Bridesmaids cards

These are my thank you notes to my bridesmaids, to my junior bridesmaid, and to my bride's man. The damask pattern was made for my save-the-dates and other wedding stuffs using a stamp. I made a dress shape in Photoshop, printed it, and cut out the dresses. I tied knots with satin ribbon around each dress. Then it was a matter of layering: the card, the pattern, the ivory background, the dress w/ the ribbon.

Photoshop fun

My sister got married in the mid-90s before digital photography became the main form of documentation. Given the date and given that the photos have aged a little, her wedding photos were not digital and did not pop. So, my sister scanned an image of her and our Dad, and I let Photoshop do the rest. Here we have a updated image of my sister and our dad on her wedding day back in the 1990s. Doesn't she look bright and happy? She is positively glowing.

I used exposure, gamma, brightness, contrasts,
a warming photo filter, and masks.
