This is my final design for my baby announcement. It was  designed with friends and family in mind to send out when she arrives. I took a photo and changed the hue and saturation levels until the skin tones were what I wanted, then I watched tutorials on color tones and adding a splash of color to the photo. I thought red was appropriate for the heart in the center of my tummy.  I experimented with font and chose two different styles for the writing. Finally, I used the brush tool and designed a pair of leafy vines to crawl up the sides of my belly. All in all, I am very happy with the finished product and cannot wait to print them out in the next few weeks!!

This is my second phase of my project. I thought I had uploaded it last week, but don't see it here, so I am posting it again.

 This is my first attempt at a baby announcement. I was excited to learn a few new techniques such as saturation and hue changes. I am now learning how to do different font. stay tuned!
