My Creative Monday for Magenta - doodling with stencils

Doodling with only a stencil: sponging with distress inks will define the edges.
It makes it easier to doodle within the images.
Doodle some extra elements and create your very own composition. 

After doodling, give some of the areas extra color.

YES, an Artist Trading Block! 
I've never done that before!

It's fun.. 

 I kind of like how it turned out

The block before dressing it up! 

The left hand side!

I's even got (beads as) feet! 

The right hand side.  

The top of the ATB!

Here you can see the brown of the original block on the edges, I like that!

I've used stamps from Katzelkraft (background), 
Magenta (dragonfly) and 
Paper Artsy (script on top). 
The flowers are diecuts.
