For the month of January, we are playing with the choice of OLD or NEW for the This or That Instagram Hop. I tried something that is new to me for my card today.
I've wanted to play with intentional doodling for a while but have almost felt too intimidated to try it. I did a few doodles in a sketch book I bought and I hated what I did. Last week I was making a purchase on Amazon and found a couple of "bold and easy" zendoodle template books by Rokia Love and I bought them on an impulse. I was hoping that they would be printed on heavy paper and was a little disappointed to learn that they were just regular paper. I found a pattern I liked and slipped a piece of cardstock behind it since I'd be using alcohol inks... and then had the idea to use my laser printer to photocopy it. I can't print on cardstock so I just did it on pattern paper. If it didn't work, I'd go somewhere to get it printed on 100 lb cardstock.
And to my surprise, it coloured up pretty well!!
I chose three colours of Copic (plus black), a black Micron pen and a white gel pen and I started to play. Is it as good as the work I've been watching on Instagram? Nope. But Did I like what I created enough to cut a panel and use it on a card? Yup!
