Thanks Lynn. The backgropund color gave me a lot of trouble. Still not married to it, but I couldn't remember how I got the gradient tool working so I couldn't get back in to play with it some more. I know there's a place to create a new gradient swatch because I stumbled upon it to do this background, but I couldn't find it again!

I like how you placed the photo and tilted the book. I also like the the background color, too. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteVery well done! What font did you use? I'm gonna try real hard to figure out the gradient feature as well...
ReplyDeleteI'm travelling so I can't check on the font name, but I think it was "vin winery" or "win vinery" or something like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment!
