Zen Grungy Monday 3

Okay, those that know me know that this is not my typical style card.  Was having a go at Zentangle for the Order of the Opus Gluei challenge and playing with my newAdirondack Color Washes by Ranger for the Grungy Monday Challenge #3 hosted by the lovely Linda over at StudioL3  .   The Grungy Monday challenges are in honor of Tim Holtz and his many products and techniques.   I managed to combine the two challenges in this one card using Stampin Up! stamps no less----what a menagerie of supplies/tools etc!!  So, not to go on too much of a tangent here, but, I started with a technique from Jennifer McGuire's blog using the Pearl Paint Dabber from Ranger.  You can see the technique on the video in this post.   Funny thing is, I had the Pearl Paint dabber on my wish list so long (after seeing this video when it was originally posted) that when I finally got one I couldn't rememeber why I wanted it--ha!  I did remember that it had to do with something I had seen on Jennifer's blog so I was able to do some research and found out why.  Okay, so the tangent is over, back to the card.  I used the technique to create the background using the Wild Plum Color Wash and the Stampin' Up! stamp.  Cheated a bit with my first crack at Zentangle and did it on little triangles to create the pennant banner.  Have to say, I did like doing it and it is as calming and therapuetic as they say so if you are so inclined,  give it I try!
