Hey there! After a quick google search & a little bit of playing around with this myself, I very quickly realized I was in over my head and needed some help. I think I've put everything needed below, but if you need more information from me, please let me know! This project really means a lot to me, so thank you in advance!
  1. Description: Each time my grandparents (both now deceased) signed a card/letter/etc., they always signed off with "All our love, Mama & Papa." I have an old birthday card from them, and I would like to have that portion of the card cropped out and enlarged/enhanced to have a 30" x 40" print framed for my home. (Still thinking about the sizing, but I think this is the largest I would go. I'm assuming if it works for that size, I could easily size down if necessary?) There are some letters/words from the line above on the card that come down, and I'd like those to be removed & the background color to be even throughout so it all looks as if the other words were never there. I'm not super committed to the card's background color, but I don't really want it to be a stark white or anything. (Mainly want to keep the authentic feel of this being my grandmother's actual handwriting on an actual card vs. a computer-generated type feel, if that makes any sense at all!) Also, it's written at an angle on the card. If possible, I'd love for it to be straightened out a little bit as a whole block, not the individual words straightened out. Totally not expecting this to be perfectly straight because she just didn't write that way.
  2. Payment and budget: I'm thinking $10 via Venmo. Obviously, I'm not a photoshop pro or I wouldn't be here, so if my request is more involved than I think it is (or if $10 just doesn't feel fair), please let me know!
  3. Deadline or approximate time frame: Not on a specific deadline with this, but the sooner the better!
  4. Privacy considerations: None
[I took a photo of the card with my iPhone and airdropped it to my laptop. It ended up being a very strange file format, so I converted it to a PDF to upload here. If it would be easier to work off the actual photo, I'm happy to email that or get it to you guys some other way.]

Sorry if I'm doing this wrong--replying to add additional request. I'm actually kind of going back and forth on whether I want the full phrase--"All our love, Mama & Papa"--or whether I just want to do the "All our love" portion when I have it printed. If you could do two versions, that would be fantastic! I'll pay extra. Thanks!!

If I'm going in the right direction, you would like the handwriting only ( in black) and the card print (in red) removed? The black writing on one background?
Can you post a picture that includes all of the black handwriting ?

Hi! I’m actually only wanting the black handwriting of “All our love, Mama & Papa” on one version and just “All our love” on the second. None of the other black handwriting and none of the red card print. I actually specifically want the other black handwriting removed completely so that the resulting print has nothing but the quoted words on a uniform background (i.e., I don’t want a cropped out white area where the remnants of the other letters have been removed.) Does that make better sense?
