Traced Doodling

I was really excited to try a new technique for the challenge at Just Add ink, which is to try something you have never done before.  Since our challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More! is to use markers, I went searching for a marker technique and I found Traced Doodling. I have never even heard of this technique but it brought me out of my comfort zone and I had a lot of fun with it!

I started by stamping the flower from Mixed Bunch in Whisper White Craft Ink. I let that dry and then outlined the entire thing with the fine point tip of my Calypso Coral marker.  I went around that with lines and dots of Lucky Limeade.  The centers are each filled in with Pool Party.  This is a great way to be able to doodle if you aren't comfortable with your own doodling skills! lol  I did the same thing with the butterfly but used a different flower that I could color in more of.  I also did a little bit on the inside, keeping with my promise to myself to add a little something to the inside of each card. :)
