Onto the tut.......
Open a new image 650x650-You can resize later-flood fill with white.
Open the wreath from the kit,resize by 55% and place in the middle of your canvas.
Add a drop shadow-i use 2,2 50 5,and go to adjust brightness and contrast,and choose clarify.
Change the strength to 5 and hit ok.
Open paper 6 from the kit and resize by 55%,and paste as a new layer.Drag this paper under the
wreath then use your lasso tool to remove any overhanging parts.Repeat the clarify steps as above
on the paper.I darkened this paper a little to match the tube.
Open flowerswag and resize by 50%,and place at the bottom left of the wreath.
Use your deform tool so the flowerswag points upwards towards the top of the wreath.
Apply a drop shadow and sharpen.
Now duplicate the flowerswag,and image flip,image mirror,and place at the top right hand of the frame.
Paste in your tube now,so it`s easier to build the frame around it.
Duplicate the tube,and drag the duplicate under the wreath,using your eraser tool
remove any overhanging parts on the original layer,
add a small drop shadow and sharpen if needed.
Open bird2 and resize by 20%,image mirror and place on the top left of the frame,sitting on top of the
blue flower.
Click on the white background layer,and paste the clusterframe element as a new layer.Resize by
about 80%,and position at the top left of the frame.Position to your liking,
and add a drop shadow and sharpen.
Again,use your lasso tool to remove any parts you don`t want.
Open the window element,and resize by 40%,then paste onto your canvas.Drag it below the frame,
and place on the top of the frame,next to the bird2.Drop shadow and sharpen.
Open lightpost and resize by 50%,place at the top left of the frame.Place in front of the window.
Add a small drop shadow,and use the brightness and contrast clarify settings you used earlier.
Use your lasso tool to get rid of the bottom of the lightpost.
Now add leaf*,resize by 20%,and rotate it 90% to the left,and place next to the lightpost.
Open the frame element,the one with the blue bow,resize by 50% abd place at the bottom right of the
original frame,add a drop shadow and sharpen.
Open trunk,resize by 25% and place in front of the small frame.Use your deform tool to make it sit straight,
then open the key element,
resize by 10% and place next to the trunk.Add a drop shadow and sharpen.
Open flowerleaf*,resize by 20%,and place ,to the left of the trunk and behind it.Sharpen.
Open stars element,and click on the paper inside your frame,and paste the stars as a new layer.
Place where you like it,and duplicate and flip.
Now add anything else you like around the frame,add any wordart or sparkles etc
then add your name.
I used a gold gradient for the stroke,and a dark green from my tube for the fill,
I used an inner bevel and added a small gradient glow.
Add your copyrights,and delete the white background,merge all layers,and save as a png.
That`s it you are done!
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial :)
