Bright As Spring

"Bright As Spring"

What you need:
Tube of choice, I used artwork by Elias Chatzoudis
Font of choice, I used Send Flowers
Graphic Program of choice, I use PSPX2

Let's Begin!

1. Open a new transparent image
Open all of your supplies

2. Open your first paper of choice, that you'd like to use as a frame
Using your selection tool>eclipse, trace out an egg-like shape on the paper
Promote background layer and crop to selection
Using that same selection tool, trace out a circle-like shape toward the center of the eclipse shape. Keep it off center just a bit. Cut the selection.
Open a new transparent image and flood fill white
C/P the frame image as a new selection
Go to selection>expand>4
Crop to selection
C/P the frame to your original transparent image
Add drop shadow
Open a second paper of choice for the back drop
Using selection>circle, trace out a medium size circle
Promote background layer and crop to selection
Repeat the flood-fill steps above to create a white border
C/P behind the frame layer and move to an off-center position
Add drop shadow

3. C/P the tube of choice above all layers
Trim as needed
Add drop shadow
C/P the green leaves from the kit behind all layers
Duplicate and drag one layer of leaves above the circle back-drop layer
Add drop shadows
C/P the sun from the kit behind all layers
Duplicate and drag to the opposite side of the tag

Add name and copyright info and your done!
