More Mother’s Day Digi Fun!

Here is another one of Mendy’s creative Mother’s Day Digital Art pieces! I think this one would be so cute printed on a coffee mug or stationary or something fun Mom can keep! 

Materials: 

• Vintage Photo
• Lil’ Fan Fair Paper by Christina Renee
• Stitched Journaling Strips by Katie Pertiet
• Misprinted Type Brushes
• Rhonna Farrer Brushes
• LB Computer Typewriter Font
• White Cardstock or Photo Paper
• Tools: Adobe Photoshop, Printer 

Instructions:

• Open a new file in photoshop at desired size. Make sure the new file background in transparent.
• Locate a favorite  vintage photo. 
• Create a layer of cream at 40% opacity. Use the Eraser Tool with grungy brushes to “wipe” the cream layer. 
• Add a digital background paper to the new blank file. 
• Drag the vintage photo onto the background paper.
• Add text directly onto the art piece. 
• Flatten all layers of the card.
• Add grungy brush strokes around the artwork. Add the crown from a brush kit for embellishment. 
• Save the project and print onto cardstock or use as an online greeting!

Thanks Mendy! I love the vintage look of this project. Any Mother would feel like a queen to receive such a card!

Creatively Yours,
