greeting card progress

last blog i'm talking about what concept of my greeting card so now.. i show my progress of my greeting card

OUTSIDE OF THE CARD

1. Create new Photoshop document size A4.
2. Bring the ruler marker to the middle of the document to indicate the middle of the card.

3. Pick a brush and start drawing clouds in a blue-green colour

4. Using a brush with a tree texture, paint on the trees in dark green

5. For the foliage, select a thin long brush and start drawing the shape.

6. Do the same with the green bush.

7. Select the Elliptical Marquee Tool and create the small circles. Fill it with red.

Draw the stalks freehand using the Brush tool. Make it slightly transparent

8. Next, use the Polygonal Lasso Tool to create a flower shape.

Then fill the shape with colour. Duplicate the flower and arrange them variably.

9. Draw the bird with Brush Tool. Create a selection in the shape of a wing and copy but delete the selection. Paste the copied item and adjust the transparency by erasing it bit by bit. Merge the two layers and duplicate the bird. Position them and adjust colour to give contrast.

10. Draw the flying bird with the Brush Tool.

11. Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to create a frame. Then inverse the selection and fill it with white to create a white border around image to neaten it up.

12. Using the Brush Tool, draw an outline of a lotus flower in grey. This is the logo of the card.

13. Lastly use the Horizontal Type Tool to type the ‘Greeting Cards’ word.

INSIDE OF THE CARD

1. Having the file of the outside of the card open, delete all layers except the bird and berries layer. Save As the file into another file.

2. Crop only one of the bird; the foreground one.

3. Resize the berries, duplicate and merge them. Then set the transparency to 59%.

4. Select the Horizontal Type Tool and type message for inside of card.
