Turn Custom Brushes into Coloring Pages!
Did you know that you can turn your digital scrapbooking custom brushes into your very own coloring pages for your kids? You are not alone… many people don’t know about this simple brush trick!
Creating games and crafts to keep your kids preoccupied, busy, and happy is always a constant challenges as a mother! It can be hard to think of new activities… in fact, it can seem like a full-time job!
But, Custom Brushes are definitely one of the easiest ways to create in quick coloring pages for kids. Coloring Pages made from custom brushes can save money and keep children entertained during Thanksgiving.
Custom brushes are easy to use, and once you get into digital scrapbooking, you will absolutely love them! If you get the right set of Custom Brushes then you can easily turn them into coloring pages and fun activities for children!
Here is the secret to a good brush to use for a coloring page - if you use a
brush that looks more like line art (instead of more solid-looking digital brush) then you can enlarge the size of the brush, stamp it on a digital page, and then print it out for a home-made coloring page! Or if your design has lots of areas already filled in. Select it those areas and delete them and then your design will be more open for a coloring page.
Using the same custom brush set (Easter Day Brush Set), I selected the Easter Cross and Easter Egg brush and “stamped” them on separate new documents in Photoshop Elements (or Photoshop).
I liked this brush set because it had designs that where open like the cross and for the Easter Egg design I was able to select area that were solid and delete them to make them more open to make the perfect coloring page! After I
“stamped” the brushes out on my pages, then I used my home printer to print it out.
Just like magic, now I have a great coloring page to give to the kids!
Don’t forget the crayons!
This makes great coloring pages for kids to do while I prepare the Thanksgiving dinner!
After they are all colored then you can glue them on a larger colored paper and turn them into a place mat for Easter dinner too!
Also, if you want “stamp” a few extra on place cards and have the children color those too! That will make dinner fun and memorable, and in addition keep the children engaged and busy too!![]()
