Valentine's Day cards

I recently had a small class to make Zentangle-inspired Valentine's Day cards. Two of the participants knew virtually nothing about Zentangle so before the official start time we did a super-quickie introduction.

For the first two hours everyone made two tiles (with me demo'ing) using black and red or pink ink, with heart themes and some valentine-related tangles: Hugs 'n' Kisses, Rosé, Ionic, and Puffle. For the next two hours they chose papers, folded, cut, positioned, glued and constructed their cards. Here are the cards people took home, one tile yet to be mounted.



Here are my two demo pages.
Tangles: Gingham, Hugs 'n' Kisses, Ionic, Knightsbridge,
Tipple, Umble and extra hearts!
Tangles: Gingham, Not-a-Knot variation, Lacing, Puffle, Rosé, Tipple
and stripes with highlights
