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 Ray Leaning, you must have a license to use this art which you can get @ PSP Tubes Emporium HERE.

~Love Hurts FTU scrapkit by PolkaDot Scraps which you can get HERE.

~Font of choice. I used Great Vibes.

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

3. Open Paper 1 center it behind frame, remove excess paper using a cutting tool or eraser.

4. Open tubes. I used both a full body and a close-up.

~Add drop shadow to the full body tube.

~For the close-up tube layer, place it under the frame (but above the paper) in your layer box. Change the mode to Overlay (at the top of your Layer Box you will see where it says Mode, click the arrow and select Overlay from the drop down menu). Remove excess tube layer using cutting tool or eraser from your tool box.

5. Open and place the following elements:

Scatter 2

Stamp 1

Flower

Flower2

Heart 1

Butterfly 1

Heart swirl

Lovely wire 1

~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 for Stamp 1)~

6. Open Halftone 1. Place it under all other elements in your layer box, this will give the effect of using a mask.
 

7. Merge layers (Image > Merge Visible Layer).
8. Crop image (Image > Autocrop Image).

9. Scale image to desired size (Image > Scale Image).

10. Add copyright info and name.

11. Save as .png

You are finished :)
