Hi! I made this card for today's ways to use it challenge: to try our hands at Zentangle! We were to use black ink to embellish our cards.
After watching the video, and trying to doodle something, (doodling is not my thing! I'm rarely happy with freehand shapes that I do; they aren't symetrical or graceful or pretty-- they're just plain ugly lines!) I decided I would be brave and submit my image.
I thought it looked like some weird bug, so I added a face to it and placed it on top of a sizzex tulip which I rearranged so it looked like legs on the bottom and sides and a flower sticking up on top.
I doubt if I would EVER send this to anyone, or give it to anyone to send, but I thought I would at least post it in the gallery.
Tfl and have a wonderful day!

Ack - I thought that even though it was the first blue bar I'd seen for a while, at least when I clicked on it I'd get to see it. I'll try to remember to come back. I am like you, I just do NOT do freehand doodling. Even dots don't come naturally.
Looking forward to seeing your bug instead of the evidence of a gallery gremlin.

I think you're being way too hard on yourself. This is fab and fun and the cute red heart on the cheek is awesome!
