Glorious Autumn

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 which you need a license to use. 

Scrap kit of choice. I am using a PTU kit by Mellie Beans called Autumn, Glorious Autumn 

Font of choice, I am using Mademoiselle Camille

Mask of your choice

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 element 21 copy and paste as a new layer
click inside with your magic wand, selections, modify, expand 2, selections, invert
open paper 7 copy and paste as a new layer
click delete on your keyboard and deselect

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, resize 45% arrange so she's sitting on the bottom of the frame
 

 now add your elements:

element 2 resize 25% arrange behind basket on right

element 3 resize 40% arrange to the left of the pink flower
