Layered Mandala Thanks ~ Unity Sketch Challenge ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a bit of inspiration for the December Sketch Challenge over at the Unity Show & Tell Facebook group!! I couldn't wait to ink up the beautiful new Layered Mandala... there are SO many possibilities with this beautiful set!

A simple design using a kraft, white and light blue color palette.

I stamped the center and third layers together as they came in the kit with clear embossing ink and then melted Alabaster white embossing powder. Didn't realize the second layer in between wouldn't quite line up right... but I love the variation it gives to the pattern!

Love the font for the sentiment... I embossed it on the light blue card stock using clear embossing ink and Alabaster White embossing powder.

The white A2 top fold card base was stamped using the center layer with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.

A simple thank you card with a hint of a wintry vibe... a perfect thank you for a holiday gift.

Here's a look at the December Unity Sketch! Please remember the sketch is meant to inspire, not require... have fun with it! I can't wait to see what you all create with this sketch!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
