Thumbs up

Hi Everyone, a card due to the photography I shouldn't really show you, but here goes, at least you will have an idea of how it sort of looked!

I had forgotten to make a Congratulations card for hubby's Nephew, who did very well in his exams and starts a 5 year University course after which he gets a Masters, so a sort of rushed card, designed and then printed from Photoshop, I had the idea in mind and was going to hand paint it, but with time of the essence, I did it digitally. I was pleased and also pleased when it was print and cut with a few layers on the digital cutting machine.

I put it all together and took a quick photo, before putting it into an envelope and delivering it. However I should have checked the photo before I gave it to him, as it has lost a lot of the colour. the second photo are the original colours, I expect I had the lights to bright in the light box. grrr. No amount of alteration in Photoshop could get it correct, must learn more methinks! You get the  gist I hope. I also wish you could see the layers and his "out front fist". Oh! well enough complaining I could have just forgotten it, but I was so pleased with the end result I had to add it. 

image - Thumbs up KennyK, sadly no longer available.
the labels are from various scrapbook kits. 
the pills are a free image on the web.



These are the colours I did and it should be.

A fabulous card Faith, a fun image and another super sentiment - I am rarely pleased with my photography efforts, the camera sometimes seems to have a mind of its own!

What a difference. I so miss the Kenny K images. Mine were accidentally deleted. There is one that I wish I had back as it was a furry kitty cat. I had one image that I had already printed. I colored it up and wanted to color another only to find that the whole Kenny K file folder was gone. [Bunny]

Well Faith, I'm so glad you shared this card anyway cause it is fabulous! I love how it looks like the fella is popping right out of the circle. So fun and how fitting for your nephew. He is a rising star for sure. Lighting and camera's is a tricky thing and most of us struggle getting those true colors to shine. I will say though, the "off" colored card looks great as does the proper colored card, so it is a win win with either look! Yes, the proper colored one is deeper and richer, but still, the card is stinking cute no matter how the colors come across! Hugs, Brenda

I think this is fantastic, Faith! I had almost forgotten about Kenny K images but recognized that this was one of them immediately. Well done. My youngest granddaughter is working toward a pharmacy degree but is getting the college basics out of the way at the local college before transferring to a university out of state.
