  Supplies

 

PaintShop Pro ( I’m using version XI but any version will work)

Tube/Image of choice ( I am using the beautiful faery artwork of Renee Biertempfel…Please do not use the same image unless you have a license to do so. You can purchase her artwork & a license from C.I.L.M  www.creativeimagelicensing.com

Frame, paper, bow, & flowers are from my scrap kit called Petals & Lace & can be purchased at http://scrappinbratsplace.blogspot.com/

Mask that is included in the zip file here

 

 

Ready………..Here we go

 

Unzip your mask & put it in your mask folder within PSP & open the rest of your supplies that you’re going to be using & minimize them for now.

 

Open a new canvas 600x600 pixels

 

Copy & paste one of your papers onto the canvas (you can resize the paper to your liking)

 

Go to layers ~ load/save mask~ load mask from disk~ look for the mask I provided or one of your own choosing

With the following settings :

 

  

 

Over in your layer pallet right click on the mask layer & select merge group

 

Right click again & chose duplicate layer.

 

On the original mask layer apply a light drop shadow

 

Resize your frame then copy & paste it as a new layer onto your working canvas

 

Resize, copy & paste your image/tube that you’re using & move it under your frame layer

 

Click back onto your frame layer & using your magic wand click inside your frame

 

Go up to selections ~ modify ~ expand by 5 pixels

 

Click back onto your tube/image layer & then go back up to selections & click on invert

 

Now hit delete on your keyboard… this will remove all the excess outside your frame.

 

Maximize the big flower that you are using & resize it to a workable size

 

Copy & paste it & move it to the lower right corner of your frame

 

Open your flower vine & resize it then copy & paste it as a new layer

 

Make sure this layer is below your large flower layer & move it so the bottom

 

Of the vine is hidden behind the flower. Duplicate this vine & then mirror it

 

Move it to the top of the frame but make sure that this vine layer is under the original vine layer. ( see my tag as an example )

 

You can use your erase tool to remove any excess stem that’s showing. At this time you can also add a drop shadow to each of your flower layers

 

I used vertical & horizontal -1, dropped the opacity to 65 & the blur to 3

 

Add all of your copyright information as well as your license number if required.

 

Now you can add your name. I used the font Edwardian Script with 2 different shades of pink from my tube then applied a drop shadow of v=1 & h= -3

 

Opacity 64 & the blur 3.

 

Now go to layers & merge all… I also resized the tag by 85% & now you can save it.
