TURNING A STICKER INTO A UNIQUE BRUSH
Here is an example of creating a sticker to turn it into a brush. In this case I was looking for something that could be transformed into producing cloth thread effects, and thistle effects, and could also provide subtle texture and color variation when painting relatively smooth surfaces. Having already experimented, I felt the sticker drawing here might do the trick.
The drawing was made with the ink pen.
Then I imported it to the sticker creator to turn it into a sticker.
Then, using the sticker spray gun tool and its versatile spray gun variation module, I was able to make several "preset" brushes to accomplish the task.
The first image below shows different swatches of design and texture being made with various settings.
The second is the final swatch image that I can use as a future reference to remind me of what the new brush presets can do.
The third is a painting using various spray variations for the sticker, with focus on the thistle qualities. The whole painting is made with brushes made from this sticker. Again, I make little paintings like this for future reference.
With a little practice you can make brushes to accomplish just about anything. And you can get many happy surprises from your sticker brushes just playing with the infinitely variable spray variation module, the color picker, the brush sizer, and the spray variation rate. For example, it is changing the brush size (in part) that transoms the output of this sticker from providing rough, thistle-like textures to producing variable smooth surfaces with subtle color variations.

It's so excited to see how you made those stickers from it and at the same time my mind is visually working/playing too..ha..ha. The last one is very creative pattern and color.
