Zendala Dare #2

This is my first zendala, in response to Erin Olsen's Zendale Dare. This is dare #2. I tried to add a link to her blog, but for some reason it isn't working (on my end) so here it is manually: http://thebrightowl.blogspot.ca (I'm pretty sure I'll be able to use the link on my website so I'll have to figure out why it isn't working here?) I've been wanting to do a zendala but felt intimidated. Thank you Erin for posting the "dare" and for providing the templates in various sizes! In this Zendala I used cadent, slink, sanibelle, beadlines, and black pearlz. I ended up using carbon paper to transfer the design onto heavy watercolor paper, which works ok as long as I don't press too hard. The carbon is a bit harder to erase if needed, but it does work. I would be happy to receive any comments or suggestions.
