Personalized Card

The first thing I did was find a cartoon picture of the internet of a llama cause I llamas are awesome! Then I used the background eraser tool to get rid of the background in the picture, the grass and the eyes of the llama. Then I right clicked on the layer picture and selected the pixels. Then I went to Image, Define Brush Preset and made it a stamp. Then I made a 4 x 6 card and put a green llama in. Then I added another one but made it blue and used the bracket buttons to shrink it. I made a text box with green text, script MT Bold font and 135 point size. I used free transform to angle it and added some fx to it (bevel and emboss). Then I changed the opacity to 53%. I made another text (this one was for the picture in the text) and made it blue. I picked perpetua tiling MT for the font, made it bold and 170 for the size. I also added a few effects to this one which were drop shadow, bevel and embossa and stroke. I decided to go back on google and find a cartoon baseball. I had some trouble trying to use it cause the picture was 'index' or something so I couldn't edit it. But I used the marquee tool and selected around it then I was able to  make it a stamp with Image, Define Brush Tool and added it to the card as blue. I added another stamp to the card by googling coca cola logo and did the same thing to it-define brush preset and all. But I had to shrink it with the brackets a lot.  Then I went to Google and found a picture of a cross clipart and copied it to my card. I went to layer, create clipping mask and hid it behind the Ricardo. I wasn't sure what else to put behind them so I did the same thing (layer, create clipping mask) with two pictures I also found on google which were a clipart of a snickers bar and a curtain. I arranged them so that the cross was on top, then the curtain and then the snickers bar. The last thing I did was make a new layer and go to select, modify, border and set it to 5 pixels. Then I went to edit, fill and used a green.

The llamas represents me because I love llamas and they're awesome and last year I made a llama statue in art!! The baseball represents me cause I've played baseball for 3 years now and I love baseball. The Coca-Cola represents me because coke is my favorite drink. The cross represents me because I got baptized a few years ago and have committed my soul to Jesus. The curtain represents me because its a stage curtain and I want to work in theater when I gradgitate. And the Snickers represents me because my dog's name is Snickers and I love him a lot! I just used the actual Snickers bar though cause I didn't have any pictures of him and he's named after the candy bar :) I used so much blue and green because I those are my two favorite colors. I like the way some of it turned out but I don't really like the letters with the pictures...maybe it's just the pictures I used or something. Hmm...ALSO I used the name Ricardo cause it's my Spanish name and I like it more than Scott.
