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 ...
Hello Lovely. I'm little more ahead of the game this week. The colors for The Color Throwdown were releases yesterday and I got busy. We're nearing the end of July and I'm ready to put the Christmas stamps away for a couple of months, but before I do here's one more Christmas in July post.
The colors for Color Throwdown #503 are - red, green and grey. If you would like to learn more about the Color Throwdown you should check out their blog. New colors are posted every week.
I had to make just one, okay two, more cards with the masking stencil technique. I started with a circle stencil, made using acetate and my Simon Says Stamps Stitched Circles. I cut a mask from a full stick Post-it note using the Leaping Dear die from Memory Box and positioned it into the center of the circle. I layered on the Tim Holtz Flourish stencil and stated my ink blending with Fired Brick and Peeled Paint Distress Ink.
Once my background was completed I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts Joy to the World stamp set and added a bit of detail with a small branch stamp from the Simon Says Stamp Hello Friends set. I used VersaFine Onyx Black ink for both. Then I trimmed the panel to 4 x 5 1/4 - inches and adhered it to a smoke grey card base.
Thanks for swinging by. I'll be back tomorrow with some ideas for using pattern paper.
