Here`s an example of the studs that I made in a spiral shape using brush sizes 8-15.
 |
For this example, I used brush size 15 then applied Mura`s Copies (spiral, number=30).
 |
I`ve decorated my sig tag with the studs using size 11.
The font that I`ve used for my text is Planet X, size 48.
 |
For this tag, I loaded the +Square10 brush (instead of the round brush) and made my impression. Then I rotated the impression to the right 45 degrees before applying the bevel and polished stone filters. The font I used is Kingthings Chimera.
I'd love to see your results!
