DIY Spring scene jars....with digital brushes to add flair!



Ok...as promised here are a few little shots of the cute Spring scene jars I've been making to force Spring around here.... The tutorial on how to make these can be found HERE. Just add Spring accessories instead of your snowy scene!

Supplies to Do-it-Yourself:
mason jar
spray paint:Robin's Egg Blue
easter grass
flowers
mushroom
feather butterfly
ribbon
tulle
pearl strands
printed out House of 3 Brush banners
cupcake stand
grey paper striped straws

Each of these blog photos have been 'dolled' up with the Magical Brushes in the kit we talked about last night on the show & that is now up on House of 3...

so, I'll break it down & tell you what brushes I used on each of these blog images:

TOP IMAGE brush supplies:
green frame: parisian frame bruh sized to go over the photo
white edges underneath: parisian frame edges. just stamped around to give depth.


MIDDLE IMAGE brush supplies:
Photo Mat brush is used under the photo & then a Layer Mask is applied. STOP. don't get freaked...this is a bit more advanced, but I wanted to give you these powerful tools in the Magical Brush kit so that WHEN you are ready, you've got them. :) More on those later! *wink*
Grey flowers are part of the Quote art "Lift yourself up" brush...just stamped on edge.
'Lift Yourself up" is part of the quote brush & I just erased the other part for this.
Pink/grey banner is part of the Silhouette Tricks 2 brush kit.
White Sunburst/Magical Bonus brush!


& this image above:
frame: House of 3 Birthday Mini Frames
green swirl: Sassy Swirl brush
pink JOY: Word art brush
background text: Bonus Brush text heart...just stamped large enough to cover bg.


really.
these brushes can make *anything* magical.


(yes, you can do the *magical dance* now!)

  7. LOVE these cute jars.
    I have a Question....
    After you put your brushes into your program, in this case PhotoShop Elements. Can you create individual folders for brushes. ie: "flowers", "borders", "lace".
    I am getting so many brushes I need to get organized with them.
    Thank you Debby :) <3
