Beauty and the Beast

Remember, my tutorials are a guideline only, let your imagination free.

Materials needed:

A scrapkit from A space between

Called Backyard friends

A tube or image of choice

I chose one from ©Simona Candini  @ www.mytubedart.com

Let's begin

The scrapkit is really large so we have to resize a lot.

Sharpen when you feel it is needed.

I started big with a new image 800x800

Copy element26, paste as a new layer.

Resize 35%, Resize 60%

Copy element5, paste as a new layer.

Resize 35%, Resize 60%

Copy element4, paste as a new layer.

Resize 25%, Resize 60%

Move to the right bottom of the frame.

Layers duplicate, mirror.

Merge these 2 layers, move this layer behind the frame layer.

Keep this layer active.

Copy element3, paste as a new layer.

Resize 35%

Move a little to the right.

Duplicate this layer, mirror and merge these 2 layers.

Activate the frame layer.

Copy element15 and paste as a new layer.

Resize 35%, resize 60%.

Move to the bottom left corner of the frame.

Layers duplicate, image mirror, merge these 2 layers together.

Copy element38 and paste as a new layer.

Resize 35% and again 35%.

Move a little to the left ( see my tag for positioning )

Copy element9 and paste as a new layer.

Resize 35% and again 35% and then again with 60%

Move to the bottom left corner of the frame.

Layers duplicate, image mirror.

Merge these 2 layers.

Copy element36 and paste as a new layer.

Resize 35% and again with 35%.

Move it into the middle of the red roses.

Copy element8 and paste as a new layer.

Resize 35%, again with 35% and 60%.

Move it to the middle of the red roses but move it a bit more down

( see my tag for positioning )

Now it's time to add your image/photo, you can use a tube too, choose a paper instead and then add your tube.

Activate the frame layer.

Select the inside of the frame with your magic wand, 

selections expand 8 pixels.

Make a new layer beneath your frame layer.

Copy your image and paste into selection**

**Be careful when pasting images or photos into selection, they may get deformed or stretched

and it doesn't look very pretty.

This image I used is deformed slightly but it still looks ok.

If your photo or image doesn't fit that frame you just paste your image/photo as a new layer underneath the frame layer, selections invert and hit delete.

Give everything a dropshadow you like, Crop your image merged opaque, 

Add the correct ©info, your license number and name after you have resized

Save as JPG or export as PNG

Remember, my tutorials are a guideline only, let your imagination free.

Materials needed:

A scrapkit from Cindy's Creative Designs

A mask from me, click for bigger size and save as .jpg

A tube of choice

I chose one from ©Judy Mastrangelo  @ ADI

Let's begin

Open your tube and mask in PSP

New image 600*600 transparant

Select all

Copy paper7  and paste into selection

Select none.

Apply the mask

Merge group

Now here is something different, instead of telling you where to put all the elements I have made a tag-build-up animation to show you how I did mine.

The original idea for this animation comes from René Kunert aka giZZy, and I was given permission to use it in my tutorials, Thank you giZ you're the best!!

The animation starts after I have applied the mask.

Crop your whole image, add your tube, give everything a dropshadow.
