Another card for Dina's Left is Right Mix-Ability challenge. I used Perfect Pearls for an extra medium - so I have an inset showing how they sparkle when they catch the light .
Image stamped on Bristol Board and coloured with pencils. I rounded the top corners and sponged the edges with grey.
Base layer - using the hexagon stencil and my left hand for everything I traced the hexagons. Then I sort of cross-hatched them with grey pencils, and doodled in between each one. I stamped over each one in muted colours. Couldn't easily find the stencil I was going to use for the upper part of the card, so I used a circle one that I made myself for some challenge in the past, sponged Versamark through the circles and then dusted with Perfect Pearls and spritzed with water to set them. Here and there there are a few little white dots with my gel pen.
I put classical music on (a Beethoven string quartet) and found it made my left-handed doodling flow a bit more easily ;-).

Everything about this card is fantastic, Sabrina. I can't believe you used your left hand...the only thing I could do with my left hand was toss all of my failed attempts into the trash. The grey shading and all the doodling gives this card such a fun, lively feel. Right (or should I sat "left") into my favs.

I LOVE your doodling on your hexagon BG and penciling on your vases. Your vivid colors on your flowers really make your flowers pop too. Love it all. TFS Sabrina...

WOW, even "lefty", you really delivered on this challenge, Sabrina!! How you traced the hexagons, and then even doodled inside each of them , is fascinating! I guess I will have to try the Beethoven classics for inspiration, as I am still struggling with handing my left hand the markers to do any doodling!!!
