First try at Stella Zentangle

First try at Stella Zentangle

 

It’s just that time of year I guess. I’m seeing snowflakes snowflakes everywhere!  The Stella tangle was no different.  Right from the very first attempt I saw snowflakes.

 

So with my first try here, I wanted to play with some new Distress inks that I’d ordered, hence the colourful background. I shaded with my prismacolor pencils and then added some highlights (which aren’t very visible in the picture) with a white gelly roll.

 

Here’s the final piece:

I’m still playing around with the Sindoo tangle.  This time I wanted it to pop with some color.  I switched the focus from the petals to the “white” space by adding most of the colour there instead.  Though I like the way the purple in and around the circles turned out, I prefer the piece with the focus on the petals. 

 

I didn’t stop for a before pic unfortunately – but this is the finished product:
