Size: 32
Hardness: 75
Step: 5
Leave all the other settings alone.
9 Now, zoom in close on photo, click and drag. You’ll see the color magically appear where ever you drag
your mouse.
10 Continue erasing until whatever you want colorized it showing color. As you work you may need a smaller
eraser. You can change the size in the Tool Options Palette at the top of the screen.
11 If you find that you’ve over erased and area, exposing color where you don’t want color,
just right-click and drag over the area to un-erase.
12 That’s all there is to it, once you’ve finished exposing the color in the photo, just save your work as a jpeg.

15 Resize and position where desired.
16 Add a new raster layer.
17 Click on your brush tool- pick a brush of choice and change the opacity to 50%.
18 Use a color of choice. I just used the color yellow to match some of the elements I plan on using from the kit.
19 Click wherever you desire the brush to be and then add a drop shadow effect to the brush.
20 Open, copy and paste as new layers any desired elements from the kit.
21 Resize and position where desired.
22 Open, copy and paste as a new layer the wordart from the kit.
23 Resize and position where desired.
