March 2025 Procreate Designs

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 ...

SSS Sketched Flowers - Thinking of You

Hello Lovely.  It's Tuesday and I've got a little hand colored number for you today.  I dug out my Primacolors and went to town on this card.  I love these pencils because they blend so beautifully.  I'm also completely head over heels for this Sketched Flowers stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.  I bought it because I loved the script of the sentiments, but once I had it in person I found the flowers to be every bit as awesome.


Because I worked with colored pencil I stamped the image with my favorite black, VersaFine Onyx Black, onto Strathmore Mixed Media Paper.  I'm not gonna lie, I really wish this ink worked well with Copics because it's my very favorite black.  I colored the image using my Prismacolor Scholar colored pencils.  Once the coloring was done I die cut my panel with the usual suspect, Stitched Rectangles from Simon Says Stamp, mounted it on a creamy yellow card base and completed the card by stamping the sentiment onto a smaller stitched rectangle in the same creamy yellow which I mounted on the card front with foam tape.
