Christmas is coming and we just can’t have enough of these little helpers which we need to make creative Christmas graphics. In this post, my dear GBG-ers,and visitors, I present you a brand new

Photoshop brushes set

Christmas Photo Masks

As you probably guessed, the image above (yes, that’s Mirta:)) was made with this set. So, if you’re interested in making similar effects – keep on reading.

Christmas Photo Masks set contains 16 brushes:

- 4 brushes in two sizes (total of 8 brushes) and
- 4 inverted (black-white inversion) in two sizes (total of 8 brushes).

So there are 16 free Photoshop brushes in this set.

Also, down below you will find the download link to 4 PNG files in 3600×3600 pixels size at 300dpi. Perfect for printing in any format!

If you don’t know how to use them,  follow this short Photoshop video:

But, before just heading over to download links bear with me just a second more:

I used Christmas Photo Masks Photoshop Brushes to make a cover for our Graphics-Illustrations.Com Christmas Album.

“What album? How will be making this album?” I hear you say.
“Well – you!”

Because, I thought, this is the perfect time , to make a little
