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 back today with a bit of stitching. I'm really enjoying stitching and how portable this can be. Last weekend we took a long weekend and I packed a bit of stitching with me. It was perfect for the car ride and to keep my hands busy while we relaxed in the hotel room. I was able to complete a few stitched tags during our weekend getaway, this is just one of them.
I currently only have one stitching die so you might get tired of it by the time I get another one, but I love it. This tag was cut from kraft cardstock using the MFT Die-namics Scalloped Cross-Stitch Tag die. I used this pattern from MFT free printable resources and stitched the hearts with DMC size 5 embroidery thread #926. I finished the tag by backing it with a solid tag of the die cut in kraft cardstock, added some gauze ribbon to the top and tied a bow with matching string. I stamped "Sending Hugs" in the lower right corner onto a card base that matched the thread, then added the tag to the card base.
Thanks for swinging by today. If this card inspired you, stay tuned. There will be more stitched tag cards coming soon.
