Hello…hello Friends!! How are you? Sorry it’s been a bit since my last post…sorry ! I had the opportunity to travel to Utah for some crafty time and it was so fun and inspiring. Now if only there was more time in day to get crafty. Today I have a quick card and a flash sale. Be sure to scroll all the way down so you don’t miss a thing.
It was soooo fun and so relaxing to Zentangle the skirt on this stamp and the background. To soften the background I used some heavy vellum after I finished my doodling. The sentiment is from Simon and was perfect for what I needed.
When I am in idle mode and a pen is in my hand I doodle. The Zentangle books are what I call organized doodles. If you think you can’t doodle something beautiful I would have to argue with you. The beginner book is a great way to start. For this particular image I wanted to add color first. To add texture to her hair I used a rag with some blender solution.
I used markers from this set because the markers have the right thicknesses and a variety too. For the thicker lines I used this but, you can use anything.
To use the smaller dash looking lines is an example of a thinner marker….a more detailed marker. It’s amazing what just some dots and dashes can do. Below Online Card Classes are having a first time EVER sale.

Oh wow Kathy…that is jaw dropping gorgeous! I would have never thought to add zentangle to that stamp. You are an inspiration to all of us. Now I need to put down my watercolor brushes and drag out my pens. I feel a need to start doodling on everything!
Hi Jo Ann, Thanks for the chuckle 🙂
Thanks for the fabulous Zentangle inspiration! Am checking my local bookstore to see what they have in stock! Love the awesome effect you created, especially on the skirt.
Kathy, WOW, you are AMAZING as always. I love following your blog, I get so much out of it, I thank you for that, I have never heard of Zentangle before, I went right over to the simon says website to buy it but it is out of stock bummer. I love that look I’m a bad doodler. I have that and all the prima doll stamps so I can’t wait to try this out. Have a good weekend all.
Yay Tracey that’s exciting. Check out this blog for free inspiration. She’s also the author of many of the Zentangle books. :)http://blog.suzannemcneill.com/
This is beautiful! Love the combination of the 2 arts 🙂
I have done Zentangle, but have never thought of it working with stamped images! Now I’m thinking in a whole different way about tangling! Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring!!!
Wow! Your zentangel is AMAZING!!!! Just stunning!!!
I just love what you did with this stamp. Adding the zentangle really was the icing on the card! I must get this stamp. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Kathy! She is just gorgeous. I love your coloring and zentangle doodles, they really give great dimension to her clothes.
Amazing, Kathy! You are just creatively transforming something plain into something fabulous! Using this skill, many plain stamps can be used in more ways!
Amazing!
This is gorgeous! You are amazing 🙂
Love the combo of Zentangle with the stamped and Copic’d image! It really is so very ZEN…
Wow, this is awesome, Kathy.
Eeeeyow! This is so gorgeous – the coloring and the zentangling!
WHAT? You drew the design on the skirt by free hand? I thought it was masking/stamping! WOW, Kathy! I tell you….you always blow me away, but me do that too?? Yeah, I don’t see that happening. I’m lucky if I color inside the line. (ha,ha)
that was the perfect touch to turn a stamp into extraordinary!
You are a very talented lady. Thank you for sharing that with us all.
The tangles look great with the doll. Fantastic
I just bookmarked this post cos the doll is just too cool with those tangles. Hope to give this a go. I’ll let you know if I do. Thanks for the great step by step. Big hugs
