Brushes... RUN, don't walk!

[kimi_boo]

These are a must have! Hopefully you have set up a brush folder outside of Elements. We went over that in Homework lesson #8.
Here is the link with the directions and it has the link to Jason's brushes at Design Fruit.
(if you do not have these brushes, shame on you!)

I have run across 2 others that work with Jason's. They have some very cool brushes. One is a kind of Dr. Seuss world. Fly Guy also has Pattern Brushes that are to die for. :D

There is one more.

All of these finds are thanks to http://spraguelab.squarespace.com/

Kimi- I thought YOU posted her link here?! Anyway, I'm on her list and love getting her tutorials on Fridays. And I've already downloaded those brushes!!

[kimi_boo]

Michelle... only one more day!! :D

Kay, I could have sworn I found it here. :rolleyes:

Haven't got to play with all of them. Hubby is making work on my taxes. :mad:

OK,

Here is something I threw together. Used Flydeco as the background and the colored ones are from Geisel Garden.:D

Kimi-
That is great. I've only 6 1/2 hr. to go:D
I stayed away from the forum most of today so the temptation wouldn't get me

Long day too. went with daughter to start looking at condos/townhouses:eek:

Kimi,
For Elements 5.0, do I need to download the layers file for the Fresh Foliage Photoshop Brushes?

The Fresh Foliage Photoshop Brushes are very lovely.

Kimi,

I like what you "threw together". Are Flydeco and Geisel Garden brushes? If they are brushes, what brush set are they in?

[kimi_boo]

Grace .. the brushes are in the links above. (first post)

all you have to do in but the abr. thumbnail in your brush folder.

[JulieM]

Thanks for the tip, Kimi! These are great brushes...

[GraceT]

Kimi, many thanks. :)

I just want to say what a disgusting thing you did by posting this thread...:(




















I had tried staying away from brushes for several months now and was so proud of my self.:) So like an idiot I said, I will just try one or two of these, I got a few minutes. Now 6 hours later and I'm still messing with them. It's all your fault for me wasting my weekend. :D Next time post them on a Monday or something. Anyway, thanks for your thread it was fun.

Happy Easter

Ross

[kimi_boo]

Ross, is there an empty space because you added an image?

I would love to see what you worked on. :)

[msbrad]

YA HOO!!! I've got the brushes DL now:D

[kimi_boo]

[msbrad]

Oh Kimi, I sure do!! But at least stuff is getting DL.

[NRiceDesigns]

BAD GIRL... Bad, bad girl! You're tempting me to download another brush when you know I'm an brush / font / custom shape / scrapbook kit addict who can't stop with just one download. Aren't you ashamed of what you're about to force me to do? You're going to crash my overloaded hard drive. I won't, I won't, I...um... well... grrr..., oh d-a-r-n...what were those links again? :cool: ~Nita

[kimi_boo]

Nita, I am so glad you can control yourself. :D

Do show us when you use them on something. ;)

Michelle, get with it girl. You are not that much further south than me. :p

[apasskey]

Yay Kimi - Thanks again!! Those Dr Suess ones are GREAT!!! :D
Congratulations Michelle - you made it!! ;)

Andie

[Diana]

Thanks Kimi,

I already had the Fresh Foliage brushes and use them a lot (I see you use them a lot too). But I downloaded the Geisel brushes. One of those sites you linked to also led me to this site with another bunch. Oh, what to do.....so many brushes and so little time!:eek:

Diana

[kimi_boo]

Diana, I thought I had searched thru all of their links. :p

Is it a bad sign when I have almost everything that is on the first page? ;)

[Diana]

Here's one that looks like what you would like:

Edit: Sorry, I guess they're not free.

Thought I'd post a sample of a card I made using some of these new brushes:

Mostly used Flydeco except for the flower and I can't remember which brush set that was from. Another one Kimi recommended, I'm sure.

[Diana]

I didn't find these at first in those links, so maybe some of you didn't find these either. Those who use and love the two Fresh Foliage sets will want these Japanese Foliage brushes:

Diana

[JulieM]

And another card. This one using primarily the Geisel Garden brushes and a font called Grinched.

[kimi_boo]

[neecy]

i had so much fun making this! http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=13Oa4W8CVBOJmq3bPQuZKyVvqljH1 now i know why these are addicting. skipped lunch and thinking about skipping dinner too. this is my first time at pixentral so if it not right please let me know.

[neecy]

how do i make the image show up in a post?

[JulieM]

Neecy: I love it - the colors are fabulous. To get the image to appear in the post: click and save the second URL link when you post to Pixentral rather than the first. Then insert that into the post where you want the photo to appear.

[Wendy]

Hey that is fantastic !! :)

Wendy

[kimi_boo]

Neecy... how did you do the background? I love all of the different colors. :D

On Pixentral... look under your image and copy the url address on the one that says forum. Then just paste it into you post.

[neecy]

i was recovering from an illness and started playing around with the filters in pse. i honestly don't remember exactly how and its been a 1 1/2 years since i've made any. that one started out as autumn leaves. i've kept them, figuring i'd find something to do with them sooner or later. as soon as i started playing with the brushes, a lightbulb went off in my head! just to show you how varied the results can be, this one started out as flowers in a garden. i'll work on some kind of loose "recipe" for this if you'd like. play around, distort things! i've used so many filters like pointillize, liquify, extrude, just curious to see what they were. felt good to think outside the box.

[JulieM]

Pssssssssssstttt! Did you know Flyguy has a new set of Seuss-inspired brushes? Geiselville.
