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).

~In my Garden PTU scrapkit by Tasha's Playground.

~Font of choice. I used Stalemate.

Let's get started!!!!!

3. Open Paper 7 center it behind Frame 4, remove excess paper using a cutting tool or eraser.

4. Open Frame 5 (round frame), place it under Frame 4 & Paper 7 in your layer box. Add drop shadow.

5. Open tube, add drop shadow.
