This tutorial was written entirely by me, using PSP9, any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.

This tutorial should work with any version of PSP.

This tutorial is written with the belief that you have a working knowledge of PSP, but is also suitable for beginners.

Materials you will need:

Scrap Kit of choice, I used Soft Winter by CBJ Scraps.

Tube of choice, I used the art of ©Zindy S.D.Nielsen which requires a license which may be purchased at Zindy Zone.

Mask of choice, I used HorsePlay's Pasture Mask1, and you may get it here.

Font of choice, I used Corabael.

Let's begin.

Open a new image, 750x750

Choose a paper from your kit, I used paper2. Apply your mask and merge the group.

Next place your tube add a drop shadow, duplicate and apply the same mask and merge the group. Use your erase tool to soften any hard edges.

Use the erase tool on the original layer hard edges too, to help blend.

You may colorize both tube layers as desired adjusting the saturation to a tone desired.

Now place a frame I used a snow frame, behind both tube layers and add your drop shadow, and a gradient glow in diffuse on settings that suit you.

Next copy and paste the sow element and add the same mask used before.

Using the flake fall element re-sized 70 then re-sized 90. Duplicate this layer, flip and position as desired around your tube.

Next using the flower element (Flws1) add a drop shadow and duplicate. Place one layer below the tube layer and erase any bits on the layer above the tubes.

Place a ribbon layer re-sized as desired paste between each of the flower layers and add your drop shadow and duplicate.

Move the duplicate layer above the top flower layer and use the erase tool to "intertwine" with the flowers.

Go back to the un-erased flower layer and duplicate again then using the rotate tool rotate to the right by 90.

Using a different ribbon element, place beneath the rotated flower layer, add a drop shadow, and a gradient glow.

Duplicate this ribbon and move above the rotated flower layer, then using the erase tool "intertwine" the ribbon with the flowers.

Using the stick element place above the original flower layer and position as desired.

Pick a bird element and re-size by 50 and place among the ribbons and flowers, then add a drop shadow.

Duplicate the bird layer and mirror then re-size by 95. Place among the flowers and ribbons as well.

Re-size, add your copyright, and your name.
