Before I started I drew round the bottom 2 layers of the chessboard in pencil and stamped in the appropriate places. I then laid the stencil back over and went round all the checkerboard squares using pen but without going over the chess pieces. I added lines to the chess pieces as the stamps are only outlines, then zentangled all the 'black' squares of the chess board. I repeated the same pattern more than once in different areas of the board to tie the whole thing together.

Zentangle stencil
I didn't realise how often I used zentangle in my cards - I must be going through a phase. Stencils are also a great starting place for zentangling. Here I used the Claritystamp checkerboard stencil and teamed it up with Woodware chess stamps which included the greeting.
