Doodle Knobs png files and Paint Shop Pro Preset Shapes

Doodle Knobs Preview Click to enlarge Click on image above to enlarge.


I love the ability to create vector images in Paint Shop Pro and particularly to create and save multlayered preset shapes which I can add to my library and quickly use at any time :)

By using the "retain style" option, I can even reuse the original materials in my saved file :)

Alternatively, a new material, whether gradient, solid colour or pattern with or without texture can be applied to each of the layers and edited later too as you wish.

The outline or Style line can also be altered to suit.


Example of use with glassy effects applied to 2 of the layers

There are 20 shapes in this bundle all with more than one layer. Instructions for adding to your shapes library are in the TOU pdf file in the download zip. Also some tips for using the shapes.
For those who are using other graphics programs, I have also included .png transparent images at 300dpi which could be used to create brushes ..these are all at least 1000 pixels in one dimension.

Leafy Art Nouveau Style Frames

Click Preview to enlarge Click image above to enlarge.

I've created 2 large Art Nouveau style frames with a leafy motif and a softly textured paper for the first of my shares for August.

All are at 300dpi . Both the frames are .png files and the paper, a .jpg.

One frame has a metallic finish, the other the appearance of a stencil.

Personal use.

I have recoloured the stencil version of the frame in my card example below. Card will be available in full size soon in our CARD GALLERY.
