For the swirl I wanted part behind the pink rectangle, so I arranged it so the one of the dips fell past the rectangle, then I duplicate it and draged one layer above the pink papered rectangle. Then using my selection tool, on top swirl layer, I traced out a square, centering the left selection tool border too the dip point. Hit Delete, select none.See example:
Now for the words I applied the same GG to the small words, then same d/s. I added the same noise to the Amazed word, then duplicate the layer, and on the bottom layer I applied the a d/s of 5,7,60,5.00.
Now before we add our copyright info and mask lets resize. make sure all your layers are visible, all the original ones that you were suppose to delete are gone. Click on top layer, image resize, all layers checked and resize 85%. If you want to crop now the time to do it as well. Add your text and copyright info.Create new raster, floodfill #000000, arrange this new layer just above the white bg. Open your mask, minimize it . Back on your image go to layers, New Mask Layers, From Image, in the source window find the mask, have source luminance checked and click ok. In your layers window you will see 3 layers of the mask, go to top one of those 3, right click, merge group. If you need to align the mask, just go to pick tool and using the lil arrows stretch it to where you want it. Now to save this as a transparent image, delete the bottom white layer, Merge visable and in the Save As box, change the setting to .png format.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial:) Dee

Any similarities is completely coincidental

Create New 800 x 800, floodfill white, we will crop and resize later.
When I use C/P in this tutorial, it means copy and paste the original into your image as a new layer. Open up frame8, C/P, resize 60%, arrange it just right of center. Open up Door, C/P resize it 75%, arrange it to the left of your frame, bottom just a tad below the frame. Click on your white bg layer, Open paper04 C/P. Click on your frame layer, using your magic wand tool, click anywhere on the inside of frame, selections modify and expand by 4, selections invert, on your paper layer hit delete. Now add your close up tube the same way. Go to adjust, Hue and Saturation, colorize and put in these settings, 38 for hue and 24 for saturation. Click Ok. Now change the opacity of that layer to 40. Now add your main tube, using the same method, and colorize it the same. Apply d/s to your main tube
4,6,40,7.00. Apply this same d/s to the frame and door. Back on white bg layer, open your tree tube C/P. Arrange it so it sticks out the left side of the door, all the roots visible under the door. Apply same d/s. Open up flower5, C/P resize 50%, add behind top right corner of frame. Apply d/s. Open up grassy border C/P, arrange it so it extents upward, covering the bottom of the door and frame, we will crop the sides in the next step. No d/s on grass. Open up Ribbonwrap, C/P, resize 80%, place over the bottom edge of grass, now on your grass layer, use your eraser tool set to circle about 30 size and erase the part that extends past the edge, but not straight up and down, angle your erases, so the grass is wider on top. Doesn't have to be perfect as it will be covered. Open up brick, C/P, resize it 40%. Duplicate three times and arrange them how you want them to appear on your image, I flipped, mirrored until I got what I thought looked good.

Just leave the bricks up a tad on the right side of the frame for our walkway. Click on your white bg layer, Open walkway, C/P resize it 50%, arrange it so the rough edges stick out past the ribbon. If you have any excess in front after you align the back to touch your bricks, just erase them. Do d/s on the bricks. Click on your top frame layer, open up flower6, C/P, it should self center, erase any part that sticks out the left side of the door, apply d/s but do so with checking the lil box on seperate layer, I just had the shadow appear on the frame, so go to frame layer, select all, select float, select invert, on your shadow layer, hit delete. Click on your top frame layer, open up fabric, C/P, arrange it so it sticks out from the door, overhanging onto the frame but not too high so it passing the height of the tree, erase any part that hangs below your ribbon border. Apply d/s.Open up the keys, C/P resize it 20%, arrange it over the doorknob, overlapping the top a tad. Click on your door layer, and close out (click on the eye) your key layer. Now on your keyboard, 800 +, then 800+ again, you should be zoomed in, using your freehand tool set mode to add, draw a circle around the doorknob, by selecting add, if its not perfect, you can select a portion to add to it. It doesn't have to be perfect as it is just a subtle difference. while the ants are dancing, add a d/s, uncheck the new layer, of 2,3,40,5.00.
Now unhide your keys, you will see the overlap, on your key layer, hit delete,select none. Now apply the same d/s to the keys. View zoom to 100%. Click on your Door layer. Open up light, C/P resize it 50%, arrange it to left top side of door. Apply ds. Open up the glare tube (mine), arrange it center to the light, bring layer below the light. Click on your Tree layer, open up bucket,C/P, resize it 25%, arrange it on your walkway, a lil behind your main frame. apply d/s. Click on Tree layer, open up cattails, C/P, resize it 40%, arrange it so it lines up with the walkways edge, hiding behind the bucket and frame. Erase any part that sticks out below the bucket. No d/s. Click on top layer (for viewing) Open up flowers, resize 25%, duplicate mirror, arrange them where you want them (see my image for reference) then drag that layer to where it should be so it half hides behind something. Click on top layer, open up ribbon 1, C/P, image resize 85% apply d/s. arrange it to just to the right of the left corner of the ribbon border. Open up flower 4, C/P, resize 25%, arrange one over the bow of the ribbon you just added, duplicate mirror, move it to the other corner. Open up tag1, before we add it to our image we will add the text.
First I found the tag too long, using your pick tool bring in the right side about 5 squares worth. Move back to your move tool. Find a font you like, I used Chelsey thin. Set at Black , size 72, then using my pick adjusted it to fit tag. Hint, put your alignment to center (click on it), then you can add all the words at once. Once happy with how the text looks, right click on layer, convert to raster, right click merge visible.Image, free rotate, all layers checked and rotate 15 degrees left. Resize (all layers checked ) 35%, C/P as new layer.You will be asked if you want to save the changes to the tag when u close it out, say NO. Arrange your new tag layer below your ribbon and flower, left hand corner, apply d/s.
Make sure all your layers are visible and your happy with it. Go to top layer, image resize, all layers checked. Image resize 85%, you can crop too if you find you have too much on one side. Mine was OK. Click on your bottom white layer, open up paper 6, C/P as new layer. Open up your mask, minimize it. Back on your image go to layers, New Mask Layers, From Image, in the source window find the mask, have source luminance checked and click ok. In your layers window you will see 3 layers of the mask, go to top one of those 3, right click, merge group. If you need to align the mask, just go to pick tool and using the lil arrows stretch it to where you want it. Add your text and copyright info. Last thing I did was go to the door layer, using my magic tool, click on the heart, selections modify and expand by 3, then on the tree layer hit delete, on the mask layer, hit delete, select none.
