Just Smile Tutorial




**As with a lot of my tutorials, I use free scrap kits from a lot of different scrap kit makers.
I do include the link to the site/page those scrap kits can be obtained from, but sometimes
those scrap kits become no longer available or the site closes. When this happens, I do endeavor
to add a new link, but if I don't, please use another scrap kit of your choice that is almost
the same as the one that I used in my tutorials. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.**

You will need:

Tube - I am using one of Sue MIllers lovely tubes
You need to be a registered member of MyTagArt

but any tube will do.

Copy & paste the Wire element from the scrap kit as a new layer. Duplicate & on the original
wire layer go to - Adjust-Blur-Gaussian Blur 5.

Move the paper layer below the frame layer. Make frame layer active & give frame same drop shadow as before.

Copy & paste your tube as a new layer. Place within the frame - I erased around bottom part of my tube so
it looks as though it is popping out of frame.Drop shadow your tube.

will look nice.

Copy & paste any other of the elements from scrap kit you like, giving them drop shadow.

Then apply this slight drop shadow



Add your name & correct copyright. I added the gradient glow to the name, but that choice is yours.
