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 ...
Here we are again, talking about Distress Inks, but this time it's about re-inkers. My favorite thing about Distress Inks and Distress Oxides is the water-reactive property both inks have. The Distress Reinkers can be used as a concentrated watercolor with amazing results. After coloring the Warm Wishes Snowflake card I had quite a bit of color left on my glass mat. Rather than waste it, I soaked it up with a watercolor panel. Because there was a bit of Perfect Pearls in the color mixture, the end result was a beautiful shimmering sea of blue and green.
I kept the card simple with a background stamp, some embossing powder, and a few tiny sentiments. To complete the card I mounted the panel on silver paper before adhering it to a white card base.
