Beverly(ruby-heartedmom) gave me a REAL challenge today in the Way To Use It (WT) Challenge. It's a style used on some ATC cards...Zentangle(lots of doodling). I don't create ATC cards, I don't doodle and I rarely sketch...SO this was a GREAT stretch for me. Those of you Artists will be in your heyday with this one!
I saw that one of the examples Beverly pointed us to used color...so I thought "good deal". I don't think my card is a wonderful example of "Zentangle". Since Bev had gone to the trouble to create a challenge while she was on the road, I thought I should bring myself up to try to create something!

Wonderful look using that pop of color and some word images to bring it all together. I am determined to try my first today because of this challenge. Great job.

Well, I think you did great! I never heard of this technique before, and I'm not sure if I can get to it this week. But, good for you! It turned out beautifully!

I love this--the newsprint and the border punch you chose are perfect accompaniments--and you did just what the challenge said--you embellished with black ink! Gorgeous!
