Tried my hand at Zentangle today! It really is fun, but maybe not the best plan for someone with carpal tunnel syndrome. I used the top note die to cut out my outline in watercolor paper then did the doodles leaving the area outside the "stitching" white. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark and embossed in black, corners rounded then sponged with Real Red. The heart was punched with the Full Heart punch then embossed in the polka dot ef. I didn't have a chance to do this color challenge last week, but Black and White and Red seemed perfect for the zentangle.

I think you did an incredibly job with this zentangle card. I don't know how you can figure what to put where and what designs to use. Bravo in the beautiful card.

Wow, I've never done this before, but you've made it look amazing! I think I'll have to try - it looks so great in red, black and white, wonderful valentine!

I really like your card! I recently also tried Zentangles, but mine are just in a small notebook - never thought about making a card with them. TFS!
