Step 1:

Open and minimize your font. Open my mask and the tube of your choice in psp and minimize. If you don't have Eye Candy 5 then open the Brick Wall pattern in psp too.

Open a new 450 x 450 transparent image. Flood fill with white.
Have Nathy’s scrap kit close or choose the pieces you want to use. I like to leave it open so I can add extras if I want.
Choose one of the papers, copy and paste as a new layer.
You can resize the paper if you want, I did by 50% ALL Layers UNchecked.
Find the Monti Blinds Mask 1.
Load Mask from Disc with the following settings:


Add a faint Drop Dhadow;
I used Eye Candy 5 Impact - Perspective Shadow - Center Offset 0.00 - Opacity 50.00 - Blur 20.00.


Step 2:

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, Resize if needed. I resized mine by 75% ALL Layers UNchecked.
Duplicate this layer and hide the copy.
Add a faint drop shadow to the original.
I used Eye Candy 5 Impact - Perspective Shadow - Center Offset 5.00 - Opacity 75.00 - Blur 10.00.
While you still have the tube open, find the layer with the butterfly,
Copy and paste this as a new layer.
Resize by 50% ALL Layers UNchecked, mirror and move it to rest on her fingertips.


Step 3:

Copy and paste the folded ribbon as a new layer, resize by 50% ALL Layers UNchecked.
Move it so that it rests across the bottom of the tube.
Use the deformation or pick tool to stretch the ribbon to your liking.
Add a Drop Shadow.
I used Eye Candy 5 Impact - Perspective Shadow - Center Offset 0.00 - Opacity 75.00 - Blur 20.00.

Copy and paste one of the stamps as a new layer.
Resize 75% ALL Layers UNchecked and free rotate - right 30 degrees.
Add the following drop shadow
Vertical = 1
Horizontal = 1
Opacity = 70
Blur = 5

Move it to the bottom left of the image or where you want it.
Copy and paste the other stamp as a new layer.
Resize 75% twice ALL Layers UNchecked, free rotate - left 10 degrees.
Add the same drop shadow as above.
Move this layer beneath your other stamp layer so they overlap.

Copy and paste the flower cluster as a new layer.
Resize by 50% ALL Layers UNchecked, I mirrored it and moved it to the top right corner.
Add the following drop shadow
Vertical = 1
Horizontal = 1
Opacity = 75
Blur = 10


Step 4:

Remember the hidden copy of the tube?
Unhide it and bring it to top.
Select your Freehand tool - Point to Point - Feather and Smoothing set to 0.
Surround the area of dress that you want to show behind the stamp.
It doesn’t have to be perfect; it just shouldn’t touch the arm over the other stamp.


Make sure you are on the top copied tube layer and hit delete on the keyboard.
That little section of dress should now be gone.

Add the artists copyright information and your watermark.
For personalization, I used Dear Joe II
Size 72, Stroke width 0.5. Foreground black and for the background I chose one of the papers from the scrap kit.
Open it and select pattern for the background color. Scale 200.
Finally, I added a very faint drop shadow on the text.

That’s all.
Have fun and I hoped you enjoyed this tutorial.
