This tutorial was written on February 9th 2009 by Heidi.
This tut is from my own imagination & any similarities are purely coincidental.
No Linking or copying anything..
Under no uncertain terms are you allowed to make money from anything produced from this tut, this is against my TOU's

 

 

 

 Supplies

 

I wrote this tut using PSP XI but any version will do.

Your tube of choice. I am using the beautiful artwork of Olivia

You can purchase a license from CILM

Please don't use the same tube unless you have your own license to do so.>

Scrap paper, frame and various elements (I used pieces from my Loving mini kit) which can be found in the February issue of the AFX Ezine.

Your choice of font ( I used Lovers Quarrel)

 

 

Let’s Begin

 

Open a new canvas 600x600 and flood fill it with white.

 

Open the frame you have chosen to use, copy & paste it as a new layer (resizing if needed)

 

Using your magic wand click inside your frame & then go up to selections, modify, then expand and expand by 5 pixels.

 

Do not deselect yet.

 

Open the paper you have chosen to use (resize if needed, I resized mine by 15%) then copy & paste it as a new layer, making sure it is below your frame layer.

 

Go up to selections & then invert, hit the delete key on your keyboard (this will remove the excess paper).

 

Open the tube you have chosen & copy & paste it as a new layer, make sure it's below the frame but above the paper, center your tube & then press the delete button on your keyboard once again.

 

You can now select none.

 

Next open the green vines (or whatever greenery you have chosen, resizing if needed) copy & paste it as a new layer.

 

Move the vine to the right side of the frame. (See my tag as reference)

 

Duplicate this layer, then image, mirror.

 

Copy & paste the heart brad (resize if needed) & move it so that it sits in between the vines.

 

Copy & paste the pink rose (again resize if needed) & move it to the right side of the heart brad.

 

Duplicate this rose & then mirror it.

 

Copy & paste the red rose (resize if needed) & move it to the right side of the vines & move it above the pink rose.

 

Duplicate the red rose & then mirror it. (see my tag)

 

Now chose one of your favorite fonts & type out your name. I used Lovers Quarrel which is a pay font and I cannot supply it. I chose a dark red for my stroke & pink for the fill.

 

At this point you can add a slight drop shadow to each layer if you so wish.

 

 

Add all of the appropriate copyright and licensing info, merge all layers, resize if desired and save.

 

 

That's it you're all done!
