Using Photoshop to Create an Original Halloween Card

I decided to design my own Halloween card this year, get it printed up, and mail it out.

I started out with this black and white photo of my daughter. I was intrigued by the highlights in her hair and thought I could do some sort of Bride of Frankenstein thing. I was having trouble with the hair, so I decided to try something else.

I removed scars and blemishes and colorized the face and hair.

Then I merged the result with my own black background. And, voila!

A Wicked Halloween!

The inside of the card reads: Have a Wicked Halloween! Steve & Dawn

I got the cards printed up on Snapfish. The price included printed envelopes.

HAVE A WICKED HALLOWEEN!
