After having so much fun doing my card last year, I've decided to make these cards a tradition. This year's Christmas card took a little more work since someone was a little uncooperative in the photo taking process. A big thanks to my brother for taking the pictures, my mom and sister for helping to keep Calvin entertained and laughing, and my husband for putting up with my crazy ideas and keeping up his eager sledding face in all of the shots (he was threatened with his life to do so ;). So after combining 4 pictures and a lot of photo shopping, I was able to put together something that worked. See below:
Photo 1 had the most naturalistic sledding poses...I mean what can I expect when we have a sled set up on a couch covered in batting? So using the bodies from one photo, the 3 heads from 3 different photos I got to photo 2.
In photo 3 I added some snow, and a blue blue sky. Then finally in 4, some trees and more shadows. When that was done I was finally able to make the dozen steps it took to cartoon it, add some snowflakes and words...Done! It was fun and I ended up pleasantly surprised.
LOVE it Rani! You are so creative and talented.
