For this tutorial you will need:
*Tube, i am using the work of Miss Woolcott, To use her images you must purchase a licence from AMI
* Express Yourself Kit made by Ronna Penna (it be a freebie!)
*Font (I used Confection) and Mask (If you made this please let me know)

 

Open a new image 500x500 and fill it white. Open up the mask called blackwidow

Open up a paper from the kit, I used background 1, resize it to 15% then copy and paste it as a new layer over your white background.

Click Layers and New Mask Layer, then clickFrom image, find the backwidow mask in the drop down and tick the invert mask data box. Click ok.

Now on the layer palette right click on the mask, right click and delete, click yes when the popup box comes up.

Now set your forground colour to #846349 and background null.

Use your circle tool and set the line width to 4, set the line style to dot.

Draw a circle now (see my tag for sizing). Dont convert to a raster layer yet. Click objects align and then center in canvas. Duplicate the circle layer, then convert one to a layer, the other, click the little plus sign at the side of its name in the layer palette, when it expands it should look like this:

Double click where it says New Ellipse and the properties box should open, change the line style to solid. Click ok, Dont convert to a layer.

Now choose another paper from the kit, resize to 15% and paste as a new layer.

Move it below both circle layers. Make the solid circle layer active and click inside with your magic wand, click selections and expand by 2, click selections invert, click on the papaer layer and hit delete, then selections and select none.

You should have this:

Ok now copy and paste your tube as a new layer and bring it to the top, size and position to suit you. Duplicate it then move the copy underneith the circle layers.

Make the solid circle active again and click inside with your magic wand, click selections and expand by 2, click selections invert, click on the bottom tube layer and hit delete, then selections and select none.

Click back on the top tube layer, use the eraser brush and erase and bits you dont want hanging over the circle.

Next I added ribbon 2 and repeated the duplicating, selecting and deleting we did on the tube layers.

Hide the solid circle layer now.

Add a couple of flowers from the kit, i used flower 4 and 5 resized to about 30%, position to your liking.

Add your name and copyright, i kept the solid circle so i could add the copyright on a curve, then deleted it.

Save as a png and your doned!
