Finally! My last September birthday card finished! This is for my DGD, who will have her tenth birthday in a couple of weeks.
This is done totally in Photoshop CS4. The background layer is a digi paper from the immensely talented Nancie Rouse Janitz that I downloaded from SnapClick, the dolls are Photoshop brushes by deboragr2, downloaded from Brusheezy, that I colored using the paint bucket tool. Lots of layers and drop shadows. I did have to manipulate the hands of the doll holding the sentiment sign. The sentiment is from Desert Diva. So fun to do, and I think my DGD will love it!
As always, thanks for looking!

This is so perfect for a 10 year old and your photoshop skills put mine to shame! LOVE this idea and the added shadows. It makes it look like the dolls are popped up. Until I read your description, I was sure of it! Awesome card!

This is such a wonderful card, and aside from knowing that Photoshop is a computer program, I have no idea how you made something so cute using the computer. I am so jealous of your technical ability. What a perfect card for a little girl.
