PTU - Natural World of Fantasy

This tutorial was written April 17th, 2013. I used Corel X3, but it should work in other versions as well. It’s assumed that you have working knowledge on how to resize and working with layers.
Any similarity to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.
Please look at my TOU for more info.

The supplies you need:
Any tube you decide on. I’m using an exclusive tube from Maxine Gadd. This tube was purchased in an event called Taking Back PSP from October 2012, so unless you took part in that event, you can’t get the tube. It will never be up for sale anywhere.

I also used a kit called “Natural World of fantasy by Disyas Digitals Designs. You can purchase this kit at The Scrapping Box.
Here is a preview of the scrapkit:

Materials you need:
Mask of choice. I used “sg_daisy-edge by EssexGirl.
A suitable font. I used “Alex Brush Regular”.

My settings for drop shadow: 3, 3, 70, 8, Black.

Make a new canvas 700 x 700 pixels.
Add frame F2.
Add element E7 and place it underneath the frame. Duplicate this and place one above the frame. Add a drop shadow to this layer.
We want the top part to stick out of the frame, so on the top layer, remove any section that is supposed to be underneath the frame so it looks something like this:

Activate the bottom layer and add a paper. I used P10.
Click inside the frame with your Magic Wand. Expand the selection by 5, hit Invert and click Delete on both the bottom element layer and paper layer. Select none and add a drop shadow to frame layer.
Hide the bottom layer and merge visible.

At this point, I placed the tube. I had to resize it down to 60%, placed it on the right side and added a drop shadow to it.

Now you get to play with the elements.
I used the same drop shadow on all these elements as I did before.
You can also look at my tag for replacement.
These are the ones that I used and where I placed them:

Element E1 – placed on the right side below the frame. I erased the roots at the bottom.
Element E75 – resized to 60%, mirrored and placed on the left side behind the frame.
Element E51 – place it in the top left corner, behind the frame.
Element E13 – placed at the bottom of the tag, behind the frame.
Element E17 – resized down to 85% and placed at the bottom, above the tube.
Element E11 – placed at the bottom, right above element E13.
Element E3 – resized to 60% and placed at the bottom right side to hide the sharp edges on the previous layers. Duplicate and mirror.
Element E48 – rotate 90 degrees to the right and place at the bottom of the tag.
Element E27 – Mirror and flip and place at the bottom of the tag.
Element E88 – Rotate 90 degrees to the left and place at the bottom of the tag.
Element E91 – Do the same as you did with element E88.
Element 79 – Rotate 90 degrees to the left and place at the bottom right. Duplicate it and rotate this one 15 degrees to the right.
Element E40 – resize it to 50% and place in the bottom right corner.
Element E50 – place it in front of the frame. Rotate 15 degrees to the left.
Go to Adjust – Sharpness and choose sharpen.
Element E21 – placed on the top layer, on the left side of the frame.
Place a bow in the top left corner of the frame. I used B2. Resize it by 50%, rotate 45 degrees to the left and sharpen it (like you did with element E50).
Go the element E21 and erase the bits that stick out above the bow.

Hide the bottom layer and crop your tag with Merge Opaque.
Activate the bottom layer add a new raster and Select All.
Paste a paper into the selection. I used P12.
Select none.
Add your mask and merge group.
I duplicated my mask layer and merged these 2 together.

Change to your Text Tool, find the font, change the size to 80, both fore- and background colour to white and write your name. Convert to raster.
I moved the name to the layer below the lamp (element E21). Add the same drop shadow to the name as you used earlier.

Resize your tag, add proper copyright and save as png or jpg.

Thanks for trying!
