SUPPLIES
I am using a scrap kit from Fantasy Moments called Autumn and you can find it here. The tube I am using is from Hellonlegs and her deviant art site ishere. I am using a mask(#143) from WeeScottLass and you can find her site here. The autumn background you can find at any free photo site. The font I used is called Shardee and you can find it at daFont.com.
PLUGINS
Xerox Porcelain
Ok, let's get started. I am assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP. Save your work often so you don't get disappointed.
Open a New Image 700 x 700. You can resize later. Start by using your Preset Shape Tool with width line 15 and a straight line. On your Layers palette x out the Background so you are just using the foreground. Draw a black circle on your working copy. The size depends on your own preference. Once you have it drawn go to Align>Objects Align>Center In Canvas. This puts it right in the middle. Select None. Now take your Magic Wand and select inside your black circle. Now you can either floodfill this with a color of choice or do what I did. I chose a paper from the kit #14. Copy & Paste then hit the Invert selection. Once it is inverted then hit your delete key. You can then apply a slight drop shadow. Now take your Magic Wand and select inside the circle. Go to Selections>Modify>Expand by 3. You can now either paste an autumn picture or a paper from the kit. Then go to Selections>Invert>Delete. Move this layer below the frame. Select none.
Now add your tube with a slight drop shadow.
We are now ready to add the elements. As always you can add any elements you wish or follow what I did. First take element #41, resize and paste to your working copy. See my tag for placement. Then take element #40, resize and paste to your working copy. Place next to the first flower. Now duplicate the first flower and move it so it is on the other side of the white flower. Next go to Layers>Merge>Merge Down until all three flowers are one layer. Then go to Effects>Xero>Porcelain and use the default setting. Now take element #46, resize and paste to your working copy next to the flowers. Apply Porcelain to this as well. Next take element #32, resize it and paste it behind your tube at the top on the right side of your frame. Then take element #47, resize it and place it about middle of the grape cluster. To finish that off take element #6, resize it and place it just at the top of the Fall sign. Now take element #36, resize and paste this to the right and just under your frame. Duplicate this and using your deform tool move the second copy away from the first. Then duplicate again and using the deform tool once again move this away a little from the others.
Now go to the bottom layer and copy & paste a paper of choice from the kit. I used paper #9. Apply your mask and hit delete. Add your copyright info and resize your tag.
You can now add your name and you are done. Save as a .gif.
Thank you for trying my tutorial.
