Diva Weekly Challenge No. 80 "Mi2! Mi2!" by CZT Mimi Lemport. I used a splash background with Tombow markers then tangled Mi2 over it. I filled in some of the edges with Prismacolor pencil crayons.
I really like the background technique that you used. I just did some random colored circles on a bunch of zentangle blanks earlier today. I want to try something like what you've done here. :)
This is fabulous, love the splash of color, did you do the background first and tangle over it or vice-versa? It's a wonderful response to the challenge! You should be very happy with the way this came out! :)
I did the splash background first. The directions are in "Time to Tangle with Colors" by Marie Browning. The tile looks pretty messy to start and then you tangle over it when it is dry. You never know how it is going to turn out. One of the Blogs from the Diva site had the directions. I will find it and try and send you a link.
Great job on Mi2 and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the color and style of your background!!!
