10. Adding Digital Brushes

Digital brushes bring loads of personality. Jen Lessinger used them on her background and tags.

TIPS
• Take a tone. Jen didn’t have a patterned paper that worked well with her theme, so she placed brushes in a hue similar to her cardstock on a blank canvas in Adobe Photoshop CS2 and printed the document on the cardstock for a tone-on-tone look.

• Do it yourself. Can’t find the brush you’re looking for? Make your own. Jen created a text brush that says “to infinity and beyond” to complement the rockets. Download our step-by-step instructions here.

SOURCES Cardstock: DMD Industries. Font: Pastelaria off the Internet. Tags: Avery Dennison. Epoxy stickers: Autumn Leaves. Acrylic accent: KI Memories. Digital brushes: Two Peas in a Bucket. Design: Jen Lessinger.
