how to make custom Father’s Day coloring pages
I used Photoshop Elements for this tutorial. However, I’m sure you could do something similar in PicMonkey or Canva if you don’t have access to Photoshop. You might even be able to these results on the photo app on your cell phone!
simple Photoshop tutorial
Start by opening your JPEG in Photoshop (I’m using Elements 7.0 here).
I then went to my adjustment layers. In there I turned the saturation down all the way and the contrast up all the way.
The last step is choosing the colored pencil artistic effect. Then you adjust the paper brightness, stroke pressure, and pencil width until you have the results you want.
Then all that’s left is to print it up! How cute would it be to print up a coloring page for every year of your children and their father together? This is a sweet and simple memento to give your husband for Father’s Day, or even to print up pictures for any occasion!
