Supplies needed: Tube of choice - I am using Martina by Carpe Diem, whom it appears is no longer doing tubes/artwork.Do not any use artwork without a licence.Scrapkit - FTU Emerald by Mizteeque HERE
Another great free kit. Thank you Tee!Mask of your choice. (I used Dragon_fly (Vivienne) 53 HERE
Font of choice.
Drop Shadow 2,3,55,10 Black.
No Filters.
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 4, copy/paste into canvas, resize 75%, apply mask 53, merge down to group, re-size by 90%
and move down and towards bottom right corner of your canvas.
Open frame 3 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 55%. Position central in canvas.
Open paper 5, copy/paste into canvas, Image/Mirror, resize 45%, adjust size fractionally using
your Pick Tool to make a background for your frame.
Use my tag above for reference and …..
Open tube, copy/paste into canvas, re size to suit (I used 80% with my tube).
I then drew a rectangular selection around my tube/invert and deleted around 50% of it. Deselect.
I then ‘softened’ the bottom edge with my eraser to lose the harsh straight edge and make it appear to
be coming out of the frame. I also erased a little bit off the bottom left side of the tube.
Duplicate the tube, Adjust/Blur/Gaussian blur at 5 px, change blend mode to Overlay and reduce opacity to around 65%.
Dropshadow the bottom copy and Dropshadow the frame.
Time to add some more elements, see completed tag above for placement.
I used the following:
Ele 29 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 40%, duplicate 3 times and merge down.
Position above masked layer and under frame/background layer.
Ele 21 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 50%. Dropshadow.
Ele 34 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 50%. Dropshadow.
Ele 49 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 50%. Dropshadow.
Ele 7 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 35%. Dropshadow.
Ele 8 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 17%. Dropshadow.

Ele 11 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 20%. Dropshadow.

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 The Blacklist with a dropshadow of 2, 2, 55, 4.
Export as png on transparent background.
