Looking back on the art I’ve been making for the past few months I’ve done quite a bit of digital work. I started really delving into Procreate when we went on Vacation earlier this year, and I haven’t stopped exploring the possibilities since. While planning for our vacation in late February and early March of his year I opted to take only my camera and iPad. No knitting, no sketch book, no art supplies. This was the first time I’d ever taken only my iPad, with the intent of creating art while on a vacation. I had a plan to limit my supplies and challenge myself to only using procreate. My plan worked, I learned a lot about procreate and I enjoyed to process. The biggest thing I learned was how very freeing being able to sit on the couch or the porch at night with just an iPad and a pencil was. There was no figuring out where to put supplies, or how to juggle a sketchbook on my lap, or being confined to the table. The other bonus ...
Lately, I've been working with the different color mediums I have in my creative stash. I've owned my set of Inktense pencils for a while and only used them a handful of times. In an effort to stretch my creative muscles, I pulled these pencils from the drawer and set about using them a bit this past week. The Mother's Day card from Wednesday's post was also done with these lovely pencils. Let's get to the card details.
I started this card panel by stamping a repeating pattern with the WPlus9 Beautiful Bouquets Mums stamp using VersaFine ink onto Bristol Smooth Cardstock.
I started with the blue background using Sea Blue. I layered in a few lines of color and then brought in clean water, adding more color as needed. You can easily add color to wet areas by taking a wet brush to the tip of the pencil, picking up the pigment and then applying to the paper as needed.
I used all three of the greens in the set, Leaf Green, App;e Green and Teal Green, to create variation in the leaves. Each type of leaf is a combination of two colors. The berries are a blend of Fuchsia and Poppy Red, while the small pink flowers are Fuchsia.
The yellow mums are a base of Sun Yellow with highlights of Tangerine. To create the variegated look I drew lines of the Tangerine on random petals, then I pulled pigment from the Sun Yellow and painted it over top to blend out the lines of already applied color.
Once the panel was completely dry I took a Micron 02 pen and outlined all of the images on the card. This dark outline really made all the colors pop.
To complete the card I die cut the panel with the largest of the Stitched Rectangle dies from Simon Says Stamp, added a bit of Wink of Stella to the flowers and some dots of White Souffle Pen to the berries and flower centers, last, but not least I added the greeting. This greeting is from the Simon Says Birthday Flowers set and was stamped with VersaFine Ink onto white cardstock. I fussy cut it, leaving a thin white border and popped it up with some foam tape.
I hope you enjoy how this card turned out. I've linked to the supplies below. Thanks for stopping by.
