Letter For My Lover
Supplies needed
Tube of choiceFont of choice (I used Barbara Hand)
Seasonal Sampler - Amore - Scrap kit from shabby princess here
I used the wonderful art of Barbara Jensen. You must purchase a licence to use her art, which can be done here
Lets begin!
1. Open a new canvas 600x600 and fill white.
2. Resize the envelope and letter scrap from your kit down to around 30% and copy and paste as a new layer onto your white canvas, add a drop shadow of choice.
3. Make your white layer active, and with your selection tool, draw out a rectangle behind your envelope, resize your scrap papers of choice down to around 20% (they are very large), copy and paste one as a new layer, selections, invert, hit delete on your keyboard, keep selected. Copy and paste another as a new layer and hit delete on your keyboard again, now deselect.
4. Bottom scrap, image, rotate, free rotate 12 degrees right, top scrap, image, rotate, free rotate, 12 degrees left. add drop shadows to both scraps.
5. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, add a drop shadow and resize if necessary so you can see the wording you will be adding.
6. Resize the ribbon by 20% and copy and paste this over the legs of your tube, delete any overlapping your envelope by using your selection tool, and hitting delete on your keyboard.
7. Copy and paste the small button as a new layer, resize by around 30%, place one to the left, duplicate, and image mirror.
8. Now make your envelope the active layer and click on your text tool. Using a font of choice and a colour from your scraps, write out a little note to your lover ;o) I did mine line by line and converted to raster each time.
9. Make your white layer active again, add a new raster layer and add some brushes of choice using a colour from your scraps.
10. Add your copyright information, watermark and your name in a font of choice, save as a jpeg and your all done.
