Animal Wednesday: Virtual Pets




(And shameless self-promotion!)


I've been trying to teach myself a few things with my Print Shop Pro card program so yesterday I made these valentine notecards for my Etsy Shop.


I took colored copyright free photos and made them black and white, dropped in a few scrolls and hearts and flowers, and then I colored the kitty's eyes with a blue colored pencil.


So...here's a Sharpei Bouquet and a Smitten Kitten. Happy Animal Wednesday!

  6. you are so clever. I'd like to give photo shop a try but think I might need a desktop rather than laptop to add in a new program. You are good at this.

  8. "shameless self-promotion!"

    Well, it's just one man's opinion, of course, but i think self-promotion works better when it is shameless, so you might wanna give yourself some credit here for your efficiency.

    The one where I said dogs and cats love your embellishments? And ravens and gorillas too.

    And I love them too.

    Happy valentines day sweetheart!
