I wanted to create another card for Misti's CAS396 Pumpkin Patch challenge. I have been wanting to create a piece of Zentangle® Art that reflects the fall season and thought the card would work for her challenge.
As you can see, the card contains two pumpkins which go well with a fall leaf. To create the card, I used the Sizzix Leaf Die to cut out a leaf from Solar White card stock. I retained the negative to use for the card front. I began creating my Zentangle® art piece by stamping an autumn leaf in the center of the leaf cutout.
To create my tangles, I decided to not use an official string, which is the norm. I let the stamped leaf be my guide. I selected several official tangle patterns, got into a Zen frame of mind, and started tangling. After drawing my selected official tangles, I used Copic Sketch Markers to color the tangles that create my leaf.
Remember the negative that I put to the side? I embossed it with a vines EF, attached it to the card front, inserted the Zentangle® art piece into the negative, and added two pumpkins to complete the card.
I hope you enjoy the card, and I greatly appreciate any comments.
