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 Ellie Milk, this tube is a PFD exclusive and you must have a license to use it which you can get @ Pics For Design HERE.

~Summer Breeze PTU scrapkit by Tasha's Playground which you can get at PFD or SATC.

~Mask of choice. I used WSL mask 363 which you can get HERE.

~Font of choice. I used 1 Snappy DNA.

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 Frame 3, add drop shadow (Filters > Light & Shadow > Drop Shadow).

3. Open Paper 3 center it behind Frame 3, 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 Sand & Wave)~
