Etsy Shop Border Solution Success!

When I first began my online Etsy shop, Hallieodom, Lost In Wonderland (https://www.etsy.com/shop/hallieodom?ref=si_shop), I was very hesitant in allowing my shop to show character. Part of the reason being that darn banner...

They wanted me to download something onto my computer that never really worked out for me and always led me to quit trying. This left my shop without an identity for the longest... I'm talkin 2+ years. Until I discovered picmonkey.com. It's so easy and convenient!

Picmonkey.com allows me to pull pictures directly from my computer files, without making me download anything onto my computer. The site is completely online and FREE. WooHOO!

My picture of choice was part of a white daisy and red lady bug from a pair of shoes created for a client and a friend. When cropping my picture, I found it easier to put the size that I needed (760x100) and then look for the best picture within those parameters.

After playing with effects and shading, I added my text which is my shop's name and my name. I chose a BADA*S fony lettering, if I do say so myself, called Bleeding Cowboys.

And the end result...

 
 
I'm really happy with it!
