A Little Bit Different


I'm a big fan of doodling... if there's a pen nearby and I'm engaged in something that doesn't require my hands, like talking on the phone, then you can be pretty sure that I'll be drawing something. Not too long ago, I happened to be on a long service call with plenty of paper and pens nearby. It wasn't long until I had doodled a little picture with some cross-hatching in the shadowy areas. Naturally, my next thought was to wonder how the technique would look on a card...


I was going for a "workbook vibe", imagining all sorts of notes and slips of paper bundled onto a clip board with paint chips and laminate samples. Not sure I completely pulled it off, but it sure was fun to try something different!

I started by stamping the large image from Blooming Tools onto my paper with blue ink to match the pen, then added all the cross hatching.
