Personalized card

This is my personalized card that i think represents me. First I typed my initials on the page, then I used the internet and found a picture that i thought would look good for the backround of the letters. After that i made a layer above my text layer for the image. Then I made sure to copy onto my text. I then went to layer, and selected create a clipping mask which put the photo as the backround of the text. The last step I did was I went to filter and selected render clouds.
This photo represents me because I'm always looking at the sky daydreaming. I also think the letters represent my personality, the fact that my life has been very colorful and a whirlwind.

 this picture was taken in september of 2010. with corrections made. I used auto without the flash on. for corrections I  used the Quick selection tool to select just the tractor. Then I double clicked to drag it (the tractor) over to the road image of mine. But the it was to big so I went to image clicked free transform to make it smaller. Next I changed the brightness to -16 and the contrast to -26 lastly I added the title in yellow at the bottom with font size at 200 and the font set at wide Latin with a crisp cut the last step I did was right click on my tractor layer and hit blending options. I set the distance at 26 left the spread at 0, and set the size to 38. i put the drop shadow on the tractor because the shadow i thought would make it look.... better.
