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 Elias Chatzoudis, you must have a license to use this art which you can now get HERE.

~Color of Love PTU scrapkit by KnC Scrapz which you can purchase at Lollipops N Gumdrops HERE.

~Mask of choice. I used WSL mask 287 which you can get HERE.

~Font of choice. I used Mr. Canfields.

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

3. Open Paper 2 center it behind Frame 1, remove excess paper using a cutting tool or eraser.

4. Open tube, add drop shadow.

5. Open and place the following elements:

WA 1

~Add drop shadow to all elements (except WA 1, Ribbon, Sequins & Branch)~

8. Add mask to paper (click HERE for a tut on using masks).
