I love zentangling but am terrible at it, so here is a technique to cheat at it. lol

Cut plain white card stock into the size of a mailable postcard.

Cut another piece of scrap card stock the same size (this will be used as a "mask" so can be any scrap you like).

Divide both the front of the white and the scrap card stock into 4 equal rectangles by drawing straight lines midway horizontally and vertically. Use a fine black pen/marker to make clearly defined lines (especially on the white card stock).

On the scrap card stock, cut out ONE of the 4 sections and discard the cut out piece. The piece with 3 sections on it will be your "mask".

Gather 4 different rubber/acrylic stamps with smallish Halloween patterns (or lots of detail) and a black ink pad.

Using your "mask" piece, cover 3/4 of the white card stock and stamp the quarter section that is exposed using black ink only. If you need to stamp more than once to cover the quarter, that is fine.

Continue to move the "mask" around and stamp the other three quarter sections, each with a different stamp and using black ink only.

Discard the scrap mask.

If you wish to add any colour you may but this is not a requirement.

Finish by adding a backing to make your PC sturdy enough to go through the mail, naked and stamped.

On the back, write a Halloween quote.

Have fun! (";)

P.S. If you are adventurous and want to try different shapes than 4 equal rectangles, please feel free.
