Hello Friends, How’s it going? Today I dare you to try turning your doodles into something.
Use a lot of lines, circles and some loops are you will be surprised what you might come up with. Using some sharpies and something like this super fine tip marker and it’s really easy…just don’t think about what you are doing. This “Hugs” was perfect to add that little extra to my card base.
This is how my doodle started out…. kind of ugly right? that’s ok I agree!
You fine tune it and round out your circles etc.
Use the fine tip marker & some thicker markers to add some more lines and circles.
It’s always good to leave your doodle and come back to it to add a little more. Add some color if you want. I used some bic markers for this. I did take a lot of photos along the way if you want me to share a flipagram showing you the process. Let me know in the comment area.
Raise your hand if you are taking OnLine Card Classes “Stretch Your Dies” class? There is still time to sign up 🙂
Off to bed see ya’ all’ tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

Thanks for sharing this awesome challenge, Kathy! I have tried zentangle before but I have been intimidated to further my exploration. I guess I am too linear when I draw/sketch… give me straight lines or an image and I am typically good but give me a blank canvas/piece of paper and I cringe… Can you please give us a Flipagram? I feel it will help me better visualize and lose my fear of doodling (although I doodle when I don’t think about it. 😉
Thanks again!
Kathy Racoosin says
Yes will add it to tomorrows post 🙂
Barb says
AMAZING! ♥
Lucy Schmidt says
Amazingly spectacular and lovely. I doodle, but need to take your advice and not think about it too much. Thanks for the lovely display of what’s possible without a bunch of new stamps and products.
Dawn T says
My goodness Kathy! You are so talented. This is completely stunning
Elly Booij says
Very pretty.
Kelly Latevola says
Your card is beyond fabulous. We must have been sending telepathic crafty ideas because the card I did for today has doodles in it too. Not nearly as awesome as yours 🙂
Kathy Racoosin says
Yours is freaking unreal!! AND that is amazing we both were doing similar stuff!! LOVE LOVE yours 🙂
Milka says

Renee VanEpps says
OMG Kathy this is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have guessed your doodling was a stamp, that is so pretty how you did this 🙂
Peggy Pride says
This is amazing work. The colors are so brilliant and the doodling is so great. Thanks for inspiring us, I am relatively new to your work. Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner talked about you on their Q & A session. They were right—you are amazing!
Kathy Racoosin says
Awww thanks Peggy for making my day. A warm welcome to you 🙂
Marianne says
I haven’t done any doodling in years, but you make it look so easy … and awesome at the same time. I loved how my circles and shapes came out, so I guess I will have to try this too. I’m not taking the current OCC class, since I’m trying to revisit the Copics class while I colour along with you. There’s still so many things to try from all of the previous classes I have taken.

Tracy Bayley says
Hi Kathy, *raising hand high* I too am taking the Stretch Your Dies and even took up the offer for the A Cut Above class. Enjoying it so much. I love your ‘ZIA’/doodle card, especially the little flowers you drew – it breaks up the solid black lines. Last year i sent out a christma s card using one of my ’tiles’ – stuck it onto a card base and used a little bling on it to make it look christmassy – my friend loved it because it was handmade.

You have inspired me to give this a try really soon! I would live to see a Flipgram of the process. I love the totally great, bright colours you used to contrast with the black doodles.

Robin in WA says
Beautiful Kathy! Yes, I am taking the Stretch Your die cuts class this week. So far, it is amazing!!
barb macaskill says
Would love to see a Flipgram! I already posted my card for today but may give this a try either tomorrow or later this week! My doodles might scare you though! LOL I think I will have to get my paper and pens out and make a phone call to a friend I haven’t spoken to for a while. I do my best doodling when I am on the phone and not thinking about what I am doing.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Annette Hindes says
Very Cool!
Looks inviting to try!
A flip gram sounds fun if it’s not too much trouble
Gail Plaskiewicz says
I loved this! I didn’t do anything this intricate when I designed my sisters plain, boring, laundry bag that I bought her for Christmas but I did do Zentangle. The problem is the laundry bag ripped already and not at the seam! She’s mad and so am I.
I loved what you did! It’s so intricate but it’s not. That’s what I did in my high school art classes and that’s what my art teacher loved. I was never good at still life’s or faces but this stuff, I was so good at! Thanks for showing us! I can’t wait to see how you did it when you show the whole process.
Effie says
This is AMAZING!!!
Galina says
Amazing!!!
jerrie says

KT Fit Kitty says
Wow, this is really fabulous! I can’t even imagine doing something like this.
Tracey Magner says
love, love, this card amazing what doodles can make. I love the zentangles. which I learned from YOU by the way. Thanks.
Celeste Goff says
Wow! Kathy, this is simply amazing! You are so creative!
Tanya McAlexander says
This is so awesome, like really great to think you did it with Sharpies and Bic Markers…I really need to try and see what I can do when I don’t think about it….need to go see if I can find your flipagram as well….I love to see peoples processes and would love to watch more of your work on youtube videos or something, I am so happy to see them when they do get posted. You really are so talented
Kathy Racoosin says
Thanks so much Tanya. I did a flipagram for this on Day 16 🙂
Tanya McAlexander says
Yes I found it and I really really enjoyed it. You are so amazingly talented. Thank you for sharing your art and ideas with us.
irene grau says
Great art! Thanks again for the challenge!
Carol Mc says
Great card. I doodle but I always think they are to ugly to turn into
anything.
And yes, I am taking the Stretch Your Dies Class.
Sue D says
This turned out so cool!
Bobbie says
I’m raising my hand, I am loving the stretch your die class, but it hard to keep up. They are on day 7 and I am catching up on day 4. It takes so much time if you don’t have the same dies to look through them all to find something that would work. I feel like I’m behind in life because I am trying to keep up with your challenge and the class and just not fast enough. Loving your days of coloring and tangling. Thanks again for being here for us.

Awesome. I love it.
