Zendalas and more

Gotta admit, I was a little afraid of the Zendalas at first. Not sure why. The pre-strung are a great introduction. Although I initially only bought them cuz I had to have that tin! I'm going to try and include the names of the tangles I use from here out. I know I appreciate that information from others. Kind of a challenge to remember which I used sometimes and then variations of some...This first includes Maryhill, Striping, Cirquital, Jetties and Keeko.

I have several birthdays for friends and family coming up so next I needed to focus on cards. A friend of mine gave me some washi tape and watercolor "scraps" she had already die cut with the stamp shape. (Thanks B.J.) Why is it that someone else's scraps always look so much more enticing than your own? I decided to use the tape to mask the edge of the paper and keep the paper from warping while I tried out some watercoloring. The stamp used is Agapanthus Cluster from Stampendous. I used watercolor crayons by Lyra. I tried the technique on bristol as well (purple card). Different look, but still cool.

And I really needed a kid card for my grandson's birthday. Sorry, nothing original here, totally copied the idea from a Pinterest pin. I tried to go to the blog site after making the card so I could give credit, however the pin has been blocked as it apparently links to inappropriate material. So I won't link to take you there! Cute card, just not my idea.






Now back to Zentangle®... Ahhh.... This second Zendala uses Rixty, Striping, Beadlines and Tortuca. I hope you enjoy.
