Tamara's Garden Gate Scrapkit

To Start.

New Image 600 x 600, transparent. Choose the background you like best. Open it and look for it in your patterns palette. It'll be near the top. Floodfill your blank image.

Find the Frame. I used it at its' original size and did DS of H/V 2 (do the -2 as well) Op 100 and Blur 2

Now this was the finicky part. I had to make my tube look as if it was behind the frame, when it wasn't. So I resized it to fit into side the frame then did the DS as above. Make sure to sharpen your tube image. I then Merged down the tube and the frame.

New Raster Layer. Okay now I used my selections tool and drew a long thin shape. I flood filled it with another of the backgrounds. DS H/V 2 Op 80 Blur 3. I did this x2 more times with different colors.

New Raster Layer and using the same tools draw the ones that run along the bottom. I left one on top and the other I moved below. I then hide my tube/frame and background layer then clicked on the first layer and did a merge visible.

I then used the flower doodle and resized it to 70%. I rotated it 90 to the Left. Mirrored it, placed it and then did the DS as on the drawn lines above. I sharpened it too.

I resized the ladybugs and placed them. I did 25% and then 70% resize on them. Again the same DS. I recolored them as well.

I resized the pink flowers to 30% and placed them on the flower doodle. Same DS.

Merge All.

Now what I did was use my crop tool. I stretched it out to exclude all the rough ends of the drawn lines. Then cropped it. This gives the finished product a clean look.

Time for your words. I used the Font Vianta. Chose two colors from your tag I used #29668d and #395434. I did a DS of 1/1 80 1 and then did another of 3/3 (do the -3) 50 5 with the pink from the flowers.

and your done!
