Fun with Brushes


I've been wanting to figure out how to use brushes in Illustrator for a while. I played around with it a little while ago trying to make a wedding announcement, and couldn't get it. But I decided to try again when I decided to donate Christmas cards for my auction item for Brayden's preschool. (We are all supposed to donate something worth $50 for the school's auction.) So my neighbor (who is a graphic designer) came over and gave me a brushes tutorial. It was soooooo fun!!!! I think I have a little (or a lot) more to learn about them, and I really wish I could take a class in Illustrator. But I know enough about them to get around. I think. Oh, and this isn't our Christmas card for the year, it's just one of the samples for the auction.

Katie said...

So cute!! That is so neat that you know how to do that stuff!

Really cute. It takes so much time to learn all of that stuff. Good job. Someday I want to do that too. For now I just use memory mixer. There's a much smaller learning curve but then not as many options for self exploration and creativity. I really like the card though.
