Friday Freebie – May 7

Torn Edge Brushes

This week’s Friday Freebie is another set of Photoshop brushes. You can use these brushes several ways. One way is with the eraser tool and literally “erase away” the edges of your digital paper to create a TORN EDGE look. Change the size of the brush if it is too large for your resolution or paper size. You can FLIP the “X” or “Y” component of the brush if the brush isn’t long enough. That way, the ends will meet perfectly.

Digital Collage Letters

This week’s photo is another PNG file to use in your digital scrapbooking or other digital collage work. Simply download the file and open in Photoshop. Using the LASSO tool or either of the MARQUEE tools, select the letter or character you want to use in your art and copy/paste your selection into your new file. The image is a PNG file with a transparent background so using it in your own art is as simple as can be. No muss-no fuss.
