Grass Text Effect for Photoshop

With the Grass Text Effect for Photoshop, you can easily make any text look like real grass with a single click of the mouse. The action comes with 3 different types of grass and an extra action to add a bit of dirt for decoration purposes. Also, each grass type comes in a normal and small size to be used according to your text size. 

Simply create a new file in Photoshop, type your text and run the action. In less than a minute you will have it transformed to a real looking grass text. Then you can turn off the background layer to have your new grass text in a transparent background and place it over any background you like.

Besides text, you can also use the action to make any type of vector or raster shape look like real grass. Simply place your vector or raster shape in a new layer above the background, and run the action.

Once any of the grass actions finish, you can add dirt to it running the extra action, and place it anywhere on your document to add a bit more of detail to it.
