On to the Tut!!

* Open up a New Image 700 x 700. You can resize later. Flood fill white.

* Copy and paste paper 10. Layers, load mask from disk. Apply WSL_Mask 84. Layers, merge group. Duplicate, mirror, merge down. Duplicate, flip. Merge the two.

* Copy and Paste Shamrock Frame 4. Using your magic wand, click inside the frame. Modify, expand by 10. Open up paper 11. Move to where you want it. Copy and paste as a new layer. Selections, invert, delete. Drag this layer below your frame. Drop shadow frame. Merge down.

* Copy and paste tube. Resize to your liking. Drop shadow. Adjust sharpness, sharpen.

* Copy and paste elements of choice. DS all. I used:


Shamrock Frame. Place above mask layer.
Bling Diamonds
Shamrock trail on bottom of Shamrock Frame 4
Shamrock Balloons
Shamrocks with coins. Duplicate, mirror. 
St Patrick Heart
Horseshoe 1
                     Shamrock Vine. See my tag for placement.                   

* Add any other elements you wish anywhere along the way.

* Close out the background and mask layers, merge visible. Keep closed. Rezize 96%.

* Effects, plugins, xero, porcelain 50, 80, 128. Ok.

* Adjust sharpness, sharpen.

* Crop if desired.

* Resize all layers checked to 700 x 700 or desired size. I always resize before adding the copyright. It makes the copyright clearer.

* Add your name, copyright info.,  proper license # (if needed), and watermark.

* Merge visible and save as PNG file.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial.
