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 ...
I've seen a number of no-line coloring tutorials on youtube and various blogs, but only recently did I get brave enough to try it. I love the results and I see more card in the future. This card took me a few hours but I found the process completely relaxing and challenging all at the same time.
I've had this stamp for years, it's a Santa Rosa dated 1997. Yes, I've been stamping that long. I love this stamp so much that I used it when I made our wedding invitations. My, how my style has changed over the last 11 years, well it will be 11 years in August.
I broke from the norm or Antique Linen, or at least that is what I've seen most card makers use for this techniques. I stamped my image on watercolor paper using Pumice Stone, then used additional Distress Ink colors for my watercolor pallet.
You might see the Abandoned Coral in the photo above, but I opted not to use it. I really liked the soft pastel look, so I stayed with the more muted tones. I used a very diluted bit of Pumice Stone to tint the white flowers.
