May's Challenge - Black, White & Grad!

It's the very merry month of May now, and the Dreamweaver Stencils' Dream Team are playing with a new challenge, and we're hoping that YOU will play along! All of this month, we'll be creating for graduations and/or using black and white with a pop of color.



I just tried my hand at Zentangle for the first time, with the Tie Stencil LG 735, a Black Micron .05 pen and the Zentangle 6 guidebook that I picked up at Dreamweavers, and thought that it made the perfect card for this challenge...

Not too bad for my first try, though I've decided that I don't like free handing circles, I'm a "Square" kind a gal!  I've made samples of my Zentangling with the Apron Stencil, and the Holly is next on my list...Check out the Gallery on the Dream It Up! blog, as they have even more samples to take a peek at!

Now it's your turn to play along with us, and you do not need to have a complicated creation, so pull out your supplies and have some fun! Link your creation to the Dream It Up! blog, or email pics of your creation to Lynell@dreamweaverstencils.com as we love to post your submissions on the blog as well as the Facebook page. Even more, we want to provide you with the opportunity to win one of two sets of two stencils by playing along. You have all of May to link as many creations as you'd like, so get creating! Sorry...winners must be from the US or Canada.

And with that,
Doodle til you Dazzle,
Relax til you Zen,
and get a creation into our contest, this month is an EASY challenge!

  3. Great Zentangle Jessie! Think of them as orbs, not circles, orbs don't have to be perfectly round! Wonderful card!
