So this week's Less is More challenge... Ermmm... one layer AND doodling???? Nope, not really happening here! As I may have mentioned before I do not doodle. I've really proved that to myself today, by wasting several hours and lots of card, trying to produce something even remotely clever or interesting. Then I gave up... and did some faux stitching instead...
I used post it notes to mask off an area of the card, and then used 'gathered twigs' and 'walnut stain' distress inks to create the panel. I then added a very boring row of faux stitching and stamped the Stampin' Up motorbike and Penny Black sentiment in black versafine.
I do quite like the finished card, but as an example of doodling it's a bit pitiful - sorry!

Totally know what you mean about doodling... I'm still waiting for inspiration to strike... This is a fabulous male card - and the faux stitching works well with the layout.
Fantastic card sweetie, i thought your masked panel was a panel of paper not a inked panel..very clever!!
