Scrapkit of choice or the one supplied by

here.
Thanks Lisa for the great kit
Tube of Choice. I'm using the art of Matt Hughes who is a
licensed artist with
CILM
Photograph of choice. I'm
using one of my own, taken in the woods
Mask of choice
Scrip fonts of choice
Open a new
canvas, flood filled with white 600x500. Add a new layer,
take your selection tool, selection type Rounded Rectangle, and
draw out a rectangle. Select a paper from your scrap
supplies, and paste into the section.
Selections/Modify/Contract by 40, and hit delete. Select
none.
Add the
following inner bevel to your shape.
Using your
magic wand, select in the centre of your rectangle shape.
Selections/Modify/Expand by 3, and paste your photograph as a new
layer, Selections/Invert and hit delete. I've given my
photograph an Edge Preserving Smoothing (found under Add/Remove
Noise), setting 15.
Activate your
background layer, and select one the papers. I'm using an
opposite colour. Copy and paste as a new layer. Apply
a mask of choice, a hazy edge one would be a good choice.
Merge group.
Now copy and
paste your tube and add some embellishments. Add the
following drop shadow to your tube, frame and any embellishments.
V -2, H 2, Opacity 75, Blur 10.
Using a fine
script font, add a quote or poem of choice to the inside of the
frame over the picture you used. Something fitting.
I'm not very good with poems, but then I couldn't find anything to
suite. So I winged it. Add a same drop shadow, but
change the opacity to 100 and the blur to 2.
Next add your
copyright and your name. Add the drop shadow that you added
to your tube to your name, and save as a jpeg or png.
