Any simple stamp with large plain areas can be zentangled (they can also be stamped onto patterned paper and paper pieced).
I like the fact that each tree is already divided into interesting shapes which sometimes help with ideas for a suitable zentangle pattern. Some of the patterns I drew were ideas I had seen online, and some grew from the shape that they had to fill - such as the triangular shapes in the tree to the far right.
Once I had finished zentangling, I cut out the stamped image leaving a narrow white border and stuck it to red mirricard. I then decided to use a Spectrum noir pencil which matched the background to pick out some of the zentangled details. I matted the red mirricard onto white card and then onto black leaving a narrow border. The whole thing was stuck onto an A4 card folded in half (A5 landscape); a small peel off greeting was the finishing touch - coloured red to match the key background colour.
