quick photoshop art

I was in the mood to create a greeting card for a friend yesterday so for today’s post,
I thought I’d share a Photoshop art tutorial I found recently. A link to the tutorial is below.

Photoshop Watercolor by Steve Patterson

TIPS: 1. Experiment with the values of filters. The strength of filter effects is dependent on file size and the amount
of detail in an image so what works for one image might not work for another. 2. Once you’re finished all the steps,
play with the opacity of each layer. I also did a final color adjustment, a little cloning and added a border.

With so many sources for printing your card creations and costs dropping every year,
why would you want to print your own cards? The answer is that maybe you don’t!

If you want total control over the process, though, you’ll want to print your own.
For instance, most companies but their logo on your cards. It’s usually small, but
I don’t like it. The other issue is that you can’t find the size or type of paper you want.

For those who hoped I would post a tutorial for creating a card, click the photo 🙂
Enjoy and let me know if you have questions!

Click the photo below for a tutorial today in response to a question about clipping masks from my friend Chick. I rewrote the original making it even easier so I thought I’d share with everyone. The tutorial will also work in Photoshop Elements although Layer Styles are in a different location. If you have trouble, let me know. Enjoy 🙂
