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've got another altered pattern paper card set for you today. I'm enjoying doing this little face-lift to supplies I already have. Have you tried updating your older papers with some background stamping yet? If not, here's a bit more inspiration.
For these cards, I used more of the older pattern paper from my stash. I used my large script stamp background and stamped each striped panel with Distress Oxide in Old Paper. I added the sentiment using the retired Neat and Tangled Kindness Maters stamp set and VersaFine Vintage Sepia ink. I inked the edges with some Distress Ink in Brushed Corduroy. Each panel was mounted onto a tan card base. That's it, clean and simple cards.
Thanks for swinging by. Now go dig out that older paper in your stash and try a little background stamping.
