Oh dear Chrissie & Mandi at LIM really are challenging us this week with their One Layer Card with Doodles!!!!
Now, whilst I love cardmaking and papercrafts, drawing is definitely NOT one of my talents - even my doodling consists of squares and triangles. Anyway here are two cards I have come up with and I'm not proud of either of them but thought I would share them with you anyway!
I decided to use my 'doodles' in place of words so a heart on the first one and a smiley face on the second. I inked the part of the sentiment stamps that I wanted with a marker pen and also drew the heart and face with markers. Once this was done I doodled a 'dots and kisses' border with a Basic Gray marker. The heart started out as an outline with a tiny heart drawn in the top right but then I decided it would look better coloured in however, as you can see, it didn't quite cover the original heart - it actually looks like it should be there though so I'm not going to worry about it! Can't really say much more other than plenty of white space and yes, this very definitely was a challenge :0)
Two fab cards and some great doodles too

Wow I would be proud of those cards if had made them I think they're brilliant. When I've done borders like that they've strayed all over the place :0)

I love your doodled frames Margaret (great minds think alike there!) but you've gone the extra mile with doodled images too - lovely! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteIt may have been challenging Margaret but you've come up with two great ideas! x
ReplyDeleteI can tell you don't like doodling - you don't like your doodled cards! I love them, think they're great, and you ought to go easier on yourself... you might enjoy it then :)
ReplyDeleteI think you did a fine job with the doodling! Reminds me of cross-stitching! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteYou should be proud of them, I think they are both fab and so original.
