As the festive period draws near, I like to treat myself to a bit of artistic playtime with some of my favorite apps for creating special effects. I can then send my friends and family some unique handmade festive cards originating from photos I’ve taken with my iPhone.
In this guide, I want to share my top three apps for adding festive effects to my artwork - Percolator, MetaBrush, and iColorama. All three of these apps offer endless possibilities for creativity. Percolator’s gorgeous multi-color, spangly circles are especially suitable for a festive theme. The second app, MetaBrush, provides some expressive brush and painterly options, and I’ll focus on the gorgeous Dilate effect. Finally, iColorama is an app Sweetie Shop with all its dazzling effects, but I’ll focus on just a few of my favorites for this festive theme.
