something new to me

Hi girls
I was having a wee nosey over on Less is More last night.  I always have a look but just never seem to have enough time to enter the challenge.  Anyway this week some of the cards on there really had me intrigued so let me explain why.
The challenge is for a one layer card but you must add some doodling.
Anyway Mandi and quite a few of the entrants had used a technique previously unknown to me
Zentangle.   There is a blog dedicated to it if you'd like a looksee.  Wow I'm in awe!!  Why have I never heard of this before?
Of course I had to have a play.


I began by stamping the flower part off the page and got to work with my fine liner.
Around thirty minutes later this is the result.  I'm fair chuffed with it too.
This is nothing compared to some of the entrants though so if, like me, you haven't a clue then just go nosey and be prepared to be amazed.  Oh the stamps are from Sparkle n Sprinkle.
Hun fun
