Hand Doodled Trio
Well, I was in the mood to do a little doodling, so I grabbed a piece of watercolor paper and drew this funky flower trio. I then traced them with my Sakura Pigma Micron black pen, and erased the pencil lines.
I watercolored them, clipped two corners with the small corner rounder, sponged the edges with cool caribbean ink, and matted with a black panel. I thought the colors coordinated well with this SU! striped paper, so I layered a piece of it on to a tempting turquoise card base, and machine stitched. Next, I adhered the pink SU! ribbon at the seam with some fabri-tac glue. I’m not real pleased that you can see the striped paper under it, but oh well! LOL!
I wanted a small little greeting to hang from the focal image, so I stamped the sentiment on shimmery white, and punched it with the 1/2″ circle punch. I lightly sponged the edges with cool caribbean ink, and then attached it with a silver cord, and jump ring. I attached the focal image on dimensionals, and popped a dimensional behind the sentiment, too.
It needed just a little something more, so I added the trio of white dots on the rounded corners, added yellow and turquoise Stickles to the flowers, and added the 3 black brads at the bottom for a little more “pop”.
Do you like my little weird flowers? LOL!

Your doodles are awewome Trudee! I’m with the others…you should submit to some stamp companies and have your doodles made into rubber!
I love the look of the two rounded corners! Really makes the focal image stand out!
