Gang, creating photo manipulation of wedding images is getting more and more popular. And for a good reason too. Wedding photos make great polygon for Photoshop exhibitions and I made one too :)
So, if you are interested to learn about wedding photo manipulation, here is a little tutorial!
Ingredients:
1. Here’s my choice for today’s Wedding Photo Manipulation.
- For this tutorial you will have to use your own image of the bride, but, just for learning purposes you could use any image
- Trees (download here)
- Sky with clouds (download here)
- Moon (wikipedia download from Luc Viatour)
- Mr. Alphons I, Mr. Alphons II
- Photoshop brushes Hearts
Once got our ingredients ready, together with a cup coffee, let’s dive into it.
1. Since I had the image in RAW format, I tweaked it during the import
- in Lightroom I used Color Creative CP2 preset.
If you don’t use Lightroom, here are the color preferences for RAW in Photoshop:
2. Now apply same color preferences for the two background images
3. Open the image with the trees. This will be the main background.
4. Place an image with the clouds above the background image and use the “Hard Light” layer option, with 57% Opacity.
5. And now, let’s clean it up a bit.
- Add layer mask on the image with the clouds.
- Draw a rectangle in the “mask area”.
- Fill the rectangle with a gradient: from black to none (empty). The grass is hidden and the clouds will fit well in the scene.
6. Let’s copy the main background image (with the trees) using “Multiply” layer option, Opacity is at 68%
7. Lighten the grass in the front of the scene, because we want to emphasize the front. Add a layer mask, and again: draw a rectangle and fill it with a gradient: from black to none (empty)
8. Open the image with the bride and using the Quick Mask option “color” erase the background. Simply turn off Quick Mask when you are done and invert the selection area then erase it.
9. Now add a bride in the scene, just drag and drop. Place it under the tree and using Burn Tool darken the areas that will be in the shadow.
10. Using the Burn Tool darken the grass – create the shadow behind the bride, drawing shadow on the main background image.
11. Now, let’s add the moon. Open the moon file and using Elliptical Marquee Tool and “Shift” key draw a circled selection. Invert the selection and cut out the moon.
12. Color the moon with blue using Hue/Saturation.
First, set the foreground color.
Open Image – Adjustment – Hue/Saturation and check the Colorize option. Click OK, it’s done. The moon is blue.
13. Now create a layer set and change the set option into “Color Dodge”. Drag and drop the moon image into that layer set.
14. Now, copy the background with the trees as many times as you want to achieve the night feeling in the scene. I copied it four times. Merge all 5 layers (background images with the trees).
15. Now use the Dodge Tool, and lighten the image below the moon creating the moonlight effect.
Set up the Dodge Tool as shown.
16. Create a new layer in the layer set with “Color Dodge” style. Add some Hearts brushes (various sizes) and apply Filter – Blur – Gaussian Blur. Create another layer and repeat the same, but use less Gaussian Blur in order to create 3D effect. (How to instal and use Hearts Photoshop brushes – design an unique wedding invitation – video tutorial MP4)
17. Also use simple brush, with 0% Hardness and approx 30 px size.
18. I added a sleeping cat too. The process is the same as for the bride.
19. Another cat (same my Mr. Alphons) is added behind the tree trunk. Of, course, he is not behind the tree but dark bark was good to hide his body…
And here is out final result! Voila!
My cousin loved it, I hope you like it too!
In case you liked the Hearts Photoshop brushes touch, these are available in my Photoshop brushes store with commercial license so you can create commercial projects with them.
That’s all folks! Talk soon!

I noticed, ever since I started my Photoshop brushes business that many of my buyers are using Photoshop brushes to create their own custom stamps. And this is, mainly, for two different purposes (which sometimes overlap).
1. They use these stamps in their own DIY projects like scrapbooking or similar
2. And more often then not, they use Photoshop brushes to create designs for stamps which are then being sold to stamp buyers.
And this is all well. The whole idea behind my Photoshop brushes is to help you guys, not just create stuff for your own needs, but also to help you create new stuff out of it (like rubber stamps) and make some money along the way.
There are quite a few services out there offering custom stamps. Most of them offer quick and easy on-line stamp creation. Of course, although most of you will be interested in creation of custom stamps for your scrapbooking and DiY craft needs, still, you might want to have your own signature stamps as well. Or you might want to have a stamp with your logo on it.
So, in this little exercise, I wanted to see for myself how fast and how easy it is to create your own logo stamp with a little help from Photoshop brushes.
And, believe me, it was faster then I though. Before starting the process there are few rules to know.
- First, the image you’d like to have on your stamp must be in full black color. Your stamp can, later on, be in red or other color, but the image you are uploading must be black.
- Resolution of the image must be 300dpi. My brushes are in high resolution so this is not a problem.
- File formats: cdr, ai, eps, tif, psd, jpg, gif and pdf. Of course, in this case .jpg is probably our choice
So, the procedure is quite simple, create a new file in Photoshop, make it a desired size, but the resolution must be 300dpi, add a Photoshop brush which you’d like to turn into stamp and save the file in .jpg format. (Notice: You might want to crop image so that the blank space between the brush and the edge of the image is maximally reduced.)
Now, step two, on the stampxpress.com, you will go to “Design Your Own Stamp” option and upload the file. You may choose to have up to 20 lines in your stamp but in most of the cases, 3 should be enough. You also get to choose the font type, size, attribute (bold, italic, underline) and the alignment.
And this is how I created a stamp for Graphics-Illustrations.Com.
Finally, many of you will go and look for discount stamps. For these, as well stampxpress.com is probably the right address.

Guys,
Most of you already know I’m all about working from home and helping others to do the same. Working from home has many advantages and disadvantages.
However, advantages upbeat disadvantages and what happened to me a few days ago clearly proves it. I simply could not imagine or think of a nicer Christmas surprise gift then the one I got from a dear friend of mine: Fiona Watson.
And here is what I got from her:
Of course, Christmas tree ornaments immediately found their place on my Christmas tree! :)
Now, “What’s so special about these gifts?”, some might ask.
Plenty of things, but let’s just name the most important ones:
- Fiona is a person who I admire and respect so much. Getting a surprise gift from her makes this gift, well, very special.
- Fiona just started a work from home business, and it takes strength and courage to do that.
- The gifts she sent me are awesome (They represent the kind of items she sells on her ETSY Store [Link to Fiona's ETSY Store Figero Design ->])
- Some of the presents I got from her are decorated with my Photoshop brushes, so how could I be more proud and happy?
So. What can I say? Way to go Fiona! You are doing a wonderful job and I am sure your work will be a success on ETSY, so hold on there, keep on doing the great job and a 2012. will be a year of success to you.
Love you all! I hope this post helped at least some of you will find inspiration and encouragement for your own digital creative plans or projects. If you feel you should do it, just do it and next year will be the greatest year no matter what they say :))
Hugs&kisses everyone!

Do It Yourself Christmas Photo Card and this one is very easy – just “slide” your photo into the template.
Gang, Christmas is knocking on the door. For the most of us, this is the time we’ve been waiting for since January 2011. And, finally, it’s December which marks the beginning of - Good Times !
So, what do we do for Christmas? Loads of stuff, I know, but, one of the inevitable things we do is sending Christmas Cards!
And, for this purpose, I prepared one totally cool template (at least I’d like to believe it’s totally cool :)) which you can download, ”slide” your photo in and – voila! Christmas Photo Card is finished!
Today’s free download includes two transparent PNG files and one multilayered PSD file. (All in one zip file). PSD files contains images and wordings too!
[ Download Free Christmas cards here ]
To make this template I used:
Fonts:
Ma Sexy from dafont.com
Windsong from dafont.com
Photoshop brushes:
Christmas II Photoshop Brushes (20+20+20) + 20 PNGs
Christmas Photo Card with one photo – add some cool background or macro shot you have.
Christmas Photo Card with three photos – it can be your family members for instance.
Don’t forget you can edit the text too :) I mean, if you’re good with Photoshop you can edit everything, twist and tune it until you love it! ;)
OK, Gang, this was rather short … and sweet I hope. Don’t forget to check out the awesome Cyber Week sale I have here and keep that lovin’ feeling :)

Christmas time is coming and I know many of you, just like me, enjoy creating your own decorations at home, in the company of your friends and family. It’s more fun and these decorations have much bigger value than the ones bought in the mall.
So, today, I came up with this idea of creating a wreath. And, as a basis for it, I used styrofoam. I made it with the stuff I had at home and I hope you will like it enough to try and do something like this yourself, following this DIY tutorial.
1. Printing images
Print some of your photos, use images of your friends, family, or pets (as I did in this occasion) … in 2×2 inches size. Of course, I could not resist but to decorate my images with Photoshop brushes: Christmas II Photoshop Brushes (20+20+20) + 20 PNGs, and I used them as photo masks (there are few brushes in a set which can be used as photo masks too. Also I used one of the free Photoshop brushes from GreenBulbGang.Com – Grunge Stars)
And, well, I printed them out …
2. Preparation
Prepare the following: styrofoam, fabric, colorful fabric ribbons, wire, pine cones, gold color, glue gun.
3. Cutting the styrofoam (Part I)
Before cutting a circle, of course, we need to mark the styrofoam, I draw two circles using a pen, pick and a rope. No, that’s not my hand :) My hubby helped me.
4. Cutting the styrofoam (Part II)
That’s it. Now I had to cut it out. First I cut the smaller one. I know there is a styrofoam cutter, but I do not have it. So I used a simple knife. It was really messy. But I manage it.
5. Voila, that was the hardest part!
The hardest part is done! You can always buy something like this in a store. But I didn’t. Because this is DIY Christmas wreath :)
6. Dressing up
I dressed-up this wreath-to-be in a dark green cloth decorated with gold stars, moons and other drawings… I glued the cloth to the styrofoam with a glue gun. Yes, that’s me gluing the cloth :)
7. Dressing-up – completed
And, here’s the result:
8. Wiring and decorating
Now, I cut some wire and simply clasped it around the wreath-to-be. The upper part was twisted in a spiral so that we can insert the images. I didn’t have thicker wire. If I had a thicker wire I’d just pin it in the styrofoam. Also, I prepared pine cones and sprayed them with gold color.
9. Pine cones
Finally I glued the pine cones with a glue gun.
10. Inserting the photos
OK. That’s it. Now is time for printed images! Cut them, and glue them over the spiral wire. If you just attach them into spiral, they will fall off.
11. The final touch
I felt this wreath was missing something, so I added red and gold ribbons all around it.
12. OK. One more final touch
I added some bows around wires too!
13. And … voila!
Finito! bsilvia Christmas Wreath (2011/2012 edition) is ready! :))
I hope you will like it and maybe even try to do it yourself. Should you have any questions, let me know I will be more than happy to help.
Here is what Mr. SpaceCat thought of it:
Mr. Alphons was not impressed either
But, the old queen, Poofah, she wanted to eat the pine cones ?!?!?
Love you all, have fun and may the peace be with you.

This post is going to be somehow different. It will be about our heart (not just heart graphic), positive energy vibration and quantum physics. It is, basically, something I wrote into my diary, but then I decided to share it with you:
…
Now it’s clear. It is the emotional vibration that makes things happen. It’s not the thoughts, although the thoughts can help to generate that emotional vibration.
Tesla also said that. Energy supersedes matter.
However, the real issue is – how to get into that emotional state of positive energy, love and happiness when the goin’ gets tough?
For instance, how cool would it be if we had a device which we could just plug in to get rid of of any negative emotions and get into the positive mode, so that we start emanating good vibrations and, as a consequence, start creating positive events in our 3D world as well.
A device. Fast solution. Many reach for narcotics to get closer to that emotional state, but narcotics are not doing it. It’s obvious. They are not working.
So, the device which will initiate positive vibrations from our body/mind/soul/consciousness/subconsciousness and put us in a mood of bliss.
Now, I am not talking about the device which will take energy from somewhere else and put it into us. We have the “ingredients for happiness” within ourselves already. I believe that it’s, probably, layers of energetic “dirt” what prevents this original, positive energy from coming out of us in difficult times.
So, as I said, the “ingredients” are already here, within us. It’s only a matter of putting them to work. This is what this device should do. It should pick up what’s already sitting there and put it to work.
OK. So, the idea for the device is here. I know what should it do and someone should jump in and actually make it :)
In the meantime, I will do what I do, here is another print ready card which you can use for multiple purposes, or you could just download it and explore the layers to see how it’s done.

I used today’s free graphic to frame a photo of Mr. Alphons. (image above)
Today, I prepared a little something for scrapbookers. A layered Photoshop (PSD) file which is a digital scrapbooking “Quick Page”. It is a Photo mask at the same time. It is all that and more :)
So, if there is any human being still doing something else apart from writing posts and comments on Facebook, I count on you. I hope you will be reading this, maybe liking this download and maybe you will use it to create a nice graphic using some of your photos with it.
Regarding Facebook. I admit. I spend too much time on Facebook. I sit there every day for hours and I am not sure if I like that. So, I decided to proclaim one day of the week a No-Facebook day! I mean Facebook is nice, but we need to be careful before becoming slaves to the habit (unless it is a habit of creating stuff :))

Free Vector Art (Adobe Illustrator file)
And now, ladies and gentleman, something completely different. I guess I’ve given away enough of free layered PSD files in last few days and now it’s time for something new. Today, I am giving away vector art.
Now, you probably know why vector art is so cool. Of course. You can re-size it all you want and there will be no quality loss. But, that’s not all. If you are even remotely familiar with Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW or any other vector editing software, you will be able to, with few clicks of the mouse, turn it into something new and completely different, so originality is guaranteed.
Feel free to use this vector emblem in all your graphic design projects. But also, scrapbooks, tshirt design, commercials … whatever you could think of.
Today’s Free vector art download consists of the following vector file formats:
* CDR (CorelDRAW 8.0 and newer versions)
* AI (Adobe Illustrator 8.0 and newer versions)
* EPS
* SVG (scalable vector graphics files can be read and modified by a large range of tools)
* and PNG for all of you who do not use vector applications
All vector formats can be colored as you please, re-sized or changed in any other way – commercial use allowed. But, I will be more than happy if you drop a backlink to my blog :D
Download Free Vector Art – AI, EPS, CDR, SVG (and PNG) zipped
(zipped, 1.7Mb, PNG file is 8×8 inches @300dpi – print ready)
To create this Vector Art download I used:
Damask Vector Set (22)
Set is delivered in following formats:
1. .ai (all CS versions from 8.0)
2. .eps format
3. .cdr (Corel 8.0 up to newer versions)
4. .png (so you can easily use them in any photo editing software)
5. .svg (SVG, or scalable vector graphics files can be read and modified by a large range of tools)
Commercial license included!
I hope you will enjoy today’s free download!
Love you all,
Silvia

I know what you are thinking. “Why, on earth would I want to send a Christmas card in the middle of November?”
Of course, you would not. We still have a month and a half before Christmas.
But. Just like me, you will want to start thinking about preparing your Christmas design projects. Soon, just about anything you create will be decorated with Christmas decorations, isn’t it?
So, we better be ready and equipped with the right tools before the rush begins :)
Ladies and gentleman, I present you
Red and White Christmas Card, free PSD file
It is a layered PSD file so you can play with it, rotate design elements and make the card portrait or landscape, as you wish.
