*********************** 

with all the files ready to go, let's get started.

open my template and delete the copyright layer.

add a new raster layer above the background layer and select all.

open paper12 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none.

now apply the mask at default settings.

right click on the mask layer to merge the mask group.

resize the mask by 90%.

now add a new raster layer above the Oval2 template layer.

on the Oval2 layer, select all/float/defloat.

open paper02 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none and hide the Oval2 template layer.

repeat the previous steps with the following papers and layers:

Rectangles2 and paper05

Rectangles1 and paper10

Oval1 and paper13

now on the Rectangles/paper05 layer, duplicate it.

on the duplicate layer, apply a cutout with the following settings:

V - 0

H - 0

O - 100%

B - 70.00

shadow color - #000000

fill interior - unchecked

change the blend mode of the cutout to overlay.

repeat the cutout step with the Rectangles1/paper10 layer.

now open the gcz-icicles02 element from the kit and resize by 33%.

copy and paste (C/P) as a new layer on the very top.

use my tag for placement reference.

now duplicate and mirror the icicle.

merge down one layer so both icicles are on one layer.

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! =)
