Mandala Thank You...Inkspirational Challenge #164~Photo Challenge

Hello,

My blogging is rather sporadic of late. Reason: officiating bike race after bike race after bike race...as well as doing some behind-the-scenes support with the new road bike coordinator. My 'volunteering' has nearly become 'full time' (minus the salary *grin*) and I'm loving it! Best part: a significant number of races are scheduled in/around where my mom lives, which means plenty of visits with her AND my darling niece and nephew! Yayyy!

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #164~Photo Inspiration.  Isn't this image fantastic?  Vibrant, sunny, organic...oh, the possibilities....


Please drop by to see how this marvelous piece of art inspired my teammates; their creations are amazing:


Shape and colours caught my eye and I *had* to give some long-neglected stamps some major TLC...


Concord & 9th: Many Mandalas

That's it from me! 

Looking forward to seeing your translations of this photo!

Thank you for dropping by!

Oh it's so good to see you, Carol! I'm so glad you are having a blast with the bike races. How wonderful that you can help the new road bike coordinator. This is something you are obviously so passionate about and I'm thrilled for you to immerse yourself it the sport/hobby. Thank you SO very much for all the love you have left on my Instagram regarding my recent projects. I've said it before, but your kindness and generosity sure do lift me up and I thank you so much. Your card here is beautiful. I love mandalas. I'm drawn to them for their symmetry and beauty. This one is so colorful and lovely. I'm going to have to check out that stamp set! I hope you have a fantastic day! Oh and I love that you are able to see your beloved family more often, too. Bright and happy bonus! Big hugs! :)

This is so very elegant and the colours layered up look amazing. Great colour choices. I do like this take on the photo-not just using the oranges-unique and inspired!

Of course! A mandala is the perfect take on this photo. I honestly don't know how you make such clean and detailed cards - this is stunning.
