Gang,
Nothing makes me more happy than to see nice people making nice designs and nothing feels better than knowing that my Photoshop brushes (Digital Stamps) helped a bit.
And that is exactly what happened when my old Facebook pal, Mojca, made this Wedding Photo Album. It’s really nice work and I’m especially glad that the bride liked the album too. That’s most important, after all :)
Thank you, Mojca, for sharing your work with us :) and keep them coming.
Also, I would like to use this opportunity to announce that the transfer of free downloads from Graphics-Illustrations.Com to greenbulbgang.com is successfully completed.

No matter how we call them: Digital Stamps, Digital Stencils or Photoshop Brushes, all of them can be used in many creative fields and one of them is: fabric design.
This sample will show you Birds Digital Stamps (45 of them in two sizes) and their usage on fabric on spoonflower.com
Thank you Vivayne for showing us another way to use digital stamps :)
You can get Birds Digital Stamps (Photoshop Brushes) in my little shop for $9.99 or in a big pack called 800+ MEGA Set or even in The Ultimate Photoshop Brushes CD. Whatever you choose you won’t regret it :)

Guys,
I received an email the other day. It came from Germany and it was from a young woman who’s dream is to be a fashion designer. She wanted to buy my 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET because the brushes there were just what she needed for her first fashion line but she wanted to make sure it is in line with my ToU before she makes a purchase.
Of course it was in line with my ToU! Actually, I was so happy that my brushes will be used that way that I decided to give her some of these brushes in as vector graphics as well!
When I was younger I dreamt the same dream. Wanted to be a fashion designer, making my own fashion lines… but life went into a different direction and now I’m graphic designer.
Anyways, what I wanted to say, it always amazes me to I see how many different and creative ways you find in using Photoshop brushes.
I mean, we did the boots design with Photoshop brushes, we made T-Shirts and socks, rubber stamps, packaging paper design, software application interfaces, that was fun, and I’d really really love to see C. making a success as a fashion designer.
Guys, I just needed to share with you, once again, how fascinated I am with the world of options we are surrounded with. Every day. If we just open our eyes.
Create, invent, discover!
Love,
Silvia

Gang,
I bet many of you were taking pictures on weddings. Either as a professional photographers or just wedding guests no matter, taking photos on weddings can be loads of fun and we can never have enough good and funny wedding photos. But, taking pictures can be just a beginning of one beautiful project. So, why not take the whole deal one step further and create a Wedding Photo Book?
Now, that’s something everyone will enjoy going through, isn’t it?
It doesn’t matter if you can’t or don’t have time to make all these decorations that need to be used in such project. In this little example I made a small demo of how Photoshop brushes can help when creating a Wedding Photo Book.
Basically, what I did, I took one wedding photo, several brushes from The Ultimate Photoshop Brushes CD , mixed them all up in Photoshop and – voila! Here is the front page and the first page of Wedding Photo Book.


You can do all that. All you need to know is how to load Photoshop brushes into Photoshop document, mix them up with wedding images, play a little with colors, dimensions, brush positioning on page and Wedding Photo Book is done in no time.
Ok. I hope you liked this little example and maybe some of you will want to try and make something like this with your self. Let me know how it goes.
Love ya all,
Silvia

What can I say? I was so happy when I realized that Google raised the ranking of this site to PR3! Happy, the least to say.
What does it mean – Page Ranking PR3?
Simply put, it means that Google trusts this site, it means that Google appreciates the fact that I am making original content, unique posts and that I publish my own brushes here. Google realized that I’m not just aggregating other people’s work here.
Also, it means that advertisers will want to, well, advertise more on this site because links from PR3 sites are quite valuable :).
But, above all, this confirms that I am on the right track being persistent, for a third year now, creating new and original content, Photoshop brushes, vector illustrations, backgrounds, tutorials and other useful stuff.
So, thank you Google, thank you visitors and I hope to see PR4 really soon :))
In the meantime, enjoy this site, join Green Bulb Gang and free downloads that we offer.
Love you all,
Silvia
