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.

Hello Lovely. Fall is upon us here in Alaska, whether or not we're ready. Today's card is a clean and simple design, but sometimes we all need a bit of clean and simple inspiration. Of course, this card includes my favorite technique - ink blending.
Simplicity is golden here with embossing resist and ink blending. I stamped a leaf pattern panel using the Ornate Leaves stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and VersaMark Ink. I embossed all the leaves with Ranger Super Fine Clear embossing powder. I blended a bit of Dried Marigold Distress Ink over each leaf, leaving some white areas as I went. To complete the card I used the Stitched Rectangles die from Simon Says Stamp to cut the leaf panel, then matted it on black cardstock before adhering it to a white card base. The finishing touch was to add the "A Bit of Kindness" die cut from black cardstock using the Hero Arts die.
Thanks for swinging by today. Enjoy making something clean and simple today.
