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.

| Thanks - Green Check by Inked Inspirations |
Today's card was inspired by Heather Hoffman's card that was shared on Lil' Inker Designs Instagram a while back.

Let's look at the elements that inspired me and the ones that I changed up a bit.
