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 ...

Mopping Up the Leftover Ink for Later Backgrounds

Never waste the ink or the paint on the palette.  If I've been watercoloring or making backgrounds I always mop up the leftovers with another panel.  That was the beginning of this card.  The leftover color pallet from watercoloring the Bright Snowflakes card.  I kept the rest of the card very basic.


Using Versafine ink, I stamped the sentiment and then stamped the ornament and sting part accordingly.  I added Perfect Pearls to the bubbles on the ornament.  End of story.
