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 of choice, I am using the artwork of Ismael Rac which you need a license to use.
Scrap kit of choice. I am using a PTU kit, Ocean Blue by Pimp'd Designz, available at
Font of choice, I am using Riesling
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 850 x 850 with a white background
Open window element, copy and paste as a new layer, resize 135%
Use your selection tool set on circle, click in the center of the window with your mouse
hold the mouse button down and drag it out until the marching ants go all around the clear part of the window and just a tiny bit into the brown frame.
If it's off slightly, no worries, you can move the paper when we get done so it lines up in there better.
Selections, invert
Open paper 4, copy and paste as a new layer click delete on your keyboard.
deselect and move your paper a little if any white shows around the inside of the window frame
Open your tube, copy and paste as a new layer, resize by about 55%
Open paper 5, copy and paste as a new layer, apply your mask, make sure to have this on the bottom, just above the white background layer
Add your elements, check my tag for placement
