A ZIA gift

A dear friend welcomed a new daughter into the world a few months ago, and we're finally getting together for a visit.  I was inspired to make a name sign for her as Zentangle® Inspired Art (ZIA).

I had an interesting frame with seven small sections--the perfect number for her name!  I cut small pieces of watercolor paper to fit each section then tangled each.  Here are some unshaded before pictures:

I used my Cricut machine to die-cut letters in black then added the tangled pieces behind each letter.

Here is the end result:

I hope they'll like it.

Welcome to the world, Bethany!
