It’s LoveFest time over at Splitcoaststampers and Taylored Expressions is hosting one of the challenges! You can read exactly what the challenge is here (and find out what the prizes are!).
For my card I actually started things a little backwards. I made the layout first and then decided I wanted to Zentangle the main white panel so after all of the other pieces were already cut out and partially assembled I took the white panel upstairs out of the craft cave to the dining room table and set out doodling all sorts of flowers. My inspiration came from this YouTube video by mikiverevikim. She has a wonderful collection of doodle videos that I just adore!
After the doodled background was done the card went together in a snap and I LOVE how it came out. I Zentangle a LOT but rarely do anything with the finished product. Now I think I’ve found an avenue to connect to things I love. đ
Here are the details on the supplies I used:
Stamps: Wispy Wishes (Taylored Expressions)
Ink: Colorbox Frost White
Dies: Friendship Blooms (Taylored Expressions), Banner Stacklets 1 (Taylored Expressions)
Paper: Choice Snow White (Taylored Expressions), Black (Bazzill), Vellum (Recollections)
Accessories: Stardust Gel Pen (Sakura), Multiliners .1, .5, .8 (Helix), foam tape, Best Glue Ever, button (MFT), Twine (Taylored Expressions), White Embossing Powder (Taylored Expressions)

This turned out beautifully and guess what? I normally don’t even like zentangling! To me it usually looks messy and not very elegant. I guess I just have t seen the really good stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous. Love B & W cards and the clean lines, vellum sentiment tag and fabulous flowers are perfection đ well done!
Totally love your zentangle, I am totally new to this and have been doodling in an art book but find myself struggling, think I am overthink the process. Your card is beautiful

Zentangle is huge over here in Europe but I’ve never seen it incorporated into a card before! Great idea and your card is beautiful!
