Peace

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 Alicia Mujica (Peace Police) which you need a license to use. 

Scrap kit of choice. I am using a PTU kit, 8 of 2014 by Amy Marie

Font of choice, I am using CAC Shishoni Brush

Mask: WSLMask84

Plugins: No outside plugins used
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

open  copy and paste as a new layer
click inside with your magic wand, selections, modify, expand 2, selections, invert
open paper 2 copy and paste as a new layer click delete on your keyboard
open your tube copy and paste as a new layer resize 38% arrange in the frame, erase where the bottom hangs too far out of the frame & deselect

Add the following elements
element 79 resize 75% arrange on bottom right

element 61 resize 75% arrange behind stump on bottom right

element 33 rotate left 90 arrange behind yellow flowers on bottom right, erase where the stem sticks out

element 23 resize 75% arrange on bottom left

element 27 resize 70% arrange on bottom left, 

duplicate, resize 70% mirror, arrange behind the layer 23

element 42 arrange on right, below the frame background layer 

so it shows below everything on the bottom right, duplicate & mirror

element 49 resize 45% arrange in the center on the bottom

element 43 resize 55%  arrange on bottom in front of grass

element 25 resize 65%  arrange on top of flowers
