Help Rebecca Sedwick's family

Rebecca Ann Sedwick was a 13 year old girl who was being bullied at school and on line. 

Unfortunately she took her own life. Her mother can not afford to pay for all the expense a funeral costs. 

So in honour of Rebecca some designers got together and created this huge and i mean HUGE collab.

If you want to help you can go to Scrap-A-Licious and purchase it for just $10. 

All money made goes to the family and the pay pal fees will be paid for by the store owner.

Once you make your purchase you will need to send your receipt to KandiiPopz@gmail.com to get your unique code. Please allow 24 hours, as she's in the UK and there is a time difference with some of you. 

Please please if you can help this family in there need for help. 

Thank you

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

change canvas size to 850 x 850 pixels to give yourself a bit more 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. 

Click inside the shape with your magic wand, selections, modify, invert, open your paper, copy and paste as a new layer, 

click delete on your keyboard.

Delete the original template layer

Some layers, like the frames, you may just want to flood fill with a color from your kit. To do this, click on the layer in your layer palette, add another raster layer above it,

click inside the shape with your magic wand, and flood fill it with your color

Delete the original template layer

I used the following papers or colors for each layer

layer 7 change hue to 13 saturation to 254

copy 2 of raster 7 change hue to 13 saturation to 254

copy of raster 7  (there are two) change hue to 24 saturation to 214

Raster 5 layer  use paper 4

Copy of raster 5 layer  use paper 4

Raster 3 layer  leave as is

Raster 4 layer  use paper 1

Copy of raster 4 layer  use paper 1

Raster 6 layer  use paper 9

merged layer  use paper 4, add noise, uniform, monochrome 65

raster 2 layer  use paper 4 change brightness to -25 contrast to -15 to darken it up

For the promoted layer (word art) set your foreground to #481804 and background to #4f4f4f

Take your color changer tool and go over the layer to change the color

Do the same with the larger word art layer called merge

Make the rectangle layer in the center active, selections, select all, float, defloat, invert

open your tube, mirror, copy and paste it, arrange it inside the area and click delete on your keyboard. Deselect & drop the opacity to about 35

Do the same with the top one of the two square layers

Copy and paste your main tube, resize if needed (I did by 75%) arrange on the bottom

I moved the word art and one of the leaf layers around a bit more to my liking to work with my tube as well

Now we'll add our elements, you can check my tag for a better idea of placement if you'd like

element 65 arrange across bottom

element 49 resize 75% arrange on left, duplicate, mirror, resize 75%

element 15  resize 40% arrange on right

element 34 resize 40% arrange on right

element 16 resize 40% arrange on right

element 18  resize 30% arrange on top of word art

element 68 arrange behind tube and flowers on the bottom in the middle
