I started with a picture of my daughter holding her hand out. I do own Photoshop elements but I wanted to add some extra Valentine fun to the card so I headed over to Picnik. I used the CinemaScope and Bokeh Hearts effects. If you have never used Picnik you have to try it! It is free (but you can upgrade to get extra features) and there are so many fun things you can do to your photos. I spent quite awhile playing around with my daughters picture and checking out all the features! I love that I was able to add text to the picture as well. Once I had her picture perfect
I saved it to my computer and then printed it out on 4x6 photo paper. Then I took my exacto knife and made a slit above and below her hand, slide in the sucker and clapped my hands with glee because our Valentine Card was done. Now just multiply the last part by 17 and with Hairspray playing in the background and that was how I spent my Friday night!
My daughter thinks they are wonderful and can't wait to hand them out on Friday.
