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 ...
I've been on a roll busting through some of my pattern paper stash. If you're like me you used to scrapbook and you have this huge stash of pattern paper from years gone by. Maybe you bought it because you loved it but it was "too pretty" to use so you've hoarded it for that "perfect" project. Girl, that paper ain't getting any newer and that "perfect" project isn't gonna happen on its own.
My first step is to cut the 12x12 paper into six 4 x 5 1/4" panels. I usually use these panels for the base of the card design. Then there is some digging in the scrap box for other bits that will coordinate with the pattern panel. If I need additional inspiration I turn to my Pinterest board It's All In The Cards to find an idea that will spark my creativity. Ready for some inspiration? Here are my most recent stash-busting cards.
