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 lovingly refer to older pattern papers in my stash as vintage paper. It's paper I bought because I loved it, or in this case paper that was given to me by a friend who purged her scrapbooking stash. Many of us have these papers taking up space in our stash, papers we can't seem to let go of but still don't use.
I built this based on the inspiration of the "vintage" paper from my stash. It started life as a piece of 12" x 12" scrapbook paper, trimmed and inked to make it new again. By cutting a sheet of 12" x 12" into six 4" x 5 1/4" panels, the look of the paper often changes. Inking the edges with a bit of Distress Oxide toned the pattern down and turned it into a fun background. The large letters of the word Joy, along with the sentiment banner become the focal point of the card. No one will ever know this paper isn't this year's hot trendy one.
