I'm not that great at Zentangle, I think I'm a bit too impatient,
however I saw Mel on Create and Craft show this Holly Zentangle using a
grid, so I thought I'd give it a try and use it as a background... I
changed it slightly by drawing the grid in pencil so I could rub it out
later, however I'm not sure it was the right choice as when I showed it
to a friend all she could see was circles in the background and not the
holly lol, but anyway it was worth a try... I love this scribbly bird by
Dina Wakely, and when I saw this pose, I knew it had to be a robin, so I
water coloured it using Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo, Wild Honey, Rusty
Hinge, Fired Brick and Aged Mahogany distress stains. Once I'd assembled
the card, I thought it looked a bit empty, hence the black splashes in
the background :) and then to finish it off I just added a bit of red
glitter glue to the holly berries and a Happy Christmas sentiment :D
