Weekly Challenge 180 - The Window

I was ridiculously excited to do the challenge on http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/ this week. Pens and markers were prepared!  I pulled out paper! 

So, this week we were to use MacDee by Anneke Van Dam; instructions are here: http://anneke-merrygoround.blogspot.nl/2013/02/new-tangle-pattern-macdee.html

When I first saw it, I immediately thought of plaid...until I started actually drawing it and realized my version looked nothing like plaid! It reminded me more of a window, so that's what I am calling this piece.

Paper is a blank note card.  Used a Gelli Pad with acrylics for the background.  Gel pen and paint Sharpie for the lines.

  6. lovely. I like how thick you've made the black to make it look like a window. And I always love to see new uses for all those gelli prints I have!
