I've been given permission to show the cards that I designed and printed for my friends'
Accountancy Aid business, so I'm now showing what I did for this year and then what I did for last year.
This year I was given a drawing of their premises to work on, so this is the scan:

I digitally changed the image, taking out the security camera on the left and adding some snow to give the picture a festive look. I then used elements from My Craft Studio Magic of Christmas CD to add to the picture. The biggest problem I had was that the print out from MCS had a crop mark in the bottom right hand corner and I couldn't get rid of it, so in the end I somehow managed to save the complete image as a PDF and then converted this to the Jpg to work on further to make it ready to print. I got there in the end, but the whole card took so many tweaking episodes that I was having to call the documents by lots of different names and found it quite hard to find the latest one to work on - my computer has so many versions saved!
This is what I was working on when I showed my workspace for
WOYWW 126.
So 300 cards have now been delivered to
Accountancy Aid and this is what the final card looks like:

I made cards for them last year, but didn't show them on my blog, so thought I would now. This is a photo that I was given to work on - looking up the road towards the
Accountancy Aid building.

I digitally removed the blue car which was near the building and put a door in its place. I also removed the bit of the car poking out on the left hand side. I softened the edges and added the holly corners and the greeting - and then printed 300. This has actually got a white background - not sure why it's showing clear on here.
