I don't know what it is about being on vacation, but I tend to do the same three types of art while I'm relaxing: watercolor sketching, zentangle and photography.
Those are pretty much my favorite while I'm trying to truly take time to be disconnected.
Zentangle is especially relaxing for me, so I took some new stamps with me that had enough space for me to do some patterns in - these gorgeous florals from Pretty Pink Posh.
Sometimes at 8,000 feet plus, you have to take breaks and just chill, so I grabbed my Micron and Pitt pens and did just that, and this is what I came up with. Love these delicate sentiment dies.

ReplyDeleteThat Zentangling looks like it’s part of the stamp... actually, they should make a version of the stamp with your Zentangling in it. Your card is beautiful and reminds me of relaxing at 8,000 feet. I also love the bright and cheerful background. I’m glad you had a relaxing trip.
