"Daring" Tutorial

You will need:

A tube - I used one of Brian Roods.
You must be a registered member of CILM to
buy the tubes.
Scrapkit called "Elegance" from Sophisticatsimone
Mask 17 from WeeScotsLass
Font
The scrapkit, mask & font are in my supplies
HERE
Plugin Filters - Ommadawn


New white canvas 650x650



Open up the scrapkit & mask - minimise the mask for now.

Selections-Select All - new raster layer, copy one of the papers
from the scrapkit & paste it into Selection. Selections-Select None.

New Mask Layer-From Image with these settings



Merge Group
Resize mask- 85% Bicubic-all layers unchecked. Duplicate-Mirror-Merge Down
Duplicate once more & on original mask layer - Effects-Plugins-Ommadawn Filter
with the default settings. Merge Down

Copy & paste Heart Big from scrapkit as a new layer. Magic Wans, click inside of the Big Heart.
Selections-Modify-Expand 5. Copy & paste another paper from scrapkit as a new layer. Selections
Invert, hit delete. Move the paper under the Heart.
Keep Selected. Copy & paste your tube as a new layer, placing it over the Heart. Hit delete again.
Move the tube image under the Heart but on top of paper layer. Adjust-Sharpen. Give the tube image
this drop shadow



Cross out the eyes on the bottom layer (white) - Merge Visible all other layers.
Copy & paste Small Heart
as a new layer, placing it left top of the Big Heart.
Magic Wand - do the same as you done for the Big Heart with the paper & your tube. When you have done that,
cross out the eyes on bottom layer once more as well as the Big Heart layer & Merge Visible all other layers.
Duplicate the small heart layer & move the duplicated layer down to the right of the Big Heart.
See mine for example. Merge Down 3 times so you only have your tag image & the white background layer




Add your name & correct copyright. Crop Tool - crop to remove excess white background. You may need to resize.
I resized mine by 85% Bicubic-all layers checked
