Dark Wonderland

This tutorial was written by me on September 10 using PSP X4.  All my tutorials assume you have some working knowledge of PSP and/or Animation Shop.

Supplies:

Tube(s) of choice - I'm using a great image from Deanna Davoli.  You must have a license to use her art and you can purchase tubes/license at Artistic Dreams Imaging.

Scrap Kit - I'm using a wonderfully wicked kit from Irish Bitch Designs.  Visit her blog HERE to find out where to purchase this great kit.

Mask - I'm using WSL Mask 302 from Weescotslass Creations.  You can download this mask HERE.

Eye Candy 5 Impact Gradient Glow

Font - Alice In Wonderland

To begin open your tube and mask in PSP - minimize - Open a new 700 x 700 image white background

1.  Copy/paste Vortex as new layer - center in canvas - copy/paste Mushroom 2 as new layer - resize by 85% - move up just a bit towards the top of vortex - drop shadow heavy: I went with 4,4,85,6 black

2.  Copy/paste Swirl as new layer - position on the left side of Vortex - duplicate - image - mirror - using your eraser tool erase parts of the Swirl to make it appear that they twine through the mushrooms - drop shadow

3.  Copy/paste your tube as a new layer - resize if needed - position on tag and duplicate

4.  Click on original tube layer - copy/paste Vines as new layer - resize 50% - position on left side of tag - duplicate - image - mirror - using eraser tool - on your top tube layer erase the elbow on the left side of tube - drop shadow bottom tube layer and vine layers

5.  Copy/paste Mushroom as new layer - resize 50% twice - position on left side of tag - drop shadow

6.  Copy/paste Books and Cake as new layer - resize and position on bottom right of tag - drop shadow both layers

7.  On white background - selections - select all - copy/paste paper of choice INTO selection - selections - select none - layers - new mask layer - from image - apply mask, delete original layer - merge group

8.  Close out white background - crop/resize tag, add copyright/license info and name - save as .png
