Brushes can bring so much fun to your layouts! They are easy to use and can give more depth and interest to your average layout! I love using them combined with paints to make a plain paper a lot more fun! Brushes are the equivalent of stamps but in the digital format! So if you were a paper scrapper before coming to digital, these are like using stamps with your little ink pads but so much easier! And definitely much cleaner!

To get started and to practice, I have a free set of scribble brushes below! Get them from the Resource Library and see what you can create!

I started with a plain paper. Then I added the brushes on different levels and moved as needed!

You can watch the video below to see how I loaded the brushes and started using them. This is done in Photoshop Elements 11 but will work similarly in PS or other elements.

Once I had my brushes stamped on there, I added the paints and elements and here is my final layout! As you can see, they will work with any kit as a great accent!

Now it’s your turn to see what you can create! Find a kit to use and get the brushes from the Resource Library and try it out! If you are new to my site, fill out the simple form below and follow the instructions to access the library:
