March Tag Book Swap COF

The swap for COF for March is to make a tag from the template given to us and using the theme of Spring.  This one really was fun to make and I'm so excited to be done so early!!  Now I can move on to something else that I didn't think I would be able to do.

For these tags I used some Distressed Ink in Worn Lipstick and Shabby Shutters around the edges of each tag.  Using circles from GrungeBoard Shapes in small and medium I painted them with H2O's and  punched a hole in the center of each and then wound ribbon around them to make flowers.  I stamped the vines, Hero Arts, and painted the leaves and flowers with H2O's.  I added crystals in matching colors to each tag.  The crystals were clear and I colored them using Alcohol Inks in Wild Plum and Bottle.  Spring is created with my trusty Dymo Labeler.

New Zentangles

I am finally starting to work on projects again and this is the first one I have finished in quite some time:

These are a pair of Round Ornaments for a swap I am doing at Doodlers Haven. Each month for 6 months we will do a different shaped ornament. I used colored pencils, glitter pens and glitter glue to finish these off.

Thanks for taking a look and please do leave a comment.

Zentangles to Share

I did a Zen Bookmark swap and I wanted to share what I sent and what Sandy sent me. This is the front and back for the one I received from Sandy - her Zens's really rock!! I just love the sun on the front.
Thanks again Sandy!!








These are the two that I sent to Sandy. When I started them I wasn't very happy with them but as I started to add color everything started to pop and I ended up really liking them both.
This was really fun Swap and I now off to work on more Zen's. I find them to be very addicting and very relaxing to work on. Hope this will encourage you to give it a try and share your work with others.

Thanks for looking.

Zentangle - Zodiac Animals

I did these four Zens for a swap at Doodlers Haven. This is the first of three different swaps and when your done you will have all twelve Chinese Zodiac Animals. This is really my first attempt at something like this and I really enjoyed making them. I was taking them with my pens to work each day and I worked on them at lunch time. I can't wait to do more of them.

Thanks for looking and I always like to read your comments.
