Add a touch of gold to your Affinity projects with these realistic Gold Chains brushes. The collection includes 10 different chain designs, from delicate links to heavier and more decorative styles.
Choose the Raster Brushes to draw your chains freehand, or use the Path Brushes to make the chains follow vector lines, curves, and shapes. Each chain comes with both an Open and a Closed Path Brush, making it easy to decorate anything from simple curves to complete frames and outlines.

For a sample, I created a frame with two intertwined gold chains. The frame includes shadows to give that realistic 3D effect. The result is in PNG format so you can use it with any program.

Love the look of stitched embellishments? This week, I've added Basic Stitches for Affinity 3+ in three options to suit the way you work. Choose Raster Brushes for freehand stitching, Path Brushes to add perfectly spaced stitches along vector shapes and curves, or save with the Bundle, which includes both.
As a free bonus, you can also download a complete set of stitched digits (0–9). Each number is provided in both Affinity and PaintShop Pro formats, with the stitching on a separate layer so you can customize the colors to match any project.
If you enjoyed the Sequin Trims for PaintShop Pro, they are now available for Affinity too!
Using these trims, I created three frames on a closed path. They were exported as PNG files so you can use them in just about any program to showcase photos, or even some journaling or other text.
The Edge Punches A brush set for Affinity lets you create decorative cut-out borders using the Eraser tool. Each brush removes pixels instead of painting them, producing clean punched edges similar to traditional craft punches. The set includes ten edge punches with matching corner punches so you can build seamless borders around papers, photos, or mats.
For a sample, I created a simple mat based on an 8x10 format in greyscale. You can replace this template with any paper you want or colorize it to match your project.
