ZenDoodle

I never thought I was a doodler.
I used to try, and it would look terribly unappealing...and eventually gave up. That was until a stamping friend of mine, Darla Doodles, started talking about ZENTANGLES I liked what I saw and was really curious.
So, I put the Zentangle Kit on my wish list for Christmas last year, and it's all history now.
I love to doodle, I love the way it looks, I love that it is quick, easy and non-messy. And, I really like to make cards from them.
I still seem to take some really bad pictures, so these seem to be a bit blurry, but I hope you get the idea.

These first two I did while I work. I spend 8 hours a day on the phone. I have a bit of free time between calls and while on hold....so I Zentangle/Doodle. I didn't happen to have my Zentangle pens with me, so I grabbed a couple of Sharpie markers that were handy and started doodling on the pad of scratch paper on my desk. I decided to tear the edges and outline them with the marker. I really liked how they turned out, so I brought them home and decided to make cards out of them.

This one I drew right onto the colored card stock. I really like the black and green together. Adding that little bit of aqua matting really made it pop.
