This is one of my cards for the May Christmas card challenge. Our theme this month is Santa, with a local twist. You might definitely see Cowboy Santa in Texas!
The rope-framed Santa image is from a card I received years ago. I scanned it, pulled the image into Photoshop and erased the background. His bandana was turquoise; I changed it to green and modified a digital scrapbook page to serve as the background. I added the sentiment, printed the image and trimmed it to size. It was matted on green cs before it was attached to the card front.
So far, there is only one of these, but it will be easy to mass produce, if I decide I want more than one.
As always, thanks for looking!

I am so jealous of your technical ability, JodyLynn. The way you improved this image is incredible. I can't even understand half of tge steps, especially how you can erase backgrounds and change colors of things that are printed. I have never even scanned something into the computer. All I can do is take a digi image and make it bigger or smaller...I usually can't even get it in tge right place on the page. This is so dang cute.

Your Photoshop work is mind-boggling! Time to take out those classes again! This is fabulous! Love that character and the wonderful background you created for him.

What an awesome Photoshop makeover, Jody!! It makes my brain swim when y'all start talking technical stuff like this!! Love this image though and can only imagine how spectacular it looks in real life!! This would be an excellent Card to mass produce and send out to all your Texan friends - they'd love it!!
