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 recently purchased a few of the Big & Bold stamp sets from Colorado Craft Company. The images in these stamp sets are much larger than the standard A2 size card, but that didn't stop me from using this large perfume bottle.
I stamped the large image on the left side of the card with parts of the image hanging off of the white panel using Gina K Amalgam ink. Gina K's Amalgam ink is Copic safe, meaning that once dry alcohol markers won't smear the stamped image.
The flowers were colored with RV10, RV000, V95, and V91. I used YG67 and YG17 on the leaves. I created a bit of a shadow on the perfume bottle with B000, to give an effect of glass. The labels on the bottle were colored in BV31and BV23.
To the right side of the panel, I added some ink blending with the mini dots stencil from Echo Park with a bit of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. After the ink blending, I cut the panel with the Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangles.
To complete the card, I mounted the panel on a black mat and then adhered it to a white card base. For finishing touches, I added Nubo Crystal Glaze over the entire perfume bottle for the illusion of glass and added several white pearls. Once my glaze was dry I added some shimmer to the label with a shimmer pen.
