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.

I have a few business clients that purchase handmade cards from me to send to their own customers. This past week I created some custom gift certificate cards for one of the loveliest hairstylists I know. Of course, she's my hairstylist and I've known her since she was in high school, but she really is lovely. Anywho...
I did a bit of graphic design and created a custom gift certificate for the inside of the handmade cards, using her logo and info. Created a four up sheet and had them printed at the local office supply.
To create the cards I using minimal supplies, as the paper I choose seemed to do the talking for this project. After creating the front panel of patterned paper I added a stamped sentiment panel with the words "for you" and added it to the center. The finishing touch was to add a smaller sentiment strip with the hint of a gift inside. They turned out so cute and she was tickled with the end product.
