Under the Sea (Christmas!) and more Doodling

 The prompt this challenge at 52 Christmas Countdown is 'Under the Sea! Hmmm 🤨. 

Well I love a challenge, so I put my thinking cap on and this was what I created...


First of all, I made the background by sponging Distress Ink & Distress Oxides (Salty Ocean) and when dry, I sponged ink through the stencil and embossed with Distress Embossing Glaze (Broken China).
The Turtle and seaweed were coloured with Zigs and the seaweed was embossed with Distress Embossing Glaze (Cracked Pistachio).  The santa hat was hand drawn and coloured with Copics and a pompom added.

I'm sharing at the following challenges:-

ANYTHING GOES

Krafty Chicks Challenge
CHRISTMAS


My next card is another attempt at doodling.

I used 2 sets designed by my friend Shirley Bampton and added some extra details - the stripes on the petals and flower, the white details and the squiggles on the butterfly. I coloured with Zigs.
Stamps: Stamplorations (The Bees Knees) 'Folk Flowers', 'Winged Things'; CASual Fridays (sentiment)

I'm sharing at the following challenges:-
