Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #501

This is seriously the last call for the last call! Today is your last chance to add the Christmas Snowflake Mandala stamp set to your collection. We have a new sketch challenge this week at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. From the moment, I saw the sketch I knew the large mandala snowflake would be a perfect fit. Here is the original sketch design for you to come play along-

I really think this large design can be either a snowflake or a poinsettia. I am going for more of a poinsettia look. Regardless the gold embossing and glitter gems is certainly holiday festive! To make the layers featured in the sketch, I stamped five of the images in VersaMark ink and heat embossed in gold. I then cut apart each layer and offset the layers on top of one another with 3-D foam tape. My sentiment is from the same stamp set. Super simple, with no coloring required.
