Personalized Card!

First I made a new document. Then, I chose one of my favorite colors for the background and I chose purple because it's my favorite color. Purple is my favorite because it's not too girly or too boyish and I think I'm in the middle...more girly but still I just feel for purple haha. :). Any purple is perfect.  I Chose a purple and using the paint busket tool to get the whole page the color I picked. Then to get the stripes I used the rectange marquee tool and the paint bucket tool. Then I used the brush of the rose because that's my favorite flower :) and to do that I just clicked on the brush tool and towards the top of the page are many brushes. Same with the music notes I clicked on the brush tool and went to the top of the page for many options of brushes. I used a stroke for the picture border and I used stroke instead of border and fill because the picture wouldn't let me and I'm not sure why. With the text I used the same font. I changed the colors and used stroke just for the bestfriend quote. I just copy and pasted the volleyball and basketball. To get the zebra picture behind my initials I just used the clipping mask found under layer and it hides inside the text. I also created a new brush. I took praying hands off the intenet by cop and pasting the hands onto a new document and went under edit and clicked on define brush preset. THAT'S IT!!

Post Card





First I edited the picture of the Days sign. I cleaned up the sign using the clone stamp tool because those circles on the wood made it look ugly. Also there was a crack in the sign and I used the patch tool to fix it. I took out the shed behind the park using the selection tool and the clone stamp tool because it was distracting. I took out the tree branches using both the clone stamp tool and the patch tool. On the post card the opacity is set on 76%. I copied the picture and changed the blending mode to overlay.

Secondly, I edited the picture of my mom and me. I used the quick selection tool and changed the background to black and white using image and adjustments. I changed the vibrancy because we looked really white and that setting allows us to have color. The opacity is set on 92%. I copied the picture and changed the blending mode to overlay.

The family picture wasn’t a very good picture. It was out of focus and the light was a big distraction and it really ruined the photo. So, I cropped out the family and put it on the post card. I cropped us out using the polygon lasso tool. I changed the whole screen and made two screens show and slid one picture into the other.

To get the post card I made a new document and made a 4x6 layout. I used the text tool to create my text and the character to change fonts and font sizes.  

I made borders aroung the post card and the pictures. To make a border I used the selection tool, went to select, modify and border. The border guide wants the number of pixels we want selected and it won't do anything if you don't fill it. I went to edit, fill, then this guide wants the opacity and the higher you go, the more the color is visible. and there are my borders!

I created a new brush of clip art. To do that, I copied it from the internet and pasted it on a new document and listed it as bow. I changed the size using master odometer.  And I changed the opacity using the opacity setting. ALL DONE!!!
