Zentangle Maple Leaf

I love creating art using zentangling, therefore, I have for you today a Zentangle Maple Leaf card.  Actually, the correct action word is tangling when speaking of performing the art. 

I think the fall time of the year is so beautiful, and I don’t get to experience the beautiful transformation of trees while living in Florida. To create my own feel of the fall, I made this Zentangle Maple Leaf card.

I used eight different, official Zentangle® patterns on the maple leaf. The fun of zentangling is that you can create your own patterns if desired; however, I choose official patterns.
 
For some history about Zentangle®, it is a new form of art created by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts. Because I am not a Certified Zentangle® Teacher, I prefer not to attempt to teach how to zentangle. However, you can learn more about this new art on Maria and Rick’s website, http://www.zentangle.com.
 
As for the Stampin’ Up! products used for the card, they are:

10-9-11 UPDATE: I just discovered that my Zentangle Pumpkin was featured as an article for last weeks’ “roundup” on a Certified Zentangle® Teacher’s website, Tangle Harmony! I don’t know the teacher, but what an honor to have my Zentangle Pumpkin be featured! This is so exciting!!

My project share today is another Stampin’ Up! Greeting Card featuring the art of Zentangle®! The main element on this card is the pumpkin, which I drew and included several Zentangle® patterns. I hope you like it as much as I do. I’m really getting into tangling, and I think it adds a nice touch to Stampin’ Up! products. Have you tried tangling yet?

If you have an interest in learning the art of Zentangle® to include on your Stampin’ Up! crafts, google the word “zentangle” and you’ll find lots of patterns. Unfortunately I can’t instruct you on the patterns I used on both the pumpkin and sentiment, but I certainly can share the Stampin’ Up! products that I used.
