An Unusual Holiday Greeting Card
>> Monday, December 21, 2009
For the past few years, I have made it my personal goal to think up and produce a slightly more humorous Holiday Card. I think it's fun and unusual - my family? not so much. So, this year was a take on my idea of the "Ideal Family Portrait"... something you might have taken at Sears or JC Penney, with the backdrop of a fireplace or a snowy landscape.
Step 1: Started with a giant piece of green felt. Add the family with a self timing camera.
Step 2: Take your Photoshop, make everything green disappear and try out some different "cheesy" backgrounds.
Step 3: Make the family stand around in the front yard acting like crazy people in front of the neighbors.
And last: Upload your finished masterpiece to be printed and mail out to unsuspecting family and friends!
Merry Christmas everyone! Want to see more cards of my Christmas past? Take a look here and here.
