BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN (FTU)

This tutorial was written by me on November 9th 2011
This tutorial was written using PSP9 but may be done in other versions.

(Click to see tag in full size)

SUPPLIES:
Tube of choice - I am using the wonderful artwork of Cris Ortega, a FTU artist. Check out the art here www.crisortega.com

Scrapkit by Designs by LK called Harvest Of Memories.
This is a FTU Kit and you can get it here : http://designsbylk.blogspot.com/

Font Used : Dubarry

Let's Get Started :

Open up a new transparent image 650 x 650

Open element 25 from the kit -copy and paste as a new layer and resize by 22%.

New Layer - drag this below your frame layer. Using Preset Shapes, choose a circle shape (with your desired color) and draw out a circle just smaller than the frame.

Open element 30 from the kit - copy and paste as a new layer and resize by 22%. Drag this layer down to the bottom.

Open element 35 - copy and paste as a new layer. Resize by 15% and place this in front of your frame - to the right.

Open element 36 - copy and paste as a new layer. Resize by 15% and place this in front of your frame and clock - to the right.

Open element 13 - copy and paste as new layer. Resize by 15% and place this in front of your frame - to the right.

Open element 46 - copy and paste as new layer. Resize by 15% and place this in front of your frame layer - just so it looks like the clock etc is sitting on the leaves.

Open element 31 - copy and paste as new layer. Resize by 22% and place just behind the clock - moving it slightly to the right so it is showing.

Copy and Paste element 31 again - this time resize by 15% and place on the left of the frame.

Open element 41 - copy and paste as a new layer. Resize by 15% and place behind the small flower ... moving it slightly to the left so it is showing.

Open element 44 - copy and paste as a new layer and move to the top. Go to IMAGE and then MIRROR.

Open element 38 - copy and paste as new layer and resize by 15%. Place as desired.

Now to add your tube - copy and paste your tube as a new layer, making sure that it is sitting above your frame layer. My tube was resized by 77% but you will have to play around with this to get exactly the size you want.

Duplicate your tube layer and drag below your frame layer. Using your Magic Wand,and making sure you are on your circle background layer, click on the circle - it should now have the marching ants around the edge. Go to SELECTIONS and INVERT.

Move to your duplicated tube layer, and then hit DELETE. Then go back to SELECTIONS - SELECT NONE.

Now move to your original tube layer - and using your ERASER, working at the bottom of the tube and begin to erase the parts of the tube, until you will begin to see the frame edge clearly, and your tube will look like it is sitting inside the frame.

You can now add any other elements that you like from the kit - or maybe some animation or even a mask background - or use this little nifty trick to make a textured background instead.

*Copy Merged your entire tag - and paste as a new layer, moving down to the bottom. Adjust Gaussian Blur (about 15) and then add Texture Effects BLINDS - settings that you like*

Crop your tag to your desired size. Add your Copyright Information, and your name and you are done.
