Irish Eyes Tutorial

I used the awesome kit Irish Gold from Digicats (and Dogs)

You can get it HERE 

 and for one week its totally free!!!!

After that it will be available as a PTU kit in the store

I also used the awesome artwork of Walter Girotto

You need a license to use his artwork from MPT

 

Ok lets gets started!

Open DCD_IG_Frame01

Select inside the frame and expand selection by 10.

Add a new layer beneath the frame layer

Using a paper of choice (I used paper 11)

copy and paste it into the selection.

Add a drop shadow to the frame on its own layer.

I used 4,4,60,12 and repeated -4,-4,60, 12.

Deselect

Paste your tube as a new layer above the paper, 

resizing if needed. Select inside the frame again,

expand by 10, invert, and delete any

parts of the tube ouside of the frame.

Add drop shadow of choice.

Open DCD_IG_hanging shamrocks

paste as a new layer, resize 50% position and add shadow,

erase anything showing outside of the frame.

Increase canvas size to 1000x1000, we can crop it later.

Add elements of your choice resizing as needed and

dont forget your drop shadows as you go.

I used these elements:

DCD_IG_Horse

DCD_IG_Harp

DCD_IG_Pot O Gold 01

DCD_IG_Journal

DCD_IG_Rainbow03

DCD_IG_Butterfly05

Add your text of choice. I typed 'Irish Eyes' using

DJLuck and positioned above the rainbow layer

but below the horse.
