Compendium

***********************

with everything all set to go, let's get started.

open the template and delete my copyright layer.

open frame2 from the kit and resize by 90%.

copy and paste (C/P) as a new layer above the template background layer.

open paper6 from the kit and copy.

paste as a new layer above the Rectangle1 template layer.

on the Rectangle1 template layer, select all/float/defloat/invert selection.

hit delete on the paper6 layer and select none.

hide the Rectangle1 template layer.

go down to the background layer and select all.

image > crop to selection.

this deletes any excess paper portion not visible on the canvas.

now add a new layer above the Rectangle2 template layer.

on your color palette, set the following colors:

foreground - #4f5c24

background - #c0d18e

set the following gradient settings:

add a new raster layer below the paper6 rectangle layer.

with your flood fill tool, set the tolerance to 20.

use your magic wand tool to select the area inside both Rectangle2 shapes.

fill the new raster layer with the gradient.

invert your selection and hit delete on the gradient layer.

select none and hide the Rectangle2 template layer.

open the laceframe element and resize by 80%.

C/P as a new layer above the gradient rectangle layer.

now add a new raster layer above the Circle template layer.

on your Circle template layer, select all/float/defloat.

flood fill the circle selection on the new raster layer with this color:

#798e38

select none and hide the Circle template layer.

duplicate the green circle layer.

on the duplicate/top circle layer, go up to effects > 3D effects > cutout.

use the following settings:

V - 0

H - 0

OPACITY - 100%

BLUR - 100.00

SHADOW COLOR - #4f5c24

INTERIOR FILL COLOR - none/unchecked

now change the blend mode for the cutout circle layer to hard light.

merge down one layer.

for the clovers layer, you may choose to use a paper/color to fill it.

or you could just hide it and use the clovers included in the kit as I did.

now add the tube of your choice.

now that all the basics are done, add any elements, text and tubes.

don't forget to add artist credit and license info.

when you're all done, copy special > copy merged.

paste as a new image and use your magic wand tool to select outside the tag.

invert selection and crop to selection.

that will get rid of any extra space that you don't need.

thanks for trying my tutorial! =)
