PTU tut - Secret Garden

This tutorial is of my own creation and any resemblance to any other tuts is purely coincidental. This tutorial is for personal use only, using it for monetary gain is against our TOU's.

Supplies Needed:

~Gimp (any version will do).

~Tube of choice. I used the artwork of Roman Zaric, you must have a license to use this art which you can get from PSP Tubes Emporium HERE.

~Her Diary PTU scrapkit by HorsePlay's Pasture Designs which you can get from Lollipops N Gumdrops HERE.

~Font of choice. I used Tempus Sans ITC.

Let's get started!!!!!

1. Open a new layer ( I prefer a large canvas, so I make mine 1050x656). Make your canvas transparent (Layer > Transparency > Color to alpha).

2. Open element 66 (frame), add drop shadow (Filters > Light & Shadow > Drop Shadow).

3. Open Paper 2 center it behind frame, remove excess paper using a cutting tool or eraser.

4. Open element 65 (window frame), add drop shadow.

5. Open Paper 10 center it behind frame, remove excess paper using a cutting tool or eraser.

~Some elements may need to be sized down. Using the Scale Tool in your tool box adjust pixels to desired size~

~Add drop shadow to all elements (except element 26)~

8. Merge layers (Image > Merge Visible Layer).
