Z is for Zentangle at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers

Happy Saturday!!! and it's a great day as there is a NEW challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, Z is for Zentangle.  I have never created a Zentangle and it was very interesting to search Pinterest for some ideas, then we would love to see how you zentangle. Now I used a Mandela template I found on Pinterest and then I played with a few designs on a scrap of paper before I went "live".

I went with the traditional black ink on white cardstock, did some layering with my classic squares and scalloped square and elevated it on some bo-bunny patterned paper.

Closer look at the image.

Thanks for stopping by today and head over to the SoSS blog check out the rules for entering and have a look at the fabulous designs my teamies have made.

Challenge #109 Zentangles Continues at The Cheerful Stamp Pad.

As with the first week of the challenge I was mesmerized by the elephant and had so much fun creating the card, this week I couldn’t decide which other image I wanted to use……..so I did two. The Cheerful Stamp Pad would like to to join us for this awesome Zentangle challenge. The sponsor is Sweet Pea Stamps if you haven’t checked out their great stamps and digis from many fabulous designers. Both my images were from Norma J. Burnell digis.,

  

As you see I did a Halloween card (you can never be too early for them) the image is named Treat Hummer. coloured with my Spectrum Noir pastel alcohol markers. Some patterned paper from a Halloween stack pad and a scrap that was on my table. Orange and white bakers twine (a scrap fest purchase) to finish it off.

Second card (too bad both cards couldn’t be blogged first) is also from Norma J Burnell and is named Cat’s Cradle. coloured with the SN pastel alcohol markers. I added the flourish to accent the flourishes in the background paper.

Couldn’t leave without a close up of the beautiful image.
Thanks for spending some time here today and I hope you like my Zentangles. It would be lovely to see your idea of the Zentangle challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad.

Welcome to a NEW Challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad

Challenge #109 at The Cheerful Stamp Pad is Zentangle Sweet Pea Stamps and Sweet Pea Stamps is the sponsor for the two week challenge. I chose the elephant digital image from Courtney McAnsh digital Stamps. I coloured it with my spectrum noir markers, it came out a bit darker than I wanted but I’m happy with it.

I cut the image and layer with the spellbinder rectangle large dies added the Fleur Dis Lis border punch edge and a band of pink ribbon. Everything except the patterned paper was from my scrap box, even the base.
