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 element 107 copy and paste as a new layer
click inside with your magic wand, selections, modify, expand 2, selections, invert
open paper 16 copy and paste as a new layer
click delete on your keyboardCopy and paste your tube as a new layer, resize by 55%
arrange in your frame
erase the bits that hang out of your frame where you don't want them

element 26 resize  45% duplicate & mirror arrange one on the bottom in the center, the other on the right side up a little way from the bottom

element 43 resize  40% arrange at the bottom of the set of flowers on the right side

Garden Melody

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 Ninaste - Beehive Studio (Melody tube) which you need a license to use.  This tube has several layers with different color choices and matching assessories.

Scrap kit of choice. I am using a PTU kit by Tiny Turtle Designs called Melody 1 made to match this layer of the tube. This kit is really nice because it's got floral element and ocean elements so you can make your tag with either theme and have plenty of each type of element.

Font of choice, I am using Peanut Butter Cookies

Mask of your choice - a floral mask is nice for this one

(sorry, I couldn't find a name of who made this one or any TOU in this file to figure out where I got it, so I can't give you a link to get it)

Plugins: No outside plugins
I do use Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow on all my copyrights/credits layers
