Book Review
At the beginning of Greeting Cards Using digital Photos there is
an important must read section about using digital photography,
the tools you need for drawing, cutting and painting as well as
a section on the materials needed for making the actual cards. There
is also a fairly large section on techniques used in making the
cards in this book that is essential because with the help of a
photo, they clearly explain how to do techniques the reader may
not be familiar with or very accomplished at doing. Photos that
clearly demonstrate the technique being explained in the text accompany
the step-by-step instructions for each of the card making projects.
The way the instructions and photos are so clear and helpful are
what make this book accessible to even the beginner and empower
the reader with the knowledge they need to make beautiful and special
cards.
I really like the variations and helpful hints included with most
of the card making instructions that give you an extra option for
the type of photo you might want to use in the card as well as making
sure your card making efforts are a success. When you are sending
out special cards like this you have spent so much time working
on you want them to turn out well so you can feel proud about the
effort you made. I also like the idea of the variations because
the main way the card is presented may not suit your needs but the
photo used in the variation idea might appeal to you. The ideas
in this book are unique ones I have never experienced elsewhere
and anyone would be delighted to receive them for any one of the
occasions they cards represent (getting a new home, Valentine’s
Day, Mother and Father’s Days, birthdays, a thank-you, friendly
gatherings, vacations, animal lovers, weddings, new baby, family
occasions, retirement and Christmas) |
