My core Sparkle Squad are aware of my expansion from handmade jewelry design to digital graphics since learning how to use multiple desktop software such as CorelDraw, Adobe Creative Cloud for Photoshop (PS Elements is also good) & Microsoft Word. I also love to use free or paid mobile apps or programs such as piZap, Picmonkey, Canva, inPixio, and Ripl.
I employ several resources in the creation of my digital graphics such as paid subscriptions, memberships, Etsy artists, copyright/ royalty free art and designs in the public domain. Some sites that I’ve used are 123RF, Dreamstime, Creative Market, DepositPhotos, Pixabay, and Fotor.
I don’t currently create fonts and stand-alone clipart, however, I do utilize them along with patterns and embellishments to layer up and create an original printable file available for instant download. I mainly focus on making bottle caps and greeting cards, but have special requests for all sorts of files to include tiled images, maps and jewelry packaging.
