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 ...

Herd of Moose

I’ve spent the last couple of days working on a custom order creating a heard of moose thank you cards. Funny story, these cards. I took a few samples of the moose I had stamps in black and white to show my client the moose options I had. We talked about me not hand coloring them. There was even a discussion about how cute they were just in black and white.  Then I got back to the studio..and...well...I couldn’t help myself. Thes moose are just so much cuter in full color.


Not only did I color the moose, but several of the cards also ended up as scenes with mountains, grass, and even some clouds.  I had a blast building these and working with new ideas. Scene building is a somewhat new technique to me.  


I used a diagonal line stencil to add a bit of an aurora effect to a few of them.  These are after all cards for an Alaskan business.  


I know my client is going to love them.  Here's a look at the finished set of 12.  I created three of each design and I think they turned out darling.  


Here's a list of some of the supplies I used.  

Technique: Stamping, Ink Blending, Die Cutting

Retired Products:  Papertrey Ink Inside & Out Thank You Stamp Set, Carta Bella Destination Stripe Stencil
