I love this effect. It reminds me of a gift shop postcard and its simplicity will surprise you.
- Find an image
- Add some text
- Adjust the layer FILL slider (not the layer opacity slider) to 0 – opacity
- Add a bevel effect (or some other layer style).
- Wha-Lah!

Great tutorial!! Very cool effect, I was wondering if I can do this on Photoshop Elements 5.0? I’m not sure if it has a fill opacity.

I really like the tutorial, but how do I finish? I really want to make my very own post card, but I got stuck! What about the size that usually the print need to print the card? I want to learn more.
Thanks

Hi Tania,
Most postcards are about 4 X 6 inches. You can download some great Photoshop templates at http://www.48hourprint.com/photoshop-templates.html that will help you layout your card.
