upcycled gift tag into doodle gift tag

i think i got bored coiling (this is what i've been doing lately in my spare time) and rolling paper so today i continued my eco-friendly activity by upcycling a cardboard gift tag.it always feels so good when come back to my first love-doodling! ... three steps and ready!...thanks for watching!

                               step 3 was to glue a piece of white paper on the cardboard
                                                       and the finished gift tag :

                                    sealed with mod podge then a mat acrylic spray varnish.
                                           note:-the hanger is also a recyled gift wrap paper 

 this is also my entry to the "Show and tell on Saturday #20" rolling over at artistsinblogland !

what else then doodles?

      first of all if you don't know already  OKAT  founder and editor of  doodlersanonymus.com is having an open call for "coloring book" volume II !
the submissions are open to anyone for one black/white drawing-doodle.i thought i may try even if i don't have too much chance :).i've took an insight of coloring book nr.I and i was way too pleased with the outcome!
just click here and you'll see why.
now,this is also my entry for Show and tell on Saturday #16 running over at artistsinblogland  and a little question for you if you would be so kind taking the time.
i drew two pages now i can't choose which one to enter ...maybe you'll help me...i would love to hear your opinions...
the first one based on one of my "serial" -marine atc's and second, a mask doodle- as i named it -being an ordinary "healing" doodle,lol...
both of doodles are 22cm/29cm  ( 8.5"/11") a new challenge for me regarding the size.
the mask doodle had a color call for me i couldn't resist...it was very relaxing ...way to relaxing...luckily my husband awakened me just in time to go.... i started two of my mornings before i went to work alike and i felt loaded with positive energy for all day.

thank you!

upcycled gift tags

just playing around with these little gift tags good for many occasions...
still hanging on embossing lol and upsycling as much as it's tasteful i hope ;)
no cardboard and tin can is safe around me these days...

 the little elephant was designed without the hearts unfortunately the metal sticks very very hard to the cardboard and when it does unwanted smudgy part reveals that needs to be covered.quite love the elephant baby..i couldn't make another example the same....

these last doodle is just a face sample but she wanted to be here........
thanks for the visit!......................................................................ildi
