Ornamental Mandala Monday

'Twas the Mandala Monday before Christmas, and thus it seems the perfect time for Dylusions Dyamond Boards... )Small Trees and Small Stars, to be exact) ...zen-doodled with my Letter It Fineliners, o'course! These are going to be tags on a few holiday presents; there is a possibility I will add a bit of color first, but I want to see them next to the wrapped gifts before deciding. 

In the meantime, I hope your Week Before Christmas is off to a productive and stress-free start! ♥

Dyamond Board Doodle Trees

It's a TREE-mendous Mandala Monday featuring a terrific TREE-o of Dylusions Dyamond Board Small Trees, doodled with Letter It Fineliners and then tinted with all my favorite green shades of Simon Hurley create Dye Inks. 

To make the trees into a card, I embossed Simon's Stitched Snowflakes background with Ranger's Cottontail Embossing Powder, applied Breakup Blue ink on top, then cleaned the excess ink off the embossed flakes.

A mat of dark blue cardstock, a sentiment from the Sketched Snowmen stamp set, and a little machine stitching complete the design.

As we cruise into the final full week of holiday preparations, I hope you're having fun getting ready for the big day (if you celebrate Christmas) or the big night (if you celebrate Hanukkah)!
