New floral stickers are available!
New collection of vinyl die-cut stickers with whimsical flowers in vases
New collection of vinyl die-cut stickers has launched!
I’m very excited to announce that this new collection of floral vinyl die-cut stickers is now available on my website.
Reasons to love these new stickers
- Colorful watercolor illustrations of whimsical flowers are printed on thick, premium white vinyl (PVC).
- According to the manufacturer, they are weatherproof, fade-resistant, and dishwasher-safe.
- Stickers are designed and made in the USA in small quantities.
Here is a story of this floral collection
These watercolor illustrations were initially inspired by my grandmother’s collection of vintage vases with dried flowers in them. All vases are from different times and made of various materials, like crystal, copper, ceramics, stainless steel with mosaic inlay, or porcelain. As fresh flowers don’t last, I tried to imagine what kind of whimsical flowers (or even mushrooms) would fit the vases, and portrayed them in my paintings.
You can get these stickers in my Art Store.
Editing Product Photography Like a Pro with Adobe Express

In the era of digital marketing, product photography stands as a cornerstone for businesses aiming to capture the attention of their target audience. High-quality images can significantly enhance the appeal of a product, leading to increased engagement and sales. However, capturing the perfect product photograph is only half the battle; the other half lies in skillful editing. This is where Adobe Express, a versatile and user-friendly editing tool, comes into play. This article provided by Adobe Express and hosted by Regina Kareev delves into how Adobe Express can transform your product photography from good to extraordinary.
Unleashing Creativity with User-Friendly Features
Adobe Express, formerly known as Adobe Spark, is a web and mobile-based graphic design app that caters to both professionals and beginners. Its intuitive interface makes it accessible for those who might not have extensive experience in graphic design or photo editing. With a plethora of easy-to-use features, Adobe Express enables users to refine their product photos to perfection.
Enhanced Color Correction and Adjustments
One of the fundamental aspects of product photography editing is color correction. Adobe Express offers a wide range of tools that allow users to adjust exposure, contrast, saturation, and temperature. These adjustments can make a significant difference in how a product is perceived. For instance, increasing the saturation can make colors pop, essential for products where color plays a key role in the buyer's decision-making process.
Cropping and Composition
A well-composed image can direct the viewer's attention to the product. Adobe Express provides cropping tools that enable users to follow the rule of thirds or custom ratios, ensuring that the product is the focal point of the photo. This tool is particularly useful for creating images for various platforms, as different social media channels often require different image dimensions.

Background Removal and Replacement
For e-commerce and online catalogs, having a clean, consistent background is crucial. Adobe Express's background removal tool is a game-changer, allowing users to remove cluttered or undesirable backgrounds with ease. Additionally, the background replacement feature can be used to insert a more appealing or brand-aligned backdrop.
Adding Text and Graphic Elements
Sometimes, product photos need additional context or branding. Adobe Express offers a wide array of text styles and graphic elements to choose from. Whether it's adding a simple price tag, a descriptive caption, or a full-fledged promotional banner, these features can be used to convey necessary information stylishly and effectively.

Adding Your Brand Logo
With Adobe Express, embedding your logo into product photos is straightforward. The app allows you to upload your logo and place it strategically on your images. This not only helps in brand reinforcement but also protects your images from unauthorized use. You can adjust the size, opacity, and position of the logo to ensure it complements the product without overshadowing it. You can even create a new logo for a quick rebrand.
Templates and Presets
Adobe Express comes with a variety of professionally designed templates and presets that can serve as a starting point for editing. These templates are particularly beneficial for users who are new to photo editing or those looking to streamline their workflow.
Empowering Businesses with Advanced Editing Capabilities
Adobe Express doesn't just stop at basic editing. It offers advanced features that can give your product photos a competitive edge:
● Layering and Blending Modes: These features allow for more creative compositions, enabling users to overlay images or use blending modes for unique effects.
● Animation: Add animations to your product images to create eye-catching social media posts or advertisements.
● Selective Editing: This feature lets users make adjustments to specific areas of an image, perfect for highlighting certain aspects of a product.
A Tool for Every Artist or Designer
In conclusion, Adobe Express stands as an invaluable tool for anyone involved in product photography. Its range of features, from basic adjustments to advanced editing capabilities, caters to the needs of both amateurs and professionals. By harnessing the power of Adobe Express, businesses can elevate their product imagery, engage their audience more effectively, and ultimately drive sales. Whether you're a small business owner, a freelance designer, or an artist, Adobe Express is a tool that can help you bring your creative vision to life.
