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'm nothing if not cheap when it comes to wasting supplies. I won't toss paper scraps unless I'm sure I can't get something out of them. For these cards, I used both the positive and negatives of the aqua hearts.

In January, I made Valentine's Day cards with less traditional holiday colors. I kept the negative of the hearts as they were cut from some of my precut panels. They would be the perfect size for future card fronts.
For the above Valentine's Day cards I pulled a stash of older patterned paper cut a heart for the sentiment, and added a sprinkle of sequins. I had enough of the 6x6 paper to make two of these cards.
More recently I made the card above, using the negative of the heart, over top of some patterned paper, adding a sentiment heart, and using some eyelets from my stash. While this design is clean and very simple, it has some elegance and used the heart negatives I'd been hanging onto.
