Work was so slow today that I couldn’t help but sit there wishing that I was crafting. Browsing blogs, I came across this week’s CASE Study Challenge with Jocelyn Olson as the muse. Jocelyn is known for her use of digital elements in her designs, and with a computer loaded with Photoshop at my disposal, I thought I would give digital design a try for the first time. I’ve long avoided it because I typically love how this hobby gets me away from the computer, but my office isn’t stocked with ink or paper!

Using Jocelyn’s card as a guide, I researched how to use what is called a “digital brush” online and downloaded one from Adrienne Looman, whom I found on Jocelyn’s blog. This is basically an electronic file that contained these flower images. From there, I started adding them to my file in a variety of colors until the last thing to do was print out the image. I came home and trimmed it down to make the card. The Hero Arts sentiment was heat embossed in white onto the green cardstock, and I was excited to find the huge blue button to match in my stash.

Enjoy your weekend!
