I like to create personalized cards every once in a while and decided to do so for my mom’s birthday.  I found a Photoshop template online for the average card measurements and went to work.  I knew pink and purple would be my main colors so the background was easy to do.  I added a texture filter to the main area and then created a beveled border with a glass filter around the edges.  The flowers I found online were all the same color, so I adjusts the color balance to get more of a variation.  The vines originally had their own background but I adjusted the opacity to lighten it.  Lastly, I chose a feminine cursive font and proceeded to the inside of the card.  I left the vines the same and took out the flowers to leave some room for a personalized written message.  I liked the poem that I found online so I added it to complete the card.
