Create a greeting card
Say Happy New Year in your own special way! Using
Photoshop Elements 2.0, you can make a unique
greeting for your family, friends, and professional
associates. This tutorial shows you how to create the
background for your card, and how to add text and a
photograph.
1. Create a new document.
Choose File > New. In the New dialog box, create a new
document that is an appropriate size for a card. We used
the typical Japanese postcard size, 100 mm wide, 148
mm high, with a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. Enter
a name and click OK.2

2. Create the background.
Use the painting tools to create your background. We
created our background by using the gradient tool and
the paintbrush.
In the swatches palette, select a color for the foreground
and white for the background. Drag down in your
document with the gradient tool.
3. Create the fuzzy snowflakes.
In the Swatches palette, choose white for the foreground
color. Choose Layer > New >Layer, change the layer
opacity to 50%, and click OK.
Select the brush tool. In the brush picker in the option
bar, choose a soft edge brush between 100 to 300 pixels.
Click everywhere you want snow flakes to appear.
4. Add a custom shape
Select the custom shape tool in the toolbar. In the
options bar, open the shape picker and then choose a
character. We choose the sheep character (character 8).
Draw the shape in your document. Select Shape 1 in the
Layers palette and adjust the opacity for the effect you
want….
