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 Robert Alvarado, you must have a license to use this art which you can get @ PSP Tubes Emporium HERE. ~Black & White FTU scrapkit by Mirella which you can get on the Creative Misfits blog HERE. ~Mask of choice. I used mask 7 which you can get from HorsePlay's Pasture HERE. ~Font of choice. I used Monika Italic. 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 19 (frame), add drop shadow (Filters > Light & Shadow > Drop Shadow). 3. Open Paper 5 center it behind frame, remove excess paper using a cutting tool or eraser. 4. Open tube, add drop shadow. 5. Open and place the following elements: Element 4 Element 5 Element 23 Element 31 (x2) Element 45 Element 50 Element 52 (x2) Element 67 (x2) Element 71 (x2) ~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~ 6. Open Paper 18. 7. Open mask. 8. Add mask to paper (click HERE for a tut on using masks). 9. Merge layers (Image > Merge Visible Layer). 10. Crop image (Image > Autocrop Image). 11. Scale image to desired size (Image > Scale Image). 12. Add copyright info and name. 13.
