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 Anna Liwanag, you must have a license to use this art which you can get from PSP Tubes Emporium HERE.

~The Goodies Garden FTU scrapkit by Tasha's Playground.

~Mask of choice. I used WSL mask 364 which you can get HERE.

~Font of choice. I used Signerica Fat.

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 (square frame), I tilted the frame slightly using the Rotate Tool. Add drop shadow (Filters > Light & Shadow > Drop Shadow).

3. Open Paper 4 center it behind Frame, remove excess paper using a cutting tool or eraser.

4. Open Frame 2 (round frame), place it under Frame & Paper 4 in your layer box. Add drop shadow.

5. Open tube, add drop shadow.

6. Open and place the following elements:

Cloud

Ribbon

Grass

Heart 2

Dragonflies

Branch

Bottles

Frog

Flower

Flowers

~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 Cloud)~
