2010 07 Rocket Car Banner


The font for "Have Fun, Be Good" is Georgia. The other font is Trebuchet MS. The overlay is from Shabby Princess' free Celebrating kit, CelebrateWordsOverlay, although it was edited in Photoshop to erase the edges of the overlay where the designs are cut in half, and the opacity is reduced to 24. I have to say, I really like the subtle effect it gives.

Yo, Sarah, it's your birthday!



Colors
Green: red=150, green=194, blue=83
Teal: red=41, green=132, blue=128
Purple: red=122, green=74, blue=159

The font is AdLib BT. The text on the purple circle is white and has a shadow (Opacity=65%, X=1, Y=1).

The design is made with circle and rectangle shapes. The stripes on top began with a large green rectangle. I then added rectangles of varying width of white, teal, and purple. I didn't worry about placing the bottoms of the stripes evenly. When I was pleased with the design, I made a white rectangle the width of the card and placed it over all the other stripes, creating a clean edge.

The picture has a size 1 white mat and is rotated -17. It then has a green mat and a purple mat surrounding it. The purple mat has a shadow (Opacity=65%, Blur=5, X=2, Y=2).
