One of my five Christmas cards that meet the June theme of trees, foliage, wreaths...
The photo I used for this card was taken by my son during a freaky storm last winter. We thought it would be a great test of the capabilities of the new printer he gave me for my birthday ( which is an awesome piece of equipment!).
I opened the image in Photoshop, resized it and added the sentiment before printing it out an a metallic glossy photo paper. The metallic doesn't photograph at all, but it is subtly gorgeous IRL! It was trimmed to size and matted in black cs before I attached to the base. So easy, and easily duplicated if I choose.
As always, thanks for looking!

Your computer talent just leaves me speechless. Now I have to add tgat it looks like your son is an amazing photographer. I could have your super duper printer and your son's camera, and anything I did would still only be suitable for lining the bird cage. Gorgeous card.
