Template 403 from Millie's PSP Madness

copyright doesn't show. 

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 your template, shift D to duplicate and close the original

Delete the following layers: Raster 1 & copy of raster 1

Change the canvas size to 900 x 850 so you have room to work

Fill the layers with papers, to do this make sure the layer you want to fill has been clicked on in your layer palette.

layer 5 use paper 5

layer 6 use paper 12

Open your tube, resize 65% and arrange the layer below the front rectangle

now for our elements, I used:

element 1 arrange behind template layers on left

you may want to duplicate it and put it just over the blue circle layers and erase the stems that show at the bottom of the template just to fill it out a bit more

Plugins: No outside plugins

I do use Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow on all my copyrights/credits layers

I do this because some forums will make a .png tag show up with a black background and then your

copyright doesn't show. 

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 pixels with a white background

Add the folowing elements:

open element 13 copy and paste as a new layer resize 90% arrange on the left

open element 93 copy and paste as a new layer resize 85% arrange on the left

open element 95 copy and paste as a new layer arrange behind the castle pieces 

so it becomes your tag background

element 132 resize 45%  arrange between castle towers

element 64 arrange in front of the greenish part of background

element 99 arrange on the right, duplicate & mirror, drag these layers below the background layer

Open your tube, copy and paste as a new layer, resize 85% arrange in front of castle pieces

element 13 resize 60% arrange so it looks like it's climbing the tower

element 83 resize 60% arrange just behind & to the right of your tube

element 33 resize 30%  arrange on top of rocks

element 130 resize 30% arrange in front of rocks

element 123 resize 30% arrange around tube, duplicate & mirror, arrange around tube

copy and paste the same element, resize 20% arrange by wishing well
