Hi there everyone!
Today I will be sharing a card set with you featuring products from Birch Press Design.

For my cards today, I have used the Thankful Mandala Stamp Set.

I heat embossed three panels in Antique Gold Embossing Powder
Next, I used Altenew Brush Markers in Desert Night, Persian Blue and Lagoon.
You can watch the video at the end of this post to watch me colour these.

What I did was I scribbled colours onto the watercolour cardstock in ring form and then spritz the panel very liberally with water. I also used a watercolour brush to move some of the colour around. I set this aside to air dry. 

Once the panel was dry, I cut the panel in half and then cut out rings out of it. I then adhered these to the card on different levels of foam tape.

Next, I die cut the Sugar Script You Die in DCWV Gold Glitter Cardstock. I layered this up to make it sturdy. To finish, I heat embossed an accompanying sentiment on a black strip and tucked it under "you".

I followed the same technique to make my second card. I just changed the layout to landscape.

For the sentiment, I used Sugar Script Thanks Die.

To make this gatefold card, I took a 9" x 6" piece of cardstock which I scored at 2.25" and 6.75".

I adhered the half mandalas onto each flap/gate. For the belly band, I took a strip of vellum and wrapped it around loosely, gluing it together at the back.
To finish, I adhered the die cut "Thanks" onto the vellum strip.
