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 ...
When I started with the stencils and stamps for the abstract card from last week I couldn’t help but make a few more. I pulled some additional stencils from the stash and my texture stamps. I opted for Distress Oxides on this one in Uncharted Mariner, Picked Raspberry, and Villanous Potion.
Back with the largest semi-circle, then into some older Crafter’s Workshop stencils. After applying the oxide ink I felt like a bit of black was needed to break things up and fill in the gaps, so I pulled a Kaisercraft text texture stamp and used a bit of Gina K Amalgam ink to add depth and texture. To add the sentiment I added a layered black and white circle.
Card three of this stenciling abstract design session has a more fall vibe. I used Distress Inks in Spiced Marmalade, Aged Mahogany, and Mustard Seed. I pulled some older See-D’s stamps for the leaves and used some Gina K Amagalm ink to add them to the panel. The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday Rejoice In Him and you guessed it I pulled out the stitched rectangles to trim the panel before adhering it to a black card base. I added a few sequins for a bit of sparkle to complete the card.
Card four of the abstract play is a bit bold and almost neon with Kitch Flamingo and Squeezed Lemonade Distress inks. I used the stamps from the Taylored Expressions abstract stamp set to add some bold black details with VersaFine Black ink. To balance the black I added a sentiment banner with the Taylored Expressions Beautiful Soul sentiment set, then adhered the panel on a black card base and finished the card with a few sequins.
