It really has been a long time since I have posted here.  I have been very busy with my Zentangle® work including doing my first art show.  That hasn't kept me from my card making but just from posting here.  I am showcasing some of my cards that I have made,  including the start of my Christmas cards.  Enjoy...

The first 2 cards were done by tangling on pressed leaves.

 This card is being entered in the My Favorite Things sketch challenge

This card was made with a place card from a luncheon that I attended.  

It just screamed make me into a shaker card! 

I made this card from a napkin from a neighborhood party that I attended.

This card was made from a black & white post card.  I colored it with colored pencils

and gamsol.  I die cut the sentiment and added the stones that I colored with Copic Markers.

I decided to try a negative space die cut card.  I now have the positive cuts to make another card.

Another Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA) card.

This card is so much prettier in person.  It is actually very sparkly...

This card is also being entered into My Favorite Things sketch challenge.

Till next time...

Some New Cards...

Hi all.  Here are some new cards that I have been working on lately...

This card was done with Ken Oliver's Color Bursts. 

This was hand painted with watercolors.

This card was done with colored pencils.

This card was originally a Zentangle Inspired Art piece that I did.  I reduced it to

make into a card.  I used colored pencils.  The color is much brighter

than it shows here.

This was hand colored and I used fun foam for the "praying" die cut.

Hand colored with colored pencils.  The inside says

"You are the cat's pajamas".

I was gifted several tangled stamps.  This was done with colored pencils.  This is just one of many...

Another tangled stamp with colored pencils.

This was a very old wooden stamp that I got from my advanced stamping

club.  They were getting rid of a lot of stamps from our library that were not

being used.  The inside says "Just another day in paradise".  It was done with colored pencils.

Another tangled stamp done with colored pencils.

And yet another tangled stamp.  This is the only one that

I used alcohol markers for.

I used a Stampin' up stamp.  I used colored pencils and put it on the 

inside of the card.  I die cut the frame and Happy Birthday and punched

the butterfly.

This is a stamp that was given to me by another friend from my

stamping club.  I used colored pencils.

Hope you enjoy my recent work!  I love comments!!
