the STAMP DOODLING technique

When I saw today's challenge I not only vehemently thought "NO" but "H-E-double hockey sticks NO!" . . . but you can't conquer a fear if you don't face it . . . so here is my attempt at doodling (see description for full story):
I kept my mitts off a complete coloring job and made a "smoke" dry embossed background for my friendly camping bear, Fred. I love campfire s'mores! Here's S'mores Anyone?

After some false starts with the doodling, I wandered a little afield from doodling with the actual stamped image and made a doodled background with white crayon for a watercolor resist. So I got to try two new (to me) techniques at the same time.
Not sure why I had such a hard time just doodling but I did! Obviously I need more practice... Also, the word "doodle" sounds sillier the more I type it....doodle doodle doodle...
Not one to let a word or concept defeat me, I decided to try one more . . .but this time I had a plan and that made it a little easier - the plan was if it turned out horrible I could just chuck it in the garbage and no one would ever know . . .lol . . . Here is my 2nd attempt:
This is my first SCS Challenge and I found it, well, challenging!
I'm a color-inside-the-lines sort of person so this was hard for me. I must have sat, pen in hand, poised over my image for at least 10 minutes before I could bring myself to start doodling! You might have thought I was contemplating a life-or-death decision!
Isn't that funny?! Oh, how free it feels to be such a rebel!!!
I doodled the border and the musical notes...not all that much but a great accomplishment for someone who NEVER colors outside the lines!
