Love Vines




For this tutorial you will need the following:

Paint Shop Pro, I am using PSP X, you should be able to use any version.

Tube(s) of choice, I am using the artwork of VeryMany which you need a license to use. You can find it at Pics For Design.  

Scrap kit of choice. I am using a FTU kit, Sweet Magnolia by Dallien Design

Font of choice, I am using Janda Elegant Handwriting

Mask of your choice.

Plugins: no outside plugins used


Just remember that my choices of papers and elements is just a suggestion, change it up and make it yours! You don't have to follow mine exactly.

Add a drop shadow of your choosing to tubes & elements throughout. I usually use 1, 1, 50, 5 unless otherwise noted.


Let's get started!

Open a new canvas 750 x 750 white

Open frame 8, resize by about 25%, copy and paste as a new layer.
Click inside it with your magic wand, expand by 5, selections, invert. Open paper 5, resize by 25%, copy and paste as a new layer, click delete on your keyboard.
Merge these two layers together, move over to the left, duplicate mirror & flip. You'll probably have to arrange the flipped one a bit to make it even with the left frame.

Open frame 6, resize by 25%, copy and paste as a new layer.
Click inside it with your magic wand, expand by 5, selections invert.
Open paper 15, resize by 25%, copy and paste as a new layer, drag below frame 6, click delete on your keyboard. Leave selected.

Open your close up tube, copy and paste as a new layer. I mirrored mine and resized by 80%.
Arrange it where you want in the frame, click delete on your keyboard.

Open your main tube, copy and paste as a new layer. I resized mine by 60%, depending on what tube you use, you many need to change that amount.

Add any elements you'd like. These are what I added with the resizing amount next to them. 
Element 7, 35%, duplicate, mirror
Element 14, 35%, duplicate, mirror
Element 16, rotate right by 90, resize by 90%, arrange on bottom
Element 27, resize by 25%, arrange on bottom left, duplicate, mirror arrange on right, near the middle
Element 25, resize by 25%, arrange on top left.

Open paper 6, resize to your canvas size. Copy and paste as a new layer, just above the white background layer.
Open your mask, go to layers, new mask layer, from image, find the mask in the drop down box, click ok.
Find the mask in your layer palette, delete. Answer yes to the pop up box, then merge group.

Crop and resize.
Add your copyright & credits as needed.
Add your name, save and you're done!
