Dynamic Brushes

I just created a new brush set of blossoms today. Below is a tutorial on how to create this autumnal background paper.

1. Create a new photoshop document, 8×8″ or 12 x 12″.

2. Select a light color and one of the scatter brushes from the brush set.
Paint across the entire area of the page.

3. Create a new layer and with the same scatter brush, paint lightly across it with a darker color.

4. To make a more ephemeral effect, give the second layer an “Inner Glow” layer effect, using a light color.

5. Flatten your image, save the file and ENJOY!

Using the brushes from the previous post, I worked really hard to put together some flower arrangements that will be useful for scrapbookers. This set of transparent png files is great for easily pasting on a layout. I’m happy to announce that I’m giving 3 of them away, completely free! (Just click on the thumbnails below and they will open up as high res files ready for download.)

This picture was so easy and fun to make with this brush, which I’m giving away free. The image itself is on sale for $3. (Contact me and I’ll send you the high res file.) Print it on good quality paper, I recommend 250 – 300g matt paper. Hang it in the hallway or give it to a friend:0)  Size: 30 x 10cm.
