Computer Tricks for Cards--Lesson 5

This card took me a really long time to make.  It's complicated!  We learned a new brush technique using vintage cameras as brushes (used like a rubber stamp as traditional scrappers would do.)  Once a brush was selected and loaded into PSE, we learned to hold down the shift key and then move the brush across the card.  The shift key keep the brushes in a straight line.  We had a choice of several vintage cameras to use so each student's card looked different from the others.  After doing the brushes on the front, that portion of the card was adhered to a card base.  As I said it is complicated.  Holes were punched along the top edge and embroidery thread was used to tie a bow to hold all the layers together.  There is also an inner layer of lined paper to write a message or to use the one Jessica Sprague already imprinted on it.  Attached to the front of the card is ribbon and twill and an embellishment with Smile printed on it with more cameras. Embroidered cross-stitches are used to hold it in place.
The card was fun to make and a real learning experience!
