Want to dig right into this collection and spend your day scrapping away your My Love page?

How long have you been designing?

I have been designing for six years. When I thought, “what will I be doing in five years,” I never thought I’d still be doing this! It’s great to see how much it’s grown and how strong it’s become.

How much time do you allocate to designing in a typical week?

Click here to find out more about becoming a Gold Member at DST so you can get this great kit and the next eleven to come!

Sometimes I can get away with 30 to 40 hours, but usually it’s a little more. I seem to work full-time every week.

If you’re running low on design mojo, where do you go to kick-start your creativity?

I step away from the computer for a few days and find other things to occupy my time. I enjoy sewing for my daughter when I need a break. I will sit and make her skirts until I feel inspired again and want to design.

from others is adding realistic textures. While there are many plug-ins for Photoshop you can purchase, they are not always necessary! PS contains all the power you need to create rich, realistic textures. Let’s look at using filters and layer styles to create a fur texture.

1. Create a new canvas at 12-by-12-inches, 300ppi. Fill the layer with a suitable color. For this example I am going to create giraffe fur patterned paper so I have chosen a suitable color (#c7aa6d)

4. Add an inner glow with the Layer Style Palette options to the selected pattern. Add a small amount of noise and match the color to your background.

2. Create a new layer and choose a darker color (#80624d).

Now, use the Lasso tool to create the shapes – ensure you have the add selection option chosen on the Options Bar.

the Layer Style Palette. Load Texture Fill 2 and choose the texture Thick Hair. Reduce the depth and scale to enhance the fur and then apply.

8. Right click the layer and select Group into Smart Object then right click again and select rasterize layer – this melds the layer style permanently.

6. Click OK to apply. Return to the filters menu and select Blur> Motion Blur. Select your desired angle – about 38 works best here-- and then apply enough blur so you get the fur look, but not enough to blur the results – about 18 works for this example. The background now has the appearance of fur. Select OK.

You can use this tutorial to create a fur texture for any shorthaired animal (i.e. zebra, tiger) paper or elements. The exact same method was used to create the giraffe element.
