!
Oh I love how you used these beautiful florals in the corners of your card to provide the most beautiful frame for your sentiment! Such a creative touch. I love the bright colors you used!
