Spring Is Here





Snaggable versions of this tag in my Fotki album

For this tutorial you will need the following:

Paint Shop Pro, I am using PSP X7, you should be able to use any version.

Tube of choice, I am using the artwork of Alicia Mujica (White Snow Easter tube)
which you need a license to use.  

Scrap kit of choice. I am using a PTU kit by Niqui's designs called Spring Is Here 

Font of choice, I am using Ballerina Script

Mask: Becky Mask 23 which is no longer available online
if you don't have it, you could use something else, any mask you like will do

Plugins: no outside plugins




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 950 x 950 pixels with a white background

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, resize by 45%

add the following elements from your kit:
element 1 resize 60% arrange on left behind tube, duplicate, drag right, erase where they overlap
then merge the two layers together

element 53 arrange in front of fence arrange on left, duplicate & mirror
element 9 arrange below tube, duplicate about 4 times, arrange around canvas below the tube & elements 53 so the canvas has a nice grassy area

element 7 resize 45% arrange on right between fence and grass
element 32 resize 55% arrange on left between grass and fence
element 34 resize 25% arrange by tube

element 69 resize 25% arrange in front of tube to the left of the flower
