Sweet Candy Ftu

For this tutorial i used the lovely art of Elibabeth Austin,you need a licence to use her art.

You can get this and buy tubes from Up Your Art

The scrapkit i used is a great ftu kit from Pink Princess Scraps called Like..OMG!Get that here

Mask is from Vix,mask 407 here

Alpha i got from Oso Honey called Lollipop here

Filters used-Filters Unlimited 2-colour filters.

Onto the tut......

Open a new image 700x700 and flood fill with white,you can resize later.

Add a new layer,and go to selections,select all and paste in paper 1 from the kit,deselect.

Find you Vix mask,layers new mask layer,from image and hit ok.Layers merge down.

I added a drop shadow and then used Filters Unlimited colour boost on this.

Paste ele21,the circle frame onto the canvas,place it it in the centre of the mask and colourize it,

adjust Hue&Saturation set to Hue-189 sat-182,and add a drop shadow.I use 3,3 35 6.

Now add your tube and place it sitting on the frame,and add a drop shadow.

Paste ele38 onto the canvas and resize it by 40%,use your deform tool to make it point upwards a bit and place it

at the top left hand corner,as in my image.Duplicate it and image mirror and place the duplicate on the bottom right.

Paste ele40,the pink ribbon onto the canvas,resize by 50% and place at the top right of the mask.

Open ele10 and 11 and reisze one by25%,and the other 20% place where you like on the frame.

Add a drop shadow and sharpen.

Paste ele19 onto the canvas and resize by 60%.click inside the heart with your magic wand,and go to selections,modify

and ex[and by 3,then open ele15,the lollipop,and paste as a new layer,arrange inside the marching ants from the magic wand,

and then selections invert,and edit cut.select none and drag the lolly pattern underneath the heart frame.

If it doesn`t fit completely inside the frame just use your deform tool to strethch it out a bit. 

Add a drop shadow to the heart frame,sharpen and then layers merge down,so the heart and lolly fill are merged together.

Arrange at the bottom left of the canvas.

Now add your name using the alpha,i used capitols for my 1st and last letters.When you have all your letters on the canvas,merge them all,

and add a drop shadow and sharpen if needed.Place at the bottom middle of the canvas.

Paste ele30 onto the canvas,and resize by 30%,and place on top of the heart frame you just made.Sharpen and add a drop shadow.

Now paste ele 43,the purple glitter squares and click on the mask layer,then paste as a new layer-sharpen and drop shadow,then layers 

duplicate,flip and arrange the duplicate at ther bottom,the original at the top.

I used my lasso tool to get rid of any glitter squares going over the top of my pieces of transparent tape.

I duplicated again,and this time image rorate,90% to the right,and arranged this layer to the left hand side,and duplicated

again,and mirrored,then arranged that layer on the right.Use your selection tool to get rid of any you don`t want,just highlight the

squares you don`t want with the selection tool,right click,edit cut select none and repeat until you are happy.

Add your copyrights.

Now delete the white background,merge all layers,resize to your liking,and save as a png.

That`s it you are done!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial :)
