zentangle challenge at the cheerful stamp pad

zentangles are great fun to make, but there are also zentangle images out in the world to play with too.  for our new two week challenge at the cheerful stamp pad we are working with the zentangle art of courtney mcansh, designer of digital images at sweet pea stamps. i've taken courtney's elephant zentangle and made two alphabet ATCs.

with both ATCs i printed the digital image and colored with colored pencils.  on the first i used a background paper from itKuPiLLi and added a flower and washi tape.  the word elephant was stamped with my mason row pegz.

the second ATC i actually posted previously as it was a part of a challenge at the sweet pea stamps facebook page.  the background sunburst paper is from mcmahon five designs and i added flowers and a letter.  i decided to share both ATCs today because i like the contrast as they were each done slightly differently.

a randomly selected winner of this challenge will win a prize from sweet pea stamps so i encourage you to join -- whether you make your own zentangle creation or work with an already created zentangle you will be eligible to play along.

i'm also linking up to the "animal instincts" reader art quest at unruly paper arts.

love to all.
