  • This is a really neat video tutorial!! I was wondering, would I be able to do this with Photoshop Elements 5.O, I don't think I have paths or pin tools, but I have the Lasso, and Magnetic Tool, and the pencil tool. Would those work?

  • It's tricky, but your best bet is the Ellipitcal (round) selection tool. Make a big selection and remove the excess.

  • You are the happiest person on Youtube!

    Thank you for your kind words.

  • how big ar the card

  • I used A5 size (width=2480px height=1748px)but you can use bigger or smaller without any real problems.
