Spring Cutie


This tutorial is for those that have a working knowledge of PSP. This tutorial was written by me on December 21, 2015 and any resemblance is purely coincidental. I use PSP 9, but any version should work. I do not allow my tutorials to be translated and please do not claim them as your own.

9. Open your tube of choice and paste as a new layer and place to your liking
10. Once satisfied add a drop shadow of your choosing ( I use 0,0,100,2 black)
11. Open RDspringgarden_element  (124).png and rotate by 90% to the right
12. Move to the left side of our frame and place to your liking
13. Send this layer to the bottom and make sure you still like the placement

23. Place under the tube layer and above the fence layer
24. If you would like duplicate the layer and move over so that the grass goes all the way across
25. Now at this time add any other elements you would like to add to make the tag your own

So Much...

I have been MIA in so many of my groups and CT's and it has been kind of bumming me out that I haven't been as creative as I normally am. I have been having so many flare ups due to my lupus and my fibro that I've just been so out of the loop... I just wish I could make my pain go away because I miss my online escape..I NEED MY ONLINE ESCAPE as real life is complete chaos at times. I am really hoping that I can find my MOJO again.... Just need a few lil' prayers sent my way- If ya have time...

Hugs,

Carmin
