Summer's End

This tutorial was written by me on August 27 using PSP X4. All my tutorials assume you have some working knowledge of PSP and/or Animation Shop.

Supplies:

Tube - I'm using a great tube by Freya Langford-Sidebottom.  You need a license to use this image.  You can purchase tubes/license at AIL.

Scrap Kit - I'm using a great kit by Lexi's Creations called " Farewell Summer".  Visit her blog here to find out where you can purchase this great kit.

Mask of choice

Font - I'm using M A Sexy

To begin open tube and mask in PSP - minimize for now - new 700 x 700 image white background

1. Copy/paste wire as new layer - position in center of canvas - copy/paste flower of choice as new layer - resize - position towards the top left of wire - duplicate - image mirror - image flip - drop shadow your flower and wire layers

2.  Copy/paste leaves 1 as new layer - resize and rotate - position towards bottom left of wire - duplicate - image mirror - image flip - drop shadow both layers

3.  Copy/paste rose of choice as new layer - resize - position over leaves on bottom left - duplicate - image mirror - image flip - position - drop shadow both layers

4.  Copy/paste sparkles 1 as new layer - position - duplicate - position - copy/paste tube as new layer - resize if needed - drop shadow tube layer only

5.  Copy/paste feather of choice - resize - position on bottom of tube (if using one like mine) - duplicate - image mirror - drop shadow both layers

6.  Back on white background - copy/paste paper of choice as new layer - layers - new mask layer from image - apply - delete original mask layer - merge group - you can add a sparkle to this  layer if you want

7.  Close out white background - crop/resize tag - add copyright/license info and name - save as .png

That's it!!  Thank you for trying my tutorial!!
