So what is this you might ask? It is my last minute version of a craft for Ground Hog’s Day. I can’t be the only one who decides the day of to do a craft and wing it, right? It looks more like a bear🤣but it was suppose to be a groundhog with facts about Ground Hog’s Day. No directions required just pull construction paper and glue. You’re welcome!😉 ... See MoreSee Less

Love that Halloween paper! I've always wanted to learn how to design digital paper. Is it difficult?

Yes, {kinda} – mostly just practicing over and over! It is like any learning curve the more you do, the better you get. When I look back at my stuff now compared to when I first started, I see such a big difference!!! I use Photoshop and I have watched my fair share of You Tube How To videos to figure out how to apply a texture, brushes, or patterns. Sometimes you can purchase overlays for commercial use then blend them in with your own designs. In Photoshop it is all about layering. For example, the freebie above: each sheet has about 4-5 layers per piece, so it is not just dumping a paint bucket onto the image!! Then within each layer I move around the lighting and transparency. If you do ever start, I would recommend Photoshop for digital work.
I have a new obsession with digital papers, and your Halloween papers look great!
