Coloring the EASY WAY!

Now that I have a REAL artist doing the coloring I have all but stopped doing it myself....mainly because there really isn't enough time!  And, because, why?!

Andrea colored Victoria Penny (Link) in blue.  I wanted to play with changing her with CorelPhoto-Paint so

  • I copied her onto an second layer,

  • I changed the "hue" of the copy just by sliding a bar...  Naturally, that change her face to a sickly greenish blue so

  • I erased the flesh from the 2nd layer so that the bottom layer showed through.... TADA!!!  Two of the same girl in different colored outfits :-)
To make this card I took the 2nd Victoria Penny and flipped her.  It's hard to see here but the card opens in the middle between their hands.  I did that by printing them on opposite edges of the paper facing out...and I did the same with half the text (interesting process that!)
