Christmas Cider


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 which you need a license to use.  
This tube is called Green Star and she was in the Black Friday 2014 pack. 

Scrap kit of choice. I am using a PTU kit, Christmas Cider by BLT Dezignz 

Font of choice, I am using Vtks Rash


Plugins: no outside plugins used




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 frame  copy and paste as a new layer, resize 25% then 65%
click inside with your magic wand, selections, modify, expand 2, selections, invert
open paper 2 resize 800 x 800 pixels

resize 75%
arrange in the frame, click delete on your keyboard
change the blend mode to Luminance(L) drop opacity to about 55
deselect, add a drop shadow of 10, 10, 50, 5 to your frame

Go back to your tube, mirror back to how it was, then copy and paste as a new layer above the frame
resize 40% arrange on the left side of the frame

now add your elements:
