PSP8 week 1 button

My "first" button above.
Several "doodles" below trying a few different brush tips and settings.
All my doodles were resized. A couple of them cropped first then sized down 50%.

Here are my buttons... (plus the one at the top of the page)
The blue one to the right is saved as a jpg, because it made it smaller. It has a gradient background. A custom brush for the white flowers.

Fairy painting
To make this "painting", I used the preset "Aurora". Foreground flesh color, grey background. Then I found a custom brush that I had downloaded earlier, "Dizfairies002". The default large size and then I made the brush smaller for 3 more little ones. For the "frame" I used the custom brush, "Bead string", size 20, step 25, density 100 and opacity 66
