To celebrate my new hand drawn envelope stamp set, this week, we’re making some envelope art! And if you’ve been here for any length of time, you already know that means we’re bringing florals to the party 🌸

I couldn’t pick a favorite project, so this week’s tutorial is 3 put together 😂These are all beginner friendly and quick to create!

One of Spring’s first cues here in the south are moths flying around porch lights in the evenings. This sent me down a rabbit hole of ideas and searching through pages of moth photography 😂There are just.soooo.many! And many beautiful ones I had never seen before. Instead of just illustrating a moth, this week, we’re adding a little doodle magic and lots of fun, gritty texture. ✨

To keep things extra organized this year, I thought it’d be fun to create a new calendar design (here’s last year’s version!). For this one, we’ll be creating a versatile wreath that can be used for any month of the year. I’m also sharing a new method I’ve come up with for creating uniform spacing within the calendar no matter what size 2D grid you use 🙂

Happy Tuesday! This week, we’re focusing on embellishing lettering with some simple, but striking 3D effects! We’ll begin by centering stacked lettering, adding an inline, then we’ll add in that 3D goodness with an extrusion, extrusion details, an extrusion long shadow and we’ll finish it off with a hairline highlight.

Spoiler: anyone who freehands beautiful line art florals practiced them by tracing or copying them at some point in time. Instead of just tracing them this week with one line, we’ll be pulling a section of florals from an existing bouquet, customize it to fit our needs, then bring the line drawing to life by adding some digital watercolor with pretty blends to finish it off. Although it starts with a basic trace, it finishes with a completely original piece of work you can use for any occasion. ✨

It’s no secret I loooove painting wreaths in Procreate, but I realized that I had yet to share an asymmetrical one! We’re fixing that this week with a foliage-packed, twisted vine, beginner friendly asymmetrical wreath in Procreate!  Pop this onto your IG feed, print it on stationery, or just pretty up your Procreate gallery with it. 


We use several different brushes from my gouache lovers set, but this can be accomplished with any brushes you’d like – just make sure you’re using pressure sensitive brushes so you’ll get some pretty line weight variation 😉

Happy Tuesday! We had a few 70*F weather days in February here, so springtime has been on my mind a lot lately. In the spirit of the upcoming season (for those of us in the Northern hemisphere), I’ve got a spring themed sales tag this week for you! You can use this for any kind of promo throughout the year, or change up the messaging to create a fun gift tag for any personal occasion, too!

Happy Tuesday! While birthdays aren’t what they used to be as you get older (I’ll be 35 on Sunday) and now we also have a pandemic thrown in, I say let’s celebrate the little things by throwing some digital confetti 😉 For all of your celebrations this year, I have a very beginner friendly confetti animation this week to cheer things up!
