Happy Sunday everyone. It's Lou Sims and I'm super, super chuffed today to share one of my doodle projects on "THE" Bee Crafty Blog.
I've used a selection of Inkables masks & stencils to create at least 80% of my doodle design ...
MY DOODLE PROJECT
Bee Crafty Inkable stencils & masks are fabulous ways to create backgrounds and/or designs which I can then freehand doodle inside. Why do I choose them? For me it's because they come in to 2 different sizes which means I can either layer designs up size-wise or I have the ability to create smaller or bigger backgrounds.
My design for this doodle started with a circle in the bottom right and gradually grew from there. Designs have been linked with either free hand doodles or another stencil/mask design. I have used a Sakura black micron pen - 01 in size - to start to mark the outlines.
I am a great advocate in using stencils/masks etc with doodle projects. They take away the possible fear factor especially if you are unsure where to begin or even what shape to use to start a doodle.
After I have the majority of the design down, next comes the colour ...
I decided to use Ecolines to colour my project as they give quick coverage & their colours are super bold & bright. The colours blend together wonderfully whether you use water, the blender brush or alternatively, layering colour on top of each other.
As final finishing touches, I doodled inside the main circles using the wonderful Queen Bee Bullet Journal stencils. These gave the scallop edges, square hanging designs & also the smaller coloured elements.
As an "added extra", using a ruler and an 01 & 005 micron pen, I drew lines across the background, adding a few dots at either end.
As the final final finishing touch, out came the white pen to add a few highlights here & there, plus

I'm hoping that this post sparks you in to grabbing your Bee Crafty Inkables to create your own doodle designs. Don't forget to share your ideas as I love seeing what shapes &/or designs were your inspiration to doodle.
Many thanks to Bev & Sam for letting me "high jack" the blog today & hope to see you all again really soon.
Take care & be safe,
