____________________


Open a New Image in PSP

650 wide by 600 high in 72 pixels/inch resolution

Add new Layer

Floodfill White

then


Open FrameCircle

C&P


Open the GreenCurtains

C&P

Place under the frame layer

and move slightly off centre then

Add a good dropshadow of choice

and

do a Selection Delete with an Expand of 6

Note: you can adjust the colour of the curtains if liked - I did :)


Then open Paper5 (Orange Chequered Pattern)

Image Resize 86% SS

C&P

Place under the Frame and Curtain layers

and

repeat the Selection Delete for this layer



Open Paper 21

Resize as before

C&P

Move down the Layer Palette just above the White Back

and Crop the Canvas to it's size (this gets rid of the 2 pixels excess from the paper lol!)

and the apply Vix_Mask341 to this paper layer


OK So now open your chosen image and tube

Place them as mine

If you want to have your tube emerging from the frame

please see my previous tut on the method for doing this

then

Move the image tube under the frame and curtain layers

but above the paper fill layer

then

Take your magic wand

Click outside the tube area on that layer

then

Selections Invert

then

In your Materials Palette, have your top box on a colour from the

tag and the bottom box on Black

then go to

Mura Meister Clouds

and

look for the Ghost Preset

Apply as mine below



(you may need to hit Reset Colours before applying)

then when applied

Change the Blend Mode to Screen

and

Do a Selection Delete for the excess image area

See what's happened, the Ghost effect has added some lush shading

around the tube's face...well, it did on my one, I hope it does on yours too :)


Open OrangeDoodleSwirl

C&P

Place as Mine

Above the mask layer in the LP

and position as mine

Then I erased the pointy part of the doodle that was showing

at the bottom left

then

Duplicate

Image

Mirror

Image

Flip


Open the Piece of Tulle

C&P

Place as mine under the curtain layer

and have it sticking out over the tube image face

but in a subtle way :D

Then

Do a Selection Delete to get rid of the excess

(No need to shadow, the element is pre-shadowed)


Open StringFlower2 (the orange one)

Position as mine on the left

then

Duplicate

Image

Mirror

Image

Flip


and move these two flowers layers down the LP to just above the

Doodle swirls layers


Then optional - add some sparkles or glitters from the kit

I used the Silver Scatter, I resized 70% and Adjust, Sharpness, Sharpen

then positioned, dupl, mirrored and flipped


Open my Wordart as provided

Recolour if needed and C&P and place as mine


So now - shadows!

Apply a dropshadow of 0, 0, 40, 10.00 Black to the frame layer

also apply to your bottom tube layer

then

for the Doodle Swirl and String Flowers - 2, 0, 50, 5.00 Black


So now crop your tag canvas if needed

Add your name in a font and style of choice

Add Artist info

Delete White Background

and

Save as a PNG

Ta-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Simple, but nice :) xx
