Gang,
June is almost finished and July is knocking at our doors. Are you enjoying this Summer?
We moved into our new, still not fully furnished house (kitchen still missing), and it’s nice to be surrounded by trees and flowers. It is especially nice not to need the heating ;) Poofah and Peacco are still adapting to the new environment, but, all in all, all is fine.
(This is Poofah and Peacco on the widnow. Photo effect by Hipstamatic for iPhone)
Now, where was I?
Ah, the July wallpaper calendar. This is one of the photos I made for various micro stock agencies where I sell my photos and I figured, why not use it for July 2010 wallpaper calendar. And here it is.

Apart from the photo of tomatoes under water, to make this one I used the following Photoshop brushes:

- Lightworks Photoshop Brushes set (61)
- 2010 Calendar Photoshop brushes set (3×12 – 36, US version)

OK. I hope you will like the calender and we’ll talk soon. I have one birthday card and envelope to show you :)
Cheers,

Whenever, someone buys 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET I offer additional free SPECIAL brush as a sign of gratitude to those who let me know how did they find me.
And I am thankful to all of you who replied. But, more often than not, many buyers also tell me why did thy buy that set. Now, that’s how I learned that many of my buyers are in Rubber Stamps business.
That is why it is important to them that my Photoshop brushes come with the commercial license (“Photoshop brushes CU OK”)
I did some investigation on Rubber stamps on the net and it seems like there is a money earning opportunity in Rubber Stamping. One way to make money with it is to create greeting cards for all kind of occasion, other one is to sell the rubber stamps. These brushes are not just used for Rubber stamps or greetings cards. They are also used for creation of customized gift items, such as bags or similar.
Number of independent rubber stamp designers are making money with their stamps (created with CU Photoshop brushes), and this number is growing. They sell their products via Etsy or similar web sites.
One of the main advantages is that even complete beginners achieve great results with rubber stamps in a very short time.
So, for those of you who are still not sure, I fully support all kinds of business ventures anyone comes up with, and I am always delighted to hear success stories, especially when my brushes had a role to play. If you are considering buying 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET, you can rest assure that you are allowed use them for your business ventures, whatever they are, as long as you don’t just repackage the brushes and sell them as brushes again.
OK. That’s it for today.
Love you all and, as always, never never forget, have fun creating, because whatever you do, it will always turn out well if you had fun doing it.
Yours,
Silvia

Coming Soon
Photoshop Text Effects Pack
An update: Photoshop Text Effects Pack is finished, and there’s a freebie too :)
I know, you must be wondering why on the world did I decide to use the Winter theme in the middle of the Summer? And you surely must be wondering why do I want to promote winter text effect, again, in the middle of the Summer?!

Anyhow, hereby I want to announce a new product. This time it is a pure PSD files with several layers. But, this one will enable you to get these text effects quickly and with no effort whatsoever.
I hope you will like it.
Of course, you will be able to lettering and the font as per you preferences.

So, Text Effect Pack will consist of 6 different text effect for Photoshop! Every text effect will be presented on 12×12 inches background suitable for the effect.
Some text effect will be linked to the background (like this one above) but you can change the background with another one from your photo-album (for example: if you took the picture of water drops that fall from the window you can use it in this psd file)
OK, that’s it. You just saw half of this new pack :) Next three text effects will be presented when completed :)
And the tutorial on how to use them is on it’s way too.
Have a great Sunday,

Guys,
Most of you already know how indispensable Photoshop brushes are when it comes to web and graphic design.
Examples of their use are everywhere. In this post I will show you how I used them to modify the original WordPress theme of this site and create something completely different.
Of course, for all modifications I used my own PREMIUM Photoshop brushes that are also available for sale in my little Photoshop brushes shop.
Don’t worry, commercial license is included with all brushes so you can use them in your commercial projects.
Background
First I changed the background and here is what Photoshop brushes did I use and where:
Grunge Stars, Custom and Splatters – Lite edition Photoshop brushes sets are available for FREE if you join GreenBulbGang.Com community.
Find these brushes in Graphics-Illustrations.Com Shop:
- Swirls Floral Photoshop Brushes set (42+42) Second Edition + 42 PNG files

Stickers, Lite edition Photoshop brushes set is available for FREE if you join GreenBulbGang.Com community.
Find these brushes in Graphics-Illustrations.Com Shop:
Banners
And here is how I used them to create banners:
So, to create banners I used:
As you can see, Photoshop brushes come really handy when you need to do web graphics.
I’d say, really really handy.
Of course, if you are into web or graphic design, or if you are planning to get into it, or just staring up, I would recommend one all-round, HUGE Photoshop brushes package and yes, that’s 800+ MEGA SET Photoshop Brushes I’m talking about!
These come with Commercial License, in a form of digital download, so you get to use them immediately right after the purchase.
