Made a MINI t-shirt for Daddy's little girl

I photoshopped a picture of my shift ****.
Now, I just have to convince my 4 year old to wear a black t-shirt (at least the color is neon pink)

There's a little R56 MCS next to the "DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL" text

Do you like it?

That's pretty neat! How'd you do transfer the image onto the Tee? Is it one of those iron-on transfers, and if so, how hard is it to do? thx.

Cafepress.com was the site I used. There's a good tutorial about using Photoshop to make an image that is transparent. That way, the t-shirt doesn't end up with a big square on it, just the image.

Haven't seen the real shirt yet, I was just excited to show off the "here's how your shirt will look" image. When it comes next week, I'll post what it looks like (I assume silk-screened).

Like your shirt...Like your siggy even better. Gotta love a pic of a rear-facing Britax Marathon in a MINI.

Can you send me a link for how to do this? Or is the tutorial on the Cafepress site? I've never been able to get an image w/o the huge square, so it'd be extremely helpful. TIA.

there's a tutorial on the site that even talks you through a variety of photo editing programs. For photoshop, some of the tips were really useful (eliminate halos, etc. )
