Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.
To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).
The featured colour this week is Pink
Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection: (with example shades of the colour)
The contest will run week to week, to provide enough time for entrants to colour in the pattern. It's Zen for a reason!

@deemarshall donated 2 STEEM last week, Thank you!
This week the stencil is inspired by concentric & entangled circles and the pattern they create when they are all twisted together. It's a slightly less complex stencil this week to have a break from intricate shapes and patterns. Hope you all enjoy colouing this latest stencil from the #zencolouringcontest!
Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!

@izaid's Guess the Amount Contest
Each time you are provided with a picture of a container with items inside and you have to guess how many are in the container!
If you would like your contest to be advertised here, please let me know.
@cjsean suggested to try out dpoll for gathering the votes for community favourite.
I think that's a great idea for many reasons and will work on getting it set up for the next Gallery of Entries post!
If you have any suggestions or ideas about the contest please leave a comment below and your input will be displayed here in future posts.

For ease, just copy the following string of text into your post:
Thanks. I tilted the pattern a bit then filled everything with chocolate brown color. A adjusted the brush to make it a little transparent then tightly brush the top with pink color. Using glow brush I gave it a little smudge on top to give it some light
