In Bloom

Supplies needed

Tube of choice
Font of choice (I used Autumn)
Scrap kit I used - Blue Lavender - purchased here
I used the wonderful art of Elias Chatzoudis.

You must purchase a licence to use his art, which can be done here

Lets begin!

1. Open a new canvas 600x600 and fill white.

2. Copy and paste one of the large flowers over as a new layer, add a drop shadow of choice.

3. Open up 4 papers of choice from your scrap kit, select your preset shape tool set to rectangle, line width 8, outer - white , inner - select a paper of choice as your pattern.

4. Draw out a rectangle in the centre of your canvas, convert to raster and add a drop shadow of choice. Copy and paste a ribbon of choice from your kit and resize if necessary. Place it near the bottom of your rectangle and with your selection tool, select the areas outside your rectangle and hit delete on your keyboard.

5. Set your preset shape tool to Circle and change the inner to another paper of choice, draw out a large circle and place to the right slightly, convert to raster and add a drop shadow of choice.

6. Repeat this another 2 times making the circles smaller each time and changing the paper to alternative papers. Place them where you think they look good.

7. Copy and paste a bow of choice as a new layer and place at the top left, add a drop shadow of choice.

8. Copy and paste another flower as a new layer and place in the top right corner, add a drop shadow. Duplicate and place in one of the circles.

9. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, place where you think it looks good, add a drop shadow of choice.

10. Copy and paste the beadclip as a new layer and place over your tube, add a drop shadow. Erase some so it looks like your tube is standing over the beadclip.

11. With a font of choice, write out your name, add a drop shadow of choice. Move this layer down until it is sitting on the ribbon, duplicate and place this one over to the other side of your tag.

12. Add your copyright information and watermark, save as a .jpeg and your all done.
