But the greeting card project in Photoshop Elements only gets you started on the front card design and doesn't give you a finished printable card. This tutorial will show you how to do that including adding text and special effects, embellishing the card with additional artwork, all the way through printing the finished card. Photoshop Elements 5 or later is required for this tutorial. <strong><BR>&#8226; <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/ig/Greeting-Card/">Create a Greeting Card in Photoshop Elements</a></strong><p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/12/01/create-a-greeting-card-in-photoshop-elements.htm">Create a Greeting Card in Photoshop Elements</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/">About.com Graphics Software</a> on Tuesday, December 1st, 2009 at 08:51:52.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/12/01/create-a-greeting-card-in-photoshop-elements.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/12/01/create-a-greeting-card-in-photoshop-elements.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://graphicssoft.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/12/01/create-a-greeting-card-in-photoshop-elements.htm&zItl=Create a Greeting Card in Photoshop Elements">Email this</a></p> http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/12/01/create-a-greeting-card-in-photoshop-elements.htm 2009-12-01T08:51:52Z http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/11/29/graphics-challenge-abstracts-2.htm This week's graphics challenge theme is <strong><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://forums.about.com/ab-graphicssoft/messages?lgnF=y&#038;msg=9934.1">Abstracts</a></strong>.
