Just Doodling.....

Hello everyone: Some time ago, while browsing Pinterest, I discover the art of ZENTANGLE, which takes doodling to a whole new lebel. I was intrigued by the intricate designs on this awesome images and, as it often happens with something that tickle my curiosity, I went and Google'd it only to find a ton of blogs dedicated to this ultimate form of Doodling. I went ahead and bought a book, ZENTANGLE BASICS, which is really super cool.
In spite of what might appear as very complicated doodling, it's quite relaxing and surprisingly easy to do so, here is a card that was inspired by several challenges that I will link to at the end of this post.

This flower is from a stamp set by "The Cat's Meow" called "Beautiful Spring", I chose it because of the nice space provided by the petals, here is a picture of it before I started doodling on it.

Quite a change, don't you think? I went to my book to look for some designs and I just doodled away. I decided to make the center of the flower more vivid, I thought that by going with the black pen on this tiny strands would make them disappear, I really like the way it looks like this.

Here is a close up of this Zentangled flower.

I hope you can still see each little petal.

Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.

Both the sentiment and the Hot Air Balloon are from an old Flourishes set called "Lots of Thoughts"
