Wiccan Rose

This Tutorial was written by me, Angel Flower, from my own ideas. Any similarities to others is coincedence. All my tutorials are registered with TWI.

For this tutorial you will need a tube of choice. I am using the work of Jessica Galbreth. You must purchase a license from CILM, www.cilm.com, to use here work.

Scrapkit. I am using a PTU kit called Antique Rose by Melisa from Poisoned Princess.
You can purchase the kit here www.poisonedprincess.com.

New Image-600x600-transparent.

Choose one of your papers for a background. Copy and paste it onto your canvas as a new layer. Resize if needed by going to image-resize-and change the percent to about 85. You can adjust this as needed. Make sure all layers is unchecked. You can use this method to resize anytime something is too big.

Paste a frame as a new layer and resize.

Choose a paper for the inside of your frame. Paste it as a new layer and resize it. Move this layer below your frame layer.

Make your frame layer active and grab your magic wand with these settings-mode add-match mode rgb- Tolerance 20- feather 0. Click in the center of your frame.
Go to Selections-modify-expand by 5. Now go to selections invert. Make the paper that we chose for the frame active. Hit delete. Select none.

Give your frame layer a drop shadow of choice.

Paste your tube as a new layer. Resize as needed. Move this below the frame layer but above the paper for the frame. Position so the part you want shows through the frame.

Make your frame layer active and grab your magic wand with the same settings as before. Click in the center of the frame. Go to selections-modify -expand by 5. Go to selections invert.
Make your tube layer active and hit delete. Select none. Now the only part of your tube left should be what shows through the frame.
Give it a drop shadow.

Hide your two background layers, the paper and the blank layer, and then go to layers-merge-visible. Unhide the two background layers.

Make the background paper layer active. Paste some flowers, or a cluster of flowers, around the top corner of your frame. If using seperate flowers, merge them together into one layer when you are happy with them. Now duplicate the flowers layer and go to image-mirror. Merge these two layers together by making the top one active and go layers-merge-down. Duplicate this layer and go to image flip. You should now have two cluster layers of flowers, one around the top of the frame and one around the bottom. See my tag for reference.

Now choose a different flower. Paste as a new layer. Resize if needed. Position on one side of the frame in the center . Again duplicate and go image mirror. Now you have one on each side in the center.
Duplicate one of these flowers and position at the top of the frame in the center. Duplicate and go image flip. So now you should have a total of four, one on each side of the frame.

Give the last four flowers we did a drop shadow.

Paste a rose as a new layer. Move this layer above the frame layer. Resize as needed. Position to one side of the frame. See my tag for reference. Duplicate the rose. Go to image-mirror, and then image-flip. Position as you like or see my tag again for how it should look.

Now paste a tear drop or gem as a new layer and repeat the same steps we just used for the rose.

Now is the time to resize your whole tag if you think it is too big. Go to image-resize-choose your percentage and make sure all layers is checked this time.

Add your copyright info so it is clearly legible.

Add your name in a font of choice. I used niagara engraved. Give it a drop shadow.

Thats it you are done.
