This card is currently out at all Target stores. I created two of these 10 framed flipbook cards which was very challenging concidering I had to complete both of them in a very short time span. I hope everyone who see's this post has a chance to see them in the stores. The concept is great! I am not sure who came up with the card format but, it is genius. The animation frames are on the inside of the card and are triggered or flipped when you pull on the tab. I know the animation is very robotic but, that is how committee told me to set it up. They felt that it made the animation smoother as a flipbook.
This card was created in Photoshop. I scanned in all the textures and altered the colors using the Channel Mixer. I created the patterns in the fabric using Pattern Overlay in the Layer Style, and made a variety of brushes that I used for the stitches. I know it seems funny to hear a guy say this but, I enjoy creating this digital stitching technique. I hope everyone else likes it too.
This cards front has the pumpkin cars eye's cut out to see the cat and mouse on the inside. I liked the technique so I thought I would share it with everyone.
This was the second time I was asked to create a girl bear dressed up as a princess for Halloween. The style is very different from the first time. If you would like to check out the original click here
This is the second Strawberry Shortcake 3D DVD cover that I retouched. I didn't have to clean this image up as much as the first one. The first image with the purple is what I retouched for American Greetings. The second image is what I was given. I also cleaned up the back and disc label art as well.
