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 watched Jennifer McGuire's video Creative Uses of Background Stamps and was inspired. I was stumped by a request for some thank you cards. After watching Jennifer's video I had my aha moment.
I love a simple card with subtle layers. I created the geometric backgrounds using Distress Oxide Ink in Lucky Clover and Gathered Twigs and cut the panel with a large stitched rectangle die. The Thank you was stamped in VersaFine Vintage Sepia ink onto a small rectangle, also cut with a stitched rectangle die. I used a tiny heart stamp and the Lucky Clover ink to create a shamrock in the upper right corner.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you the brand of stamps used for the geometric background or the Thank You. They're stamps I've had in my stash for quite a while.
