Maybe I got a bit carried away, but it felt good to use some metallic paper scraps, as I have a whole bin of only those. I love metallic paper!
I did three pieces for Monday's TLC, had such a good time putting those little dots on the paper. I need more practice. I did two small ones and one big and I wanted use one of the small ones today. Hence, all the layers to make it work.
I used pencil erasers and tooth picks for my mandala tools. Even though I know mandalas should be symmetrical, I usually screwed that up early on and they ended up being rather free form. Not great art, but what can I say? The thin pieces of patterned paper are a Brusho background from stash. I had a lot of fun making this work; crazy but it works for me. Nine layers of crazy, not counting the sentiment. Four layers for that!

You're smart to have tried a smaller one - I was kind of wishing I had. The layering looks great with your spot-on colour matching. Love that dinky little star under the sentiment.

GReat way to do the challenges, and to use metallic paper. I love all those layers and your mandala.
