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!
