Stampendous/Dreamweaver Doodlie-Doo - Day 5

6/5/2015

7 Comments

 
By now, I'm hoping you've tried your hand at Doodlie-Doo-in' and find it relaxing and fun!  My card today was actually created before the feather tag of yesterday.  I hadn't doodled in quite a long time and once I pulled the Zen Butterfly (go figure) scrap out of my Dreamweaver drawer, I was immediately inspired.  It was in my scrap drawer not because I was discarding it, but because it was meant to come back to later.

Here's my little Doodlie-Doo for you today:
Picture
The Dreamweaver Zen Butterfly was originally a monoprint, which is similar to the letterpress technique without dry embossing it through a diecut machine. The print was made with Memories Mists Mango Lemonade and was the perfect starting piece for this project!  The Zen butterfly stencil was laid in place and taped at the top with removable tape (3M).  I used the Faber-Castell Artist Pitt Pen (XS) to outline the butterfly and then removed the stencil in order to fill in with doodles/tangles.  Since I don't tangle very often, it's quite the challenge to look at a blank butterfly and imagine how to add designs!!!   I just started on one side of the top wing and it grew from there.  Pinterest was my go-to reference for ideas.

I wanted to fill in the the area behind the butterfly and the beauty of doodling is hand drawn lines are okay!  I like that they are a little wavy and wonky.  The bold outer line was filled in as a border to ground the hand written sentiments.  Pinterest to the rescuse for inspiring messages that worked with butterflies!  To finish the card, I mounted it on card stock from my stash (A Muse) and added Stampendous Micro Black Glitter with a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen and Stampendous Gold Dot Sparklers Class A Peel Stickers.

I'm hoping you'll try doodling and stay with it because it goes through so many stages before it's finished.  Try not to pre-judge your doodles.  You'll know when it's done and whether it makes it to a card front.  See it through and enjoy the journey!  For more Zentangle ideas specifically using stencils, check out  Zentangle 6: Terrific Stencils and Cards by Suzanne McNeill.  This book offers fascinating ideas for using Dreamweaver Stencils© to make memorable personalized greeting cards.  

It's time to hop on over to the next designer but before you go, l'd love hearing from you!
