How to make a great looking postcard

How to make a great looking postcard

Gang!
In case you did not notice, today is 9th of September 2009, or 09.09.09.
Now, how cool is that?

Some believe that 9 is the number of eternity. So, many decided to get married today for this symbolic reason.

Which brings me to Beatles. How? Well, not just because their fame is eternal, but also because they made a song called Revolution 9.

Did they want to tell us something with that number nine? Or with the word revolution? I don’t know. But I know that I made a pretty good shot of sunset yesterday and that I wanted to share it with you.

But not just the photo. I wanted to show you how to use Swirls Floral (42) Photoshop Brushes set and Good Old Snail Mail (28) Photoshop Brushes set to decorate a photo and make a postcard.

So, in this little graphic I decorated this sunset shot I took yesterday with Swirls Floral (42) Photoshop Brushes set and I made a postcard out of it using Good Old Snail Mail (28) Photoshop Brushes set.

I hope you like it and maybe it will give you some inspiration and ideas on how to use vectors and Photoshop brushes in your graphic design and scrap booking projects.

If you are interested to see more vectors and Photoshop brushes, there is a vast selection in my shop ->

And if you just can’t setlle for compromise then 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET is something you must see. (And not just because it’s your chance to get all of my brushes for 50% off the price).

Anyways, no matter what you use, brushes or vectors or both – never forget: have fun creating!

Love,
Silvia

Postcards, are they history?

Postcards, are they history?

Holiday greetings season is behind us. Many of you probably still remember the times when our mailboxes (I mean the real, metal or wooden ones) used to be filled in with postcards. In my opinion, no eCard can match a good old fashioned postcard. It’s just that good old piece of paper and handwriting that adds a specialĀ  human touch that no electronic mail can have.

So, thanks to Gordeee, impressive but mysterious artist, we can now show you some really really cool postcards. His current theme is Paris :). Some of the graphical elements he used are Grunge Floral Shapes Photoshop Brushes (free download after joining GBG)

These are really beautiful! Great work Gordeee and thank you for sharing it with us!

And now, since we’re talking about cards, I just couldn’t help mentioning one New Year postcard (old fashioned one) we got from my cousin Davor Vrankic and his wife Silva (yes it’s similar to my name but it’s not the same :)). This one was drawn by Davor himself! (find out more about Davor Vrankic who is a great painter – artist ->) … also, I already wrote about him and his success in the world of art here ->)

So, here’s the unique Holiday postcard from my cousin:

Postcards, are they history?

I bet you like it! He’s good isn’t he :)

I just can’t think of a better way to show a sign of appreciation other than do something with your own hands. I know, Davor is a real talent, but that is not the point here. The point is to take some time and dedicate it to someone by creating something with your own hands. That is the point.

Thank you Gordee and thank you Davor for your great works!

Yours,

Silvia

P.S.

Just before the end of the year I dispatched the last 2008 Green Bulb Gang eZine.

It was a compilation I called:

The best of free Green Bulb Gang downloads (Photoshop brushes); 2008.

It contained a link to one Green Bulb Gang web page that contained a number of links for best free Green Bulb Gang free Photoshop brushes of 2008.

These were only available to Green Bulb Gang members.

But, then on it turned out that the web page with download links did not work when accessed with Safari browser from Mac platform. I’ve got no clue why. I am so sorry guys!

I already sent emails with workaround instructions to all of you who reported that. (The workaround was: Firefox.)

I would test it before dispatching but I could not because I still did not save enough to get that Mac.

So, if you want to help me out AND get yourself a Collection of 800+ Photoshop brushes with Commercial license included (and we all know WHAT THAT MEANS :) ), please feel free to visit the 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA pack page -> and check it out for yourself! (These are not free, but they’re worth every cent AND they come with a lifetime 1/2 price warranty!)

P.P.S.
If you are interested in the link to 2008 Best of Free Photoshop brushes Compilation page – it is not just for Green Bulb Gang members but also for all MEGA Package owners (although most of them are GBG members anyway :))
