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).

~Une Belle Vie PTU kit by A Taggers Scrap which you can find @ The PSP Project HERE.

~Tube of choice. I used the artwork of KiwiFireStorm, you must have a license to use this art which you can also get from HERE.

~Template of choice. I used MPM template 715 which you can get HERE.

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

~Font of choice. I used Alex Brush.

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 template in PSD format, remove and move layers of template around until they are the way you like them.

~Add paper from scrapkit to individual layers of the template (Right click on template layer in layer box > Alpha to Selection > CTRL I > Select paper layer in layer box > Delete).

These are the papers I used:

Paper 4
Paper 5
Paper 10
Paper 20

  ~I colorized some of the template layers to better match the scrapkit (Colors > Colorize > play with the setting until you get the desired color).

~Add drop shadow to template layers (Filters > Light & Shadow > Drop Shadow).

3. Open tube, add drop shadow.

4. Open and place the following elements:

Bead Spill 2
Bling Swirl 1
Bling Drop
Heart
Light
Sign
Hat Box
Deco 4
Brad
Button
Pillow 1
Candle
Bag 2
Flower 2
Flower 3
Flower 4
Flower 10
Heart Box
Perfume Bottle

~Some of the elements may need to be sized down. Using your scale tool in your tool box adjust the pixel size until element is the correct size~

~Add drop shadow to all elements (except Bead Spill 2, Bling Drop & Light)~
