acrylic painting brushes?

[fawall]

I'm fairly new to digiscrapping - only a few months into it and I use psp. I purchased the acrylic painting brushes because I thought they looked neat...but now I'm not sure what to do with them! So far, I mostly use them as edges, either painted or erased.

Just wondering what other people do with them/what you had in mind when you created them?
thanks!

I use Michelle's brushes as edges too.. but I also use them to 'scratch up' or grunge my layouts and ATCs... here is an example of how I used them to grunge my designs...

Those are lovely examples Nancie Birthday Girl! ;-)

Also, Angela, it might be fun to use them to paint a layer or a stripe over a background. Put it on a separate layer and add a slight bevel and it can really look like slopped on paint! Hehe. Not applicable for every layout but it would be a great addition to a collage type page!

thanks for the ideas and the samples... they are just beautiful, for lack of a better word.

I have child-free time this weekend to play and try them out.

Oh I love the afffect these brushes give. Can someone point me in the direction of them, so I can pick them up too?

TIA!

They are in the store here under stamps and brushes and then do a search under designer's name for Michelle they are about the 3rd ones down on the list. ;)
