You don't need expensive software or photo editing programs to use digital stamps. I personally open all my digital files in Microsoft Word, which I'm familiar with and find easy to use. For this card, I opened one of the images from A Drover's Life, resized it to 9cm in height and then played around with the picture editing tools that are right inside the program. I started by changing the colour to blue and then added an artistic effect called line drawing, which made the image look as though it had been coloured with a pencil.

Thanks for this comment on altering digi's - I must play with mine more. I use Libre Office share ware, but I am sure I could get some fun effects if I 'played' with it.

Beccy, This is one of the neatest cards EVER! I use Word, too! But haven't tried the line drawing artistic effect yet. Going to give that a try! TFS

Great tip Beccy --- I use word to open up and print digitals but have not used the tools you mentioned - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Beccy this is a stunning card. I used Microsoft Publisher to edit images and add backgrounds. I find it very easy to use. Take care. Hugs Jackie
