DIY Doodle Cards
Here’s the cool D-I-doodle I promised earlier. Aimee at Artsyville shares this tutorial for turning your black & white doodles into something as groovy as these…
What you need: a scanner, a color printer, Photoshop (or some similar photo-editing software) and of course, your masterful doodles 
Don’t forget some colored cardstock/cover paper.
Basically, what you do is: (1) scan your black and white doodle at hi-res; (2) open the image in Photoshop; (3) pick a color that’s closest to the color of your paper; (4) colorize with the Magic Wand and Fill tool; (5) print…
.. and cut to desired size. Ta-da!
No colored cardstock? No problemo. Breathe As Me has modified instructions for printing onto white cardstock.
Mydears, I can see oodles of doodle-ized invites, thank you cards, envelopes, favor wraps, and gift tags in my future. Any one else? Chime in!

I love this! It looks like so much fun!
how cool to find my scribbles here! thank you for the mention! your blog is terrific – you’ve given me even more ideas of what i can do with my doodles. i especially love the matchbook covers and the paper bags. in fact, i bet you could do one doodle, scan it, and feed the paper bags through the printer to make a bunch at one time. i’ll send my wedding bound friends your way!
great card diy!
