It's time for the Monthly challenge at
the Theme is
Make a Digital Card
I started by choosing a sketch, always the easiest way to start for me. I copied the shapes and put them into a rectangle, then pasted and clipped digi paper over the shapes. I added the Smiley Sun by Imagine That! by Kris from the Sunny Days kit, giving it a largish shadow to illustrate a 3D effect, lower shadows on the sentiment, bunting and buttons. The rays were "pillow" embossed to separate the rays. I did this in PS, but would imagine that you could do this card in any digital program even Word?
You also know that this is how I start my cards usually, but I came across this blog the other day, which gave me another way to use my digi cards, I thought it was a great idea, that is, to add your digi card to any Facebook birthdays of friends and families. I've done this a few times for my Niece and her family who live in China, where post is difficult, not even thinking of sharing the idea duh! - sorry! except I made the card and added it, when I could have easily just done the digi card. Something I will do next time.
Go on have a go and enter the challenge, you can print it out afterwards :) Use your CD's or Word or other photo editing program. You don't even need to print it out to enter.

DeleteLove love love..so am I to understand you took the image into PS to do the shadowing? Awesome...I don't use PS enough to do this...I need a repeat refresher course. Such a happy card!
ReplyDeleteYes Cely, the images are taken into a new page in PS, which I did at 5 x 7 inches, then layered all the images and added all the styles, including shadows. Easy to do, just sounds difficult LOL.
DeleteYou've literally got sunshine in this card, it is just so bright and cheerful, I love it.
