Twinchie Doodles

The theme for the Twinchie Challenge this week is to do some doodling so here is my Christmas Tree twinchie.
I used TH Distress ink in Evergreen Bough through a tree stencil, outlined the tree and doodled in it. I then added doodled lines around the border and that is it done.
I hope you like it.

Countdown : 116 days

There are only 116 days until Christmas, a scary thought in August when the sun is still shining!
There is a new challenge on the Fun with ATCs blog where the theme is black, white and red and I ended up with this ATC, it wasn't intentional, it just happened. Earlier in the week I found a die cut bauble and started doodling zentangle patterns on it. When I saw the black, white and red theme for this challenge I thought I'd enter just for fun.

Recipe :
Die cut bauble, zentangled.

Red pearl embellishment
Additional doodling around the edges of the ATC to finish it off by me.

Doodles

Zentangles are structured patterns, drawn by hand and usually filling in white space. Some people describe it as doodling. Doodles are unfocused, sometimes unconscious drawings which doesn't quite fit with structured patterns but the patterns themselves are often unplanned, at least they are for me. This card started off as an experiment with a Dreamweaver stencil of a cat. I just decided he might look good with zentangle patterns and was quite pleased with the results so made it into a card. I left it black and white as black cats are supposed to be lucky and mounted it on red textured cardstock just to get a little pop of colour.

Materials :

Dreamweaver Stencil LL3020

Sakura Black Micron pen

Ribbon and cardstock from stash

Good Luck die cut sentiment from Craftwork Cards

The Less is More Challenge for week 120 is a theme, the cue card is Cats and/or Dogs so I shall enter this one for that challenge. Lets see if anyone likes it.
