What is Sanntangle?
Sandra Rushton is an avid crafter and certified zentangle® teacher. Her stencils are created to enable others to make zentangle® inspired images
to use alongside craft projects such as card making, journal pages and soft crafts. While
her designs are not official zentangle® products, combining the two is Sandra’s passion and are now produced under the brand name Sanntangle®.
