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 had my Honey Bee Layering Balloons Stencils out for the cards I talked about yesterday, I actually created four backgrounds. I turned those backgrounds into six cards. To see the first four cards check out yesterday's post - Inspired by Kelly - Two for One Balloon Cards.
For the first card, I used Distress Ink in Villanous Potion, Peacock Feathers, and Cracked Pistachio to build my layered balloon background. I cut three of the Pretty Pink Posh Happy Birthday sentiment and glued them together to build some dimension. Keeping things simple I added the A2 panel onto a white card base and glued the sentiment in the lower half of the card.
For card two, I used Mustard Seed, Peacock Feathers, and Salty Ocean. I pulled the Absolutely Fabulous dies from My Favorite Things and die-cut the top portion of the panel. Next, I adhered the balloon panel to a white panel and die-cut the two layers with the largest of my stitched rectangles. I stamped "have an" above "absolutely" before mounting the panel onto a black card base. Next, I used black cardstock and die cut fabulous. To complete the card I added a small banner with the word birthday heat embossed in white and a few matching gems.
