I was playing around with my new Clearly Creative Cardstock and Photoshop! OOOH AHHHH! Can I just tell you how much I {heart} this cardstock? It is the first time I have had the honor of playing with it and it is just what you would expect from papertrey. It is heavy, beautiful and will leave your transparency paper on the shelf!!! So in playing today, I really wanted to make something special for Emma. She has really been making my last couple of days full of joy, so I wanted to share how much she meant to me.
Don’t see anything?
How about now?
I added a second layer of Vintage Cream cardstock underneath along with what I found to be the “perfect” sentiment for a picture of the two of us together.
I used Aqua Mist ink and Handwritten Notes along with the photocopy setting on photoshop for the picture. I really love how it gave sort of a soft black and white look, almost sketched on the creative cardstock. Could you imagine Baby announcements or shower invites like this? What about an anniversary card for your hubby? Wow, they would be so nice! AND it is mostly printing but adding a special hand stamped touch. Something to try for sure!
Stamps: Handwritten Notes
Paper: Clearly Creative Cardstock, Vintage Cream cardstock
Ink: Aqua Mist
OHHHH, Becky! What a keepsake for sure! This should be framed! LOVE everything about it…you are such an inspiration!
I LOVE this! Thanks so much for sharing.
Beautiful! I can see that I need to add Photoshop and Clearly Creative Cardstock to my very lengthy wishlist now. Thanks for sharing your inspiring work!
becky – miss emma is a loved child indeed to have her mama make something so beautiful that she can keep forever.
Thanks for sharing your unique flavor with all of us.

Absolutely breath taking!!!!!! What a special photo and soft presentation that captures the essence of the card. Truly, a keepsake to frame and keep forever. I hope that I can learn to create such a treasure.

BEAUTIFUL Becky!! What a gorgeous card for your daughter!! You’re hired to make my next baby announcements – lol!
WOW. What else is there to say?!?!?
Absolutely beautiful!
What? then-Wow!-that is so cool! What a great idea! That could work for so many things. Thanks for sharing
Really cool! What do you use for an adhesive on the clear cardstock?
This is stunning—I’m keeping that as an idea for many future things—announcements, invitations—I’m seeing all sorts of things!
Holy Cow! Is this something else or what? This is gorgeous! Seems like forever since I’ve gotten a post from you but glad to see you’ve been busy with all these beautiful creations. Loved what you did with the buttons, too!
Have a happy Easter!
Hugs,
WOW, this is amazing…what a wonderful card and keepsake. Would LOVE to see a little “tutorial” on how to achieve this in Photoshop ;-}!
I really like this look you have created and the buttons are fantastic, are they from Papertrey?
Very nicely done.
Very cool idea. Love it.
Absolutely Stunning!
A real keepsake…
a precious moment captured forever
Thanks for sharing.
Holy smokes ~ this is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!!
I would love to know how you did this – did you print the clear cardstock right from your printer?
It is such a clever idea!
This is incredible….I have to get cracking and learn to do Photoshop…..I have figured out that I need to live to at least 80 in order to do half the stuff I want to do. Thanks for sharing, it’s beautiful.
Can you share how you did the whole thing, printed on the clear cs? Pretty please….i want to make some!
Oh, this is sooo breathtaking. I had to look at this again and again. I will definitely have to learn how to use Photoshop. I must get that cardstock. The card you made has to be framed. You should make two, one for Emmy and you. It is simply gorgeous. Thank you for inspiring us with your wonderful ideas.
Becky, Absolutely gorgeous!!!! I would love a tutorial for this project!
Totally amazing! I, too would love a tutorial on this!
Ooooh, this is absolutely gorgeous!!!! I need some of this Clearly Creative Cardstock
Thank you for sharing!
I would love to see a tutorial on this …. PLEASE! I love how soft and understated this is!
