I Love Nature

I Love Nature Tube of choice, I used Suzanne Woolcott and Rion Vernon Scrap used Beri Bug Frolic by Gemini Creationz Font of choice I used Good Vibrations by Rob (PTU) Graphic Program of choice, I use PSP 9 This tutorial assumes you have working knowledge of paint shop pro, All of my tutorials are my own creation and any similarity with any other tutorial is purely coincidential. Please do not copy my tutorials to anyplace, please link back to my blog! Open a new image 750x750 and flood fill white, ( you can ALWAYS resize later, I like having plenty of room to work) Open gcz-bbf-frame1 c/p as a new layer, image resize by 140% smartsize (all layers NOT checked) now open gcz-bbf-rock c/p as a new layer and arrange to your liking (you can use my tag as an example if you like ) resize this by 70% layer duplicate and then image mirror, duplicate again and resize this by 80% and arrange with the other rocks, I placed mine on the left hand side of my frame Open gcz-bbf-grass 1 c/p as a new layer, and arrange around your rocks, I duplicated mine and mirrored it, then put the smallest rock layer above both of these. now open each of the gcz-bbf-mushrooms c/p as new layers and resize to your liking, arrange these around your rocks and grass, I resized mine from 20% to 30% I also duplicated the grass again and resized that as well, Now open gcz-bbf-fern and c/p as a new layer I put this behind my rocks, I duplicated this and moved it up and to the right of my frame, duplicated again and flipped it, now open gcz-bbf-flower1 c/p as a new layer and place over the 2 ferns at the top right, layer duplicate and flip, arrange to your liking. Now open gcz-bbf-fern2 c/p as a new layer and place this layer below your frame layer, move it over to the left side of your tag, duplicate and resize by 60% image rotate to the left by 18% I duplicated this again and moved it over just a bit to the right. now open gcz-bbf-butterfly2 c/p as a new layer, resize it by 30% I darkened mine up just a bit, and place it on the rocks, now open gcz-bbf-butterly1 and c/p as a new layer, resize it by 40% and place it on your daisy at the top right. Now grab your magic wand and click inside your frame, selections modify expand by 8 selections invert, open gcz-bbf-paper6 c/p as a new layer below your frame layer, hit delete, leave selected, Now add your tube, and hit delete to rid the excess that may be hanging outside the frame, I used a close up tube. I also changed the blend mode on the Gorjuss example to luminance (L) now add a drop shadow of choice to your elements, I did not dropshadoe the grass layers or the fern layers. I picked a color from the daisy's and added a mask layer with that color I used a round mask. now hide your white background and merge visable. I always resize my finished tag BEFORE adding my copyright info, it makes this seem clearer, add your name and copy right information and Save the way you prefer to save tags, I hope you enjoyed this tut smiles christy Ü
