Together at Last!

As many of you know, I love stamping, but I have another love too.  It's Zentangle!  So when Stampin'Up! came out with the Blended Bloom stamp, I knew my two loves could be together at last.  The flower image is perfect to fill in with tangles of all kinds, but for this one I just added thick lines on each of the petals.  The black and white DSP is from the Stacked with Love paper stack (#137779) and the greeting is from the Photopolymer stamp set Better Than Email (#140463) Hope this inspires you to try something a little different with your stamps.  

Christmas Zentangle

As some of you know I love the art of Zentangle, which is usually done in black and white, but I thought I would try my hand at making a design with color.  Here's was I came up with:

For this card, I used a stencil for the main shape and then tangled the design.  Next, I added the color and some gold accents.  A little ribbon, a stamped greeting and wha-la.....not too bad for my first attempt!
