Paperartsy Challenge - Scribbles and Doodles

the latest challenge from Paperartsy is "scribbles and doodles"  I think most of us doodle unconsciously (those endless "hold" calls on the phone..) and there were some fabulous inspirations on the Paperartsy blog   I loved Penny's sewing machine doodles of Kim's stamps - fantastic!

But, I am no seamstress... I do love to play in my journal though and went back to the big A4 Seawhite journal...

 I started by stencilling this big alphabet which just fits the page (it's by Creative Expressions) and Fresco Caribbean Sea -such a beautiful colour!

I outlined the letters with a fine Micron pen (I only have 2, so it's either 01 or 04)

letters all outlined...

time for doodling. wasn't sure whether to doodle inside the letters or in the spaces...









but there's much more space in the spaces so that was my decision.  I went with flowers.. not very happy with how the daisy type came out today, so I mixed them with some scribbly dandelion types based on some of Lin Brown's flower stamps for Paperartsy   I mostly used the 01 Micron pen for all the flowers

I filled all the spaces and the tiny gaps with brick style patterns, and went round the edges just dotting with my pen.

This is a close up of some of my favourite scribbly flowers (I may becoming addicted to this style of flower doodling!)
