Fairy Tale

This tutorial was written by me on August 17 using PSP X4.  All my tutorials assume you have some working knowledge of PSP and/or Animation Shop.

Supplies:

Tube of choice - I'm using the beautiful art of Elias Chatzoudis.  You need a license to use this image.  You can purchase his tubes and a license at his store HERE.

Scrap Kit of choice - I'm using an amazing kit from Designs by Sarah called " A Sorta Fairytale".  You can purchase this great kit at Pimp My Tags w/Scraps.

Mask - I am using zuzzana mask 60 which you can get HERE .  It is the 9th mask listed.

Font of choice - I'm using akaFrivolity

To begin open mask and tube in PSP - minimize for now

1.  Open a new 700 x 550 image white - c/p a paper of choice as a new layer - layers - new mask layer - from image - invert mask data checked - apply zuzzana's mask - delete original mask layer - merge group - this is going to be our frame

2.  Copy/paste lights as new layer - resize if wanted - position - copy/paste bricks as new layer - position - drop shadow

3.  Copy/paste branch 2 as new layer - resize and rotate 90 left - position on left side of tag - duplicate - image - mirror - drop shadow both layers - copy/paste moon as new layer - image - mirror - position on right side of tag and move below the branch layers

4.  Copy/paste clouds as new layer - position towards top of tag 

5.  Copy/paste flowers 1 as new layer - resize if needed - position on bottom of tag - duplicate - image - mirror - drop shadow both layers
