Warning, if you are a Zentangle purist or a perfectionist - don't bother looking at this card!
I discovered the prettiest card in the gallery the other night and it was a Zentangle. I looked at the challenge description (WT271) and a short video and decided to try it. It was late, and I just used the blue ink pen sitting on the counter. It would have come out so much better if I had used a brown marker (I know Zentangle is supposed to be black and white....). This was super fun, I will have to try it with the "real" tools soon.

The Zentangle tecnique is a new one that I haven't heard of before so I haven't a clue as to what the rules are! Regardless, your card is a real eye catcher and I love all the accents, colors, and details.

I'm I turning into a Nutzi too as I've never heard of Zentangle? Oh, I'm out of commission for just a short while here and already I'm not in "the know"!! Whatever it is or isn't, I'm lovin' what you've done here Nutz!! What a totally awesome creation and I LOVE the sentiment in the punch out!! Probably because it's a "punch" out - get it??? Oh well, I'm trying to be funzi!! HUGZI!

Oh yeah! The 'wild side' of the zentangle! You go Nancy! I love this- so bright and perfectly doodled up! Your doodled frame is Mutnik-worthy! (Huge compliment ya know!) Love the cutout shape, beautiful blooms and wonderful button. Zen-gorgeous! LYMI!
