Fall Beauty

Kit used was Fall Fae made by JTs Designs.

It is available from SCRAPPETIZING.

I am also using the beautiful artwork of Jennifer Janesko.

In order to use the image in this tutorial you MUST purchase it from CILM. 

I used Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow 
on the text but that is optional.
 

Open new image 650 x 650 transparent.

Open wreath 2 copy and paste as a new layer.

With your magic wand, click inside the wreath. 

Modify, expand by 20.

Paste paper 11 as a new layer below the wreath, 

Invert selection and delete

so the paper is just inside the wreath.

Add a drop shadow to the wreath. I used V6/H6/Opacity 30/Blur10

and then repeated with V-6/H-6.

Copy your tube of choice and paste as a 

new layer above your wreath layer.

Duplicate the tube and drag the duplicate below the wreath layer.

Select the top tube layer and erase the areas you 

dont want under and outside the wreath.

Then select the duplicated layer and remove 

anything visible outside the wreath.

Add a drop shadow to the bottom tube layer only.

Open swirl 2 and resize 75% twice. 

Paste as a new layer beneath your wreath layer

and position as desired. 

Add a drop shadow (I used V2/H2/Opacity 40/Blur4)

duplicate layer and mirror, merge the 2 swirl layers together and then

erase any parts of the swirl showing outside the wreath.

Open Wrap 1, resize 75% twice, add a drop shadow and then erase the edges so the wrap stops at the edge of the wreath. 

I found it easiest with the eraser set very large to soften the edges.

Add any other elements of your choosing.

Add your text with a drop shadow or do what i did and use Eye Candy 4000 gradient glow, making a gradient using colors from the tag. Add your copyright info and watermark, save a a PNG and you're done.
