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. Are you ready to get stitched? I'm a huge Jennifer McGuire fan and I've been checking out her stitching on paper recently. I love the look and I was a stitcher once upon a time and I still have my thread stash. Last week I took the plunge and ordered a die from My Favorite Things to start my paper stitching journey. Here's today's card.
I die cut the MFT Die-namics Scallop Cross-Stitch Tag from white cardstock. I filled in the grid using some Pearl DMC Thread I had in my stash and a pattern I found on Pinterest. I cut a second tag without the stitching holes to back the tag for a completed look.
I added some silver ribbon and tied a small bow at the top to secure it. I adhered the completed tag to a seafoam card base and added a die cut "Hello" using the small Hello die from Simon Says Stamp.
Thanks for swinging by today. I really love this new technique I've added to my card making and it's going to be perfect for traveling with.
