Translucent Zentangle

Zentangling can be fun, but it requires patience. Since you are drawing repetitive patterns, many find it calming, which in turn leads one to achieve a state of "zen." Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Translucent Florals

Paper:

   Granny Apple Green A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Granny Apple Green

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Always Artichoke

Technique:

   Zentangling

Accessories:

   Micron 03 Archival Ink Pen

   Glitter Enamel Dots

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then stamped the translucent leaves randomly around the card front, using Granny Apple Green.

Next, I stamped the smaller leaves in the blank spaces, using Always Artichoke ink.

Using the Micron 03 pen, I zentangled one cluster of leaves with different patterns.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Granny Apple Green card front.

Lastly, I added a couple of Glitter Enamel Dots next to the sentiment and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

There is a tutorial on this technique at Split Coast Stampers: Zentangling. You will find written instructions as well as a video. 

First, I stamped each image on a Whisper White panel.

I then drew or doodled patterns on each one.

Next, I rounded the corners with a Corner Rounder Punch.

I sponged each panel, and adhered them to an Apricot Appeal matte.

Next, I dry embossed the Almost Amethyst DSP panel and adhered the image panels, overlapping a corner as shown above.

I then adhered the panel onto the Apricot Appeal card front and added a Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

Lastly, I added a sentiment above the cat. This can be left off and used as an all occasions card.

I am so excited that you decided to pay me a visit. Please Contact Me if I can be of service.
