Ed059 Purple Mandala

I love making Emy's stitched designs - they have clear to follow illustrations and look fantastic when finished.

I reduced the size of the design slightly so I have fewer beads in the centre. I was making my Christmas cards when I bought this design so it just ended up in Christmas colours. I used green bugle and seed beads with white DMC embroidery thread for the centre of the design. I completed the design using green variegated DMC embroidery thread, opaque white bugle beads and silver seed beads.

I would suggest that you stitch the very centre circle before adding the beads but, otherwise, the design is quick and simple to make for an amazing gift.

Stitching with beads.

This pattern is not so difficult as it looks! I have used acryl ricebeads and pearls. Use cardstock of 120 grams. This card is for any occasion.
