I worked on this card for half the day! It really turned out GORGEOUS! I've tried editing it in PicMonkey and Picasa. But I really can't get the photo to look as good as it does in person. I'll show you:
This is how it looks when I edit it in Pic Monkey.
And this is how it looks when I edit it in Picasa. What do you think?

ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I hate it when I can't get a photo to show well even with editing, but good for you giving both Picasa and PicMonkey a try. Whoever gets this will be thrilled...and I hope you win, too. :)

ReplyDeleteSuch a soft elegant card! I just adore it!! Perfect for a new baby!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, Sarah, you need to post a toot on that hand-made doily--delicious! I think the Pic Monkey (first version) edit looks better--it shows more depth. Editing can take as much time as the card, for me! Your card is absolutely beautiful. Love the soft colours, black-n-white image, the paper piercing....just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Caroline. I made it about 7 years ago! Thanks for the nice comments!
DeleteLovely Card. I really like all the little details. I find in Picassa when a picture is just not showing it's true colours that the "boost" feature can sometimes help with this. I too have spent hours trying to get a picture to look as good as the subject! Thank you for playing along with us at AHSC.
ReplyDeleteWow. this is such a beautiful card. Everything just fits with the image so perfectly. Thanks for sharing and joining us at AHSC 14
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! The floral cluster is nicely done and the stitching gives the paper the look of fabric!
