"Dazzle"

Things you will need:

Tube of choice, I am using the amazing artwork by Suzanne Woolcott

Font of choice

Graphic Program of Choice, I am using PSPX2

Let's begin:

1. Open a new image, 600x600 transparent. If you do not wish to keep it transparent,

flood fill it with the color of choice now.

Open all of your needed supplies.

2. Choose a paper of choice, and apply a mask to that layer.

Re-size as needed and copy/paste as a new layer.

Copy and paste the frame of choice.

Now over to the right, where your layer menu is, Create a new

Raster Layer BELOW the frame.

Click on the Lasso tool, and have it set to point-to-point.

0=feathering

0= Smoothing

Using the lasso tool trace along the frame, and then right click when finished to create the

"Marching Ants".

Choosing a second paper, and with the empty layer BEHIND the frame selected,

Copy/paste the paper INSIDE the selection.

3. Copy and paste the tube of choice over the frame, trimming any hang-overs from the tube.

4. Copy/paste the leaf cluster as a new layer BEHIND the frame/paper layers.

No drop-shadow needed.

5. Add any other elements, word-art, etc and merge all layers VISIBLE.

6. Add any copyright info as need, name, and you are done!
