Once I had selected the pictures I wanted to display, I gave them a watercolor treatment in Photoshop. This was the most difficult part as most tutorials for watercolor treatments were generally too “watery” for the look I was going for so ultimately, I had to do several layers to get just the right painted look. I also didn’t want to make a carbon copy of the old ansichtskarte but to walk the line where one doesn’t know for sure if it is modern or not. Some pretty painted flowers (a staple on these old cards) and the ubiquitous “greetings” and it was all done!
