    I’m a big fan of Zentangle. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us. Your card turned out so nice. So easy, simple with amazing results. No expensive dies either. Just goes to show you crafting can be inexpensive. Remember: “Shop your Stash, Save your Cash!” ❤️🙋🏻‍♀️🥰

    Hi. It brings to mind a basket of yarn or embroidery thread all squashed in together. Such a fun effect and very versatile as so many different patterns are possible and suitable for so many different occasions. The card is really eye-catching and I think I'll try experimenting with this regarding various colours, inks and paints. Thank you for sharing this super video and have a great weekend.

    You are truly one-of-a-kind card creator among the hundreds of card creators on UA-cam.
    I think I can say without hesitation that you are the ONLY truly CREATIVE card maker who doesn’t rely on the latest stamps or dies or ink pad color to come up with the most unique and wonderful designs and creations. You even draw your own design elements like this pen and ink background demonstrated today, and it’s easy enough that anyone can do it. I’ve never seen any other card maker do this.
    While most card makers’ card designs are starting to look a little old, stale, and repetitive - because, let’s face it: there are only so many butterfly, bee, dragonfly, flower, and fern stamps and dies that one can use - yours are always fresh and new using old stamps, dies, colors, etc.
    I think the other card makers serve a useful purpose by demonstrating the newest dies, stamps, and other crafting tools that manufacturers come out with. But for sheer creativity with beautiful results, you have them beat hands down!

    This would be a great background to make when the family is all watching a show and you have a doodle pad handy. Have a play around with different patterns and then you’d have several ready next time you can get to your card space. Love it! It would be cute in heart shapes and a red pen too❤

    The optical-illusion background reminds me of the “spiderwebs” I used to doodle in high school - I’d keep filling in the way you did, & it was a really cool effect.

    TFS! 🎉

    What a great video! I have never had the courage to try Zentangling because I've rarely seen it done from start to finish like your video shows--thanks to you, I'm going to give it a try. I think what really helped me is that when I see a finished piece, I tend to just see it all--and it all looks perfect and, therefore, beyond my ability. But you showed how some lines are not quite exactly the same, are not perfect. But you're done, the viewer just sees the whole perfect-looking piece. I'm really excited to give this a try! Thank you so much!
