Digital Card Making with PSP

I love making my own greetings cards and thought that the card challenges would be a lot of fun. I have a lot of paper and pens...and the other things one would need to make great cards. I found myself trying to keep up with what is new on the market... then I realize all the stuff, the papers, glue, and stamps were getting very costly and I was running out of space to store it all.

That is when I decided to make elements for my cards in Paint Shop Pro aka PSP. PSP is a software that I have been teaching myself since version 3. Now using version 13 I have learned that the program can also create images and paint them as well. Light bulb went off...why not use it to make my cards and not just some elements for the cards. And so digital card making began for me...and boy has it saved me money.

This blog now consist of my creations that I have made using nothing but PSP. I found the challenge for me is to teach myself how to meet the different card challenges within PSP.

Well that is how all this digital stuff began...Just thought I share.

365 Card Challenge - Mask


This challenge was to create a mask image
with a stamp. To do that when I was doing
paper card making, I would use a piece of
scrap paper to cover the part of the image
that I did not want to stamp on.

Well in PSP I would use layers to get the
same effect.

For the card that I created. The rose is
what I am using as my mask. I put each rose
on a different layer that way each rose
was controlled separately. The ending result
is the same.
