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).
 
 ~CDO Summer 2015 Collab PTU scrapkit by Tasha's Playground.
You can get this collab for FREE if you buy any 2 CDO scrap kits between now & 10pm PST 30th June 2015.
You can buy ANY two kits you want - An Inspired By kit, a mini, a regular, a mega kit and even artist bundle kits. You can also mix and match, it doesn't matter who the designer is!

 ~The artwork of VeryMany, you must have a license to use this art which you can get HERE.

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

~Font of choice. I used Plaster of Paris.

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, add drop shadow (Filters > Light & Shadow > Drop Shadow).

3. Open Paper 5, center behind frame, remove excess paper using a cutting tool or eraser.

4. Open tubes, I used both a full body and close-ups. I changed the mode on the close-ups to Screen (at the top of your Layer Box you will see where it says Mode, click the arrow and select Screen from the drop down menu). The close-up has been added to the paper (Right click on paper layer in layer box > Alpha to Selection > CTRL I > Select tube layer in layer box > Delete). Add drop shadow to full body tube.

5. Open and place the following elements:
