Black and White Card Swap

Our October swap at Craftmad was all about Black and White.  I found this wonderful paper in my stash and layered it on black and white card stock.  Then on the front strip I attached these black sticker mandala which I thought teamed up with the paper well.  Added a bit of bling and finished with a sticker sentiment.

I really do enjoy doodling or zentangle as they tend to call it these days.  I started this by working in pencil first, drawing and outline of the star from one of my dies.  Then I drew lines to make sections around the star and filled that with a different doodle design in each.  Finally went over the pencil with my fine tip pen (a finer one is on my Christmas wish list).  So relaxing and makes you forget about the world as you fill the sections.  I layered my design on some black glitter card stock to give it a bit of a shine.
