Good Morning all! Helen here with a little doodle page using stencils and ColorSparx! Sometimes I love to doodle, but I find my doodling is very controlled and not messy… which is totally me and I find to be totally relaxing. Some people find coloring relaxing, I find repetitive coloring relaxing!

The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project.
The opinions I share are solely my own.
Product Used:
To start with, I used my 3.5” x 5.5” moleskin journal to do this doodle. I used TCW873 Orb Mandela stencil and a 01 Micron black pen to outline the madela towards the right edge of my page.
![Using a fine micron pen, I outlined around TCW873 Orb Mandela stencil offset to the right of my 3.5" x 5,5" journal page.](https://i0.wp.com/www.thecraftersworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/mandela-doodle-2-1024x997.png?resize=768%2C748&ssl=1)
Once I colored in the Mandela Orb outlined areas with black, I used TCW507 The Story stencil to add some words, circles and arrows to my page as shown.
![I colored in the madela shape with black, and then added some words, arrows and circles using a black micron and TCW507 The Story stencil.](https://i0.wp.com/www.thecraftersworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/mandela-doodle-1-916x1024.png?resize=687%2C768&ssl=1)
It needed some color, so I brought out my TCW9058 ColorSparx® Alpine and mixed a bit of water with a sprinkle of the Turquoise to start adding some color.
![I added some color to the drawing using the Turquoise color of TCW9058 ColorSparx powder diluted with some water. I used a small fine tipped brush to color.](https://i0.wp.com/www.thecraftersworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/mandela-doodle-3-753x1024.png?resize=565%2C768&ssl=1)
I then did the same using Wisteria from TCW9058 ColorSparx® to add another color.
![I added some Wisteria color from the same TCW9058 ColorSparx Alpine to the Mandela.](https://i0.wp.com/www.thecraftersworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/mandela-doodle-4-652x1024.png?resize=489%2C768&ssl=1)
Once this dried, I added some marks and doodles here and there.. and Voila! Done!
