This tutorial was written on March 19, 2013. I used Corel X3, but it should work in other versions as well.
Any similarity to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.
Please look at my TOU for more info.

The supplies you need:
A tube of choice. I used a beautiful tube from Sherri Baldy.
Her tubes can be purchased at My Tubed Art.

Materials you need:
Mura’s Seamless - Stripe
Mura’s Meister – Copies
EyeCandy 4 – Gradient Glow
A scrapkit of choice. I used a kit called "[THE]easterkit_addon" by Vero.
This was FTU at DigitalCrea at the time this tutorial was written.
Mask of choice. I used a mask named “sg_tinyhearts“ by EssexGirl.
Font of choice. The one I used is called  “A Gentle Touch”

Let’s get started!

Open a new blank canvas, 700x700 px.
Select All with the selection tool and paste paper PP7 in to selection. Deselect.

Paste in EL21 and resize it by 40%. Move it down a little bit so it looks like it rests on top of the grass. See my tag for reference.

Add a new layer and choose Mura’s Seamless – Stripe with these settings:
Picture
Add a new layer and floodfill with a colour from the tube.
Add another layer and floodfill with another colour from the tube.
Go back to the stripe layer, select all – float – defloat – invert
On the top floodfilled layer, hit delete on your keyboard.
Delete the black striped layer.
Merge the top striped layer down to the floodfilled layer.
Go back to the top layer and with your Magic Wand active, click inside the frame.
Expand the selection by 3, Invert. Go back to the striped layer and hit delete.

It’s time to add the tube before we add any other elements, so add your tube and place to your liking. I placed it so it looks like she is standing on the grass.

These are the elements I used and what I resized them to. See my tag for reference on where to place them:

Behind the frame and striped layer:
EL13 - 40% - green leaf
EL3 – original size - flower
EL20 – 25% - mirrored – green ribbon
EL23 – 30% rotate 45 degrees to the left. Duplicated
EL18 – 50% - rotate 90 degrees right pink leaf

Behind the tube:
EL24 – 12% - bunny with carrot
EL29 – 40% - blue bow
EL1 – 10% rotated 10% to the right – brown egg
EL11 – 10% - pink egg with bow
EL5 – 10% rotated 90% to the left – blue cracked egg
EL9 – 10% yellow eggshell

I used drop shadow on all the elements and tube: 3, 3, 50, 8, Black

Hide the background layer and crop your creation with Merged Opaque.

Unhide your background again and add a mask of choice.
Merge group and duplicate the masked layer. Merge down.

Set your foreground and background to a colour of choice. I chose white.
Activate the Text Tool – font size 40 pixels, antialias smooth.
Go to the striped layer write “Happy Easter”. Center in canvas and convert to raster.

Go to Mura’s Meister – Copies with these settings:
Picture
Activate the striped layer – select all – float – defloat - invert.
Go to the Happy Easter layer and hit delete.

Activate the top layer, change the size of the font to 80 and write a name
or saying.

Add a glow to the name/saying by using EyeCandy 4 – Gradient Glow
With the Fat setting, the 2 colours from the striped layer and these settings:
Picture
Add the same drop shadow as earlier.

Resize the tag. I resized mine to 500 px on the longest side.
Add your copyright info and save as png or jpg.

Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs Lithy
