New picture tubes – Fringes 2

If you have the first set of fringe picture tubes, they are even and regular. But sometimes, you need something rougher and less regular. That is why this particular set of fringes.

Draw those fringes along any edge, whether it is freehand, or along a curved path. Remember however, that the fringe will always hand downward!

New picture tubes – Gimp Trims 3

by

The first Gimp trims were released 13 years ago! But these are slightly different.

You can create delicate ribbons in any length and any shape you want. Use your cursor to draw your ribbons freely, or you can use the VectorTube script to place them along a precise path. Since these ribbons are a little wide, make sure you use a large enough shape and avoid tiny corners and curves.

For samplers, I created two frames for you. Each one is made from running the VectorTube script twice on a simple shape. One trim is full size while the inside trim is half-size for an interesting effect.

New picture tubes – Wood Fence 2

by

This is the second set of wood fence picture tubes. It includes 6 sets of tubes that will allow you to draw fences however long you want. You can start with a 4000-pixel image if you want a fence that will go from end to end on your standard page, but you can also use a standard page and drag your cursor only for a little bit to get a shorter fence.

These picture tubes will place the individual images randomly which means that every fence will be slightly different.

New Picture tubes – Diamond Chains

by

Many years ago, some gold and silver chain picture tubes were added to the store and they were a hit as they were among the most popular new directional tubes. Over the years, different types of chains were added and this time, we wanted to add some bling to anyone's project.

These new picture tubes are from diamond chains. Various designs include a variety of diamond-incrusted chain links.

New picture tubes – Tinsel A

by

In the store, we have some garlands that are bold and full, but this time, we offer you some more delicate variations on those garlands. You get 10 different colors with white ends. In addition, there is one gold and one silver set for more festive projects.

Use those picture tubes along a path using the VectorTube script, or draw freehand to create frames, texts, and doodles.

The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

For a sampler, I drew the text for this Happy Holidays sign using the gold tinsel tube. I also used the VectorTube script to outline the sign. Each section is on an individual layer so you can use the sign without the text, or the text without the sign. You can even replace the red background with something else.
