Wounded Souls

This Tutorial was written by me, Angel Flower, from my own ideas. Any similarities to others is coincedence. All my tutorialsare registered with TWI.

For this tutorial you will need

Two tubes of choice from the same artist. I am using the work of Rebecca Sinz, you must purchase a license from AMI to use her work http://www.artisticmindsinc.com/.

Scrapkit- I am using a PTU kit called Wounded Hearts by Kellsinator which you can get here http://digitalchaos.net/store/.

New Image-500x500-transparent.

Paste a paper of choice as your background layer.

Paste the frame1 as a new layer and resize a little using the pick tool, the little arrow, and drag it by a corner to the size you need. Position to the top left of the tag.Duplicate and go image mirror. See my tag for reference to how this should look.

Choose a paper for the frame background. Paste it as a new layer and move it below the frame layers. Grab your magic wand-mode is add, match mode is rgb, tolerance 20, feather 0, anti-alias and contiguous checked.Make one of the frame layers active and click in the center with the magic wand, go to selections-modify-expand by three, selections invert, and on the paper layer you chose for the frames hit delete. Select none. Nowpaste that same paper again and make the other frame layer active, click inside with the magic wand, and follow the same steps we just did.

Both of these paper layers should be below the frame layers.

Paste your first tube as a new layer, if needed resize just a little, and position the part you want to show through the first frame into place. Grab the magic wand with the same settings, make the frame layer active that you are currently using, click in the center and selections-modify-expand by 3, invert and on the tube layer hit delete. Make sure this layer is below both frame layers. Repeat these steps for the second frame and tube.

Once happy with the tube placements, give them both a slight drop shadow of choice.

Paste the swag2 as a new layer, resize about like mine and position in the top center of the frames. Give it a drop shadow and the duplicate it and go image mirror. This should place it on the right side of the tag, if not justpostion it to the right as i have mine. Duplicate this one and drag it over to the left side of the tag. Try to position them so they look like they are all connected. See my tag for reference.

Paste flower3 as a new layer and if needed resize, position on the bottom left of the frames.

Duplicate and mirror and position this one about the same as the one on the left. See my tag again for placement. Give each flower a drop shadow.

Paste satin pillow1 as a new layer and resize and position in the center of the two flowers we pasted.

Paste a butterfly as a new layer, resize, and position as i have mine, I then duplicated it and mirrored it and slid it down some. See my tag for placement or place how you like. Give them both a drop shadow.

Almost done. Paste one of the glitters as a new layer, resize and position to one side on the bottom of the tag. Duplicate and mirror. If needed reposition slightly.

Because i made my tag a size of 500x500, i did not resize it but if you wish to resize yours, now is the time to do so. Use the image resize method, only this time change the percent to pixels, make sure all layers and lock aspect ratio is checked, and change the size you want.

Now add your copyright so it is CLEARLY visible.

Add your name and center it between the two glitter spots. Give it a drop shadow of choice, I used a white drop shadow with a blur of only 2.

Save and you are done!!
