Personalized card

Making my card! It was fun I enjoyed it, cause I could find any picture I wanted and make it into a stamp. To do that I opened a photo, I’ll refer to my guitar, the blue one, I opened that photo and I didn’t want the white background just the guitar so I used the magic wand tool and selected the guitar. I then went to edit and hit define brush preset and named the brush Guitar. I went back to my other 6x4 photo that I made with a background of a photo of music notes and had my name on it, I went and opened my brushes and there was the brush I made. I stamped it on there. So what I had now was the music notes background and my name, and now my blue guitar. I did the same thing with all my other stamps. My guitar with wings, to make that that way I found a picture of piano keys and a rose on Google, I opened that file and selected the photo and dragged it over to my card. I then placed it atop the guitar then went to layers on the bar thing and hit create clipping mask or an easier way to do that is alt + ctrl + G. I moved the picture around a bit till it fit behind my guitar good. I also messed with the vibrance and turned that up cause it makes a deeper red on the hearts with wings. With each new thing I did I made a new layer that way I could change things without changing the whole card. I like my card, it represents me and my love of music, and my love of bright colors.

Flyer

Creating my flyer wasn’t as easy as I hoped but in the end I think it turned out alright. I have a lot of photos of horses, I know and have worked with, saved in my pictures. So I started with opening a page and making the background black. Though I had to later change it because Ms.Minkel I guess doesn’t like black J pssh I do! I then opened another page and loaded my first picture of Arabella the gray Arabian, I extracted her by selecting her and than dragged her to the plain black page, I transformed her size so she fit right just like I learned in the tutorials. I then closed the page with the horse and opened another one with Covert Operations the black and white quarter horse. Again I selected and extracted him and dragged him up and placed him in the photo, repeating the same process. Again and again I did this with BuckShot, Wounded Solder and my dog Shiloh. Over and over I made them fit perfectly in my flyer. I then went to http://www.brushezzy.com/ and downloaded some brushes of lightning, trees, and random swirls which a plopped around my flyer. It gave it some color which I liked.  I then put in some text and what not later on by using the text option. I rather enjoy it I think it turned out really good.
