Creating and Using Custom Brushes in Photoshop Elements

Finally, let's use our brush to create a border. Open a new blank file. You can use the same setting we used before. Before painting, set the foreground and background colors to a light brown and a dark brown. Select the brush named "Paw brush 30px going right" and quickly paint a line across the top of your document.

Tip: If you have trouble clicking and dragging to paint, remember the undo command. I needed several re-dos to get good results.

Change brushes to your other variations and paint additional lines to do each edge of your document.
