You are truly one-of-a-kind card creator among the hundreds of card creators on TH-cam. I think I can say without hesitation that you are the ONLY truly CREATIVE card maker who doesn’t rely on the latest stamps or dies or ink pad color to come up with the most unique and wonderful designs and creations. You even draw your own design elements like this pen and ink background demonstrated today, and it’s easy enough that anyone can do it. I’ve never seen any other card maker do this. While most card makers’ card designs are starting to look a little old, stale, and repetitive - because, let’s face it: there are only so many butterfly, bee, dragonfly, flower, and fern stamps and dies that one can use - yours are always fresh and new using old stamps, dies, colors, etc. I think the other card makers serve a useful purpose by demonstrating the newest dies, stamps, and other crafting tools that manufacturers come out with. But for sheer creativity with beautiful results, you have them beat hands down!
This would be a great background to make when the family is all watching a show and you have a doodle pad handy. Have a play around with different patterns and then you’d have several ready next time you can get to your card space. Love it! It would be cute in heart shapes and a red pen too❤
Oh, Natasha! Sometimes I have no words to describe my delight at learning something from you and watching your cards come together. That background! I said right out loud, “That’s really somethin’’,” to no one but myself. You make me believe even I could draw! Thank you for sharing your endless talents with us! 💕🌸⚫️
Hi. It brings to mind a basket of yarn or embroidery thread all squashed in together. Such a fun effect and very versatile as so many different patterns are possible and suitable for so many different occasions. The card is really eye-catching and I think I'll try experimenting with this regarding various colours, inks and paints. Thank you for sharing this super video and have a great weekend.
Love to watch you create you are so very talented. That type of art is called zen tangle. It’s beautiful and fun to create. Definitely relaxing. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! The combination of Zentangle-esque black and white pattern and colourful die cut is really striking. Just FYI, The Zentangle type patterns aren't terribly difficult to shade just with a graphite pencil and paper stump (or Cottonbud) to blend out the harsh edges.
Hi Natasha 🖐 from Kentucky USA! Awesome design work. 👍 Love your Cool background. This card is Soooo inspiring and different. TFS! Happy Crafting ✂️ God Bless You and Keep You Safe 🙏
So talented! I've watched you now for quite some time & you never run out of ideas! Your cards are ALWAYS beautiful! It's smart to have those extra sentiments or whatever item it may be! I do that now & love the fact I have a grab & go box to where I can throw a nice looking card together in just a couple minutes.
Hi Natasha, You are an Genius the way you done your Background I absolutely loved it thank you so much for taking the time to share very much appreciated 👍❤️🙂
This is the best and easiest card making tutorial that I have seen. You're not pushing products down our throats, just showing what works and how it works. I subscribed.
Hi Natasha. Wow, wow, wow! This card is STUNNING! I love the leaf and the repetitive pattern, creating the black and white background. Amazingly creative. TFS. God bless you and your family. 🌿🤗🩵
Your creativity always impresses me, Natasha. It was so cool to see the circles form to create an interesting background. Using the paint for the foiled look was brilliant … lovely card! ❤️🇨🇦
What a fun technique! I liked it when you had just done the first ‘string’, but then it got even better. Definitely something to share with my younger crafty students.
I love this idea, never thought of using all the Zentangles I draw to put on cards. I'm also going to draw some on blended ink backgrounds too. 😊 Thank you so much for for another fantastic idea.
Hello Natasha, another fantastic way to make a card. I love how you use tangles for your card! I keep forgetting to “think outside the box” Thank you fot another great tutorial. 😊
I loved your doddle artwork you did! I thought it was beautiful and brilliant! Your card turned out gorgeous as well as always. I really appreciate your tips and tricks they’re so helpful. Appreciate your sharing your cards and tips! Thank you!🥰
I don’t know how you come up with all these ideas…but you are very creative & I love it! Thanks for another great card! You are so good at this card making hobby we have❤️
At first, I thought you were just doing some zentangle, but then I saw what you did with! Awesome. I'm going to go back through some of the zentangle sheets I've done and see if I can add something pretty to them! Save me some time with my Galentines Card!
I love your optical illusions cards. This one is really neat. I will have to try it. I made the squares one that you had showed us and gave it to my grandson, and he could not believe I had done it myself. Thanks for all the tips and tricks you show us.
Loving this as I do most of your work! Reminds me of balls of yarn…need a kitty die cut! Thanks for sharing your talent and inspiration…much appreciated.
So much talent you have. Love this idea, so unique and beautiful! Love your creativity! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! I want to try this for sure!!!
The optical-illusion background reminds me of the “spiderwebs” I used to doodle in high school - I’d keep filling in the way you did, & it was a really cool effect. I love that layered leaf die! So pretty where you placed the diecuts on the card. TFS! 🎉
Was going to say the same as Carlos said, looks like zentangles. They are fun and relaxing to do. Love this.Have to try it. What a creative mind you have. Thanks for Sharing.
how fun! thinking space the balls on single line..string of lights! also we could change the curved lines to angular, like squares, or even ripply..such an awesome finish this one here is though, thank you
What a great video! I have never had the courage to try Zentangling because I've rarely seen it done from start to finish like your video shows--thanks to you, I'm going to give it a try. I think what really helped me is that when I see a finished piece, I tend to just see it all--and it all looks perfect and, therefore, beyond my ability. But you showed how some lines are not quite exactly the same, are not perfect. But you're done, the viewer just sees the whole perfect-looking piece. I'm really excited to give this a try! Thank you so much!

Love the card & “optical illusion” technique! TYFS Natasha! ❤
Amazing! Looking at the final card, I would never have believed that background was hand drawn if I hadn't watched you do it. Lovely card!
You are a remarkable artist! Your designs are amazing! Always a treat to watch them to start as just an idea to a finished design❤💜

Your creativity always impresses me, Natasha. It was so cool to see the circles form to create an interesting background. Using the paint for the foiled look was brilliant … lovely card! ❤️🇨🇦
This background to me also looks like an extreme close up of knitting stitches which has given me some ideas to use it in different ways ❤️
I would love to see what you create.
What a beautiful card and they are so achievable .
Zentangle drawing! Love it!
The background shapes look like gooseberries to me when you put the green leaf die on the card! The leaf is a gorgeous colour. Another great card! 👑👍
What a fun technique! I liked it when you had just done the first ‘string’, but then it got even better. Definitely something to share with my younger crafty students.
Wow, that hand drawn black & white background is stunning - you really do make it look so easy. Loving the hint of colour with the leaf 🌻🌻
Your creativity is absolutely wonderful!
What an amazing technique, looks very effective. Well done.
Very cool Natasha!!!
Love how you used the pen and designed your own background. As you say..."I'll give it a go!"
That is a beautiful card! Love how you put it all together. 😍
You could create the most amazing coloring books for people! A bunch of black and whites making up a book to color- I would buy it!
What a beautiful card! And what a cool idea to make that background!! Thank you, Natasha. I love your videos!!💜
Wow, gorgeous and classy.
I love this idea, never thought of using all the Zentangles I draw to put on cards. I'm also going to draw some on blended ink backgrounds too. 😊 Thank you so much for for another fantastic idea.

Awesome! This is a fantastic technique! Another winner!
Gone for Gold definitely!❤

Fascinating! I love this. I had been seeing cards like this posted but couldn't find the link. Such a fun background. I can see this maybe as flowers.
The leaf is stunning
