Stentangle?

This week at Stampendous, we have a Zentangle theme.  I am really inexperienced with the intricacies of Zentangle, but I do know how to doodle.  I use my stencil and a regular pencil (lightly) to create an outline to doodle in.  I have heard someone refer to this use of a stencil in Zentangling as "Stentangle" and I like it.  So here is my Stentangle:


I used the Open Butterfly Stencil for the outline.  For the doodles, I used my new Fabercastell Pitt Pens in the black set.  I actually used all of the markers in the set.  As a rule, the smaller tips make the lighter doodled areas.  Proving once again that I am not a traditionalist, I could not stand the lack of color.  I used my Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils in the Yellow Set for the butterfly and the Blue Set for the background.  A cute double-sided May Arts ribbon completed the look on the card. 

Check out the other team members posts today for more Stentangle inspiration.
