Love Me Tender

Pattern of choice
Embelishments of choice
Ribbon Tie by Natalie Braxton purchased here
My supplies here

I used the wonderful art of Keith Garvey. You must purchase a licence to use his art, which can be done here

Lets begin!

1. Open a new image 600x600 and fill with white. Add a new raster layer and fill with a pattern of choice.

2. Copy and paste the swirls as a new layer. Add a drop shadow of choice if you like.

3. Copy and paste the frame as a new layer. Click inside the centre of your frame with your magic wand, selections, modify, expand by 15.

4. Make your pattern fill the active layer, selections, invert, hit delete on your keyboard. Selections, select none.

5. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer and add a drop shadow of choice. Grab your freehand selection tool, hide your tube layer and carefully trace the inside of the frame around the bottom, just enough to get rid of the excess of your tube.

6. Copy and paste your canvas rectangles as new layers, move these layers under your frame layer, place them where you think they look good. Copy and paste the flower tube supplied, place it to the left side, duplicate, image, mirror.

7. Make your frame layer active, copy and paste the name tag and staple as new layers, place them to the bottom right of your frame. add your name to the little name tag.

8. Add embelishments of choice, I used a ribbon tie from the lily pad.

9. Add your copyright information, watermark and name, save as a jpg and your all done.
