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 don't know about you, but this time I year I see a lot of Christmas and Holiday Cards and not much else. As makers, I feel like we get hyperfocused on holiday cards and forget about the other kinds of cards we could be making. Birthdays still happen in the winter and we still want to keep in touch with friends and family, don't we?
This card follows the same techniques as the Bright Snowflakes and Poinsettia cards. I created the background with Distress Oxides, stamped the snowflakes over top, and embossed with silver embossing powder. Then I went back in and used Distress Inks to watercolor the snowflakes. I finished the card by adhering the panel onto a grey card base, then added the sentiment label with brads, popped up with foam tape.
