Dotted Mandalas

 Hi there!

Here to share the last of my cards for the Altenew May release!

These cards features the Dotted-mandala bundle . A wonderful stamp set to create multiple cards in one go, and a different look can be achieved just by changing the colors. For today's cards, I went with a monochromatic look. I can't wait to play with more color combinations!
