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. I'm back today with another stitched card. This is the second butterfly I created a couple of days ago. Don't you just love how this pattern looks with the variegated thread?
I cut some soft gray cardstock using the My Favorite Things Cross Stitch Scalloped Tag die and used the same butterfly pattern from Tuesday's post. You can find it here on the MFT Printable Resources page. I used DMC size 5 thread in #4237 to stitch the butterfly. I completed tag by stamping the sentiment "sending good vibes" from the new Tiny Words from Simon Says Stamp using VersaFine Smoky Gray ink, adhered a tag back in the soft gray, added some organdy ribbon and secured it with a bow.
To complete the card I used the same gray cardstock for the base, add a white panel I die cut using the Kat Scrappiness Peacock Backdrop die, then I adhered the completed tag.
Thanks for swinging by today. Tomorrow I'll have one more stitched card for you.
