Do not use this artwork without a licence.

Scrapkit - FTU Tenderness by MizTeeque HERE

Masks - Mask 288 by MizTeeque HERE

Font of choice. 

Drop Shadow 2,3,55,12 Black, except the frame: 0, 0, 55,12 Black.

Xero Filters, Radiance.  MuRa’s Meister, Copies.

Don’t forget to sharpen or use the unsharp feature when re-sizing/rotating your elements/tube.

Except where noted I am working from back to front for my layering.

I am using PSP x2. Some of the effects may not be available in earlier versions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Open blank canvas 600 x 600 px, floodfill white.

Open mask and tube and minimise for now.

Open paper 16, copy/paste into canvas, resize 80%, apply mask, merge down to group, duplicate 

and merge down, re-size using your Pick tool to fill the canvas.

Open paper 1, copy/paste into canvas, resize 50%, 

Open frame ele 001 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 50%, then Selections/select all/float/defloat/invert and 

on your paper 1 layer, delete, then delete the original frame layer, deselect to leave a frame with a coloured border. 

Apply an inner bevel of your choice, then Image/free rotate/left 15 and position towards the top left corner of the canvas.

Open ele 32 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 60%, position at bottom of frame.

Open paper 4, copy/paste into canvas, position under your frame, on the frame layer use your magic wand tool,

click inside the frame, Selections/modify/expand 10px/invert and on the paper 4 layer, 

delete to leave as a background to the frame. 

Use my tag above for reference and …..

Open tube, copy/paste into canvas, duplicate and close off original. Image/mirror and 

re-size to your choice to fill the frame opening.  Click on your frame background paper layer, 

Selections/select all/float/defloat/invert and on your mirrored tube layer, delete, deselect. 

Duplicate the tube in the frame and use Xero/Radiance, default settings, reduce opacity to around 50%. 

On the other tube layer below, change blend mode to Luminance (L) and again reduce opacity to around 50%.

Dropshadow bottom copy. 

These 2 layers should be between your frame and background paper layer.

** Watch out for stray shadow lines around the edge of your canvas, delete them! **

Dropshadow frame using 0, 0, 55, 12, Black.

 

Time to add some more elements and the tube, see tag above for placement.

I used the following:

Open ele 25 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 55%, position at top of frame. Dropshadow. 

Open ele 35 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 75%, position at bottom of frame. Dropshadow. 

Open the original tube layer and re-size to fit on the right hand side of the canvas. Dropshadow.

Open ele 46 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 45%. Dropshadow. 

Open ele 48 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 30%. Dropshadow. 

Open ele 20 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 17%. Dropshadow. 

Open ele 58 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 25%. Dropshadow. 

Open ele 17 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 25%. Dropshadow. 

Open ele 8 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 20%, Image/free rotate right 15. Dropshadow. 

Duplicate and apply MuRa’s Meister copies/random use 10 for number and leave

the rest of the settings at default. Image/re-size 85%.

I then erased some of the copies to give me the effect I wanted which was having just a few

of the butterfly element over the bottom left/centre of the canvas.

Check on how it looks and make any final adjustments, add copyright and licence information

then close off white background layer and add names as required.

I used font DomCasual BT, with a Dropshadow of 2, 2, 55, 4. 

Export as png on transparent background.
