In this Photoshop tutorial I used the artwork of Elena Dudina available for purchase at CDO

Anyone wishing to use the same image in their own personal creation

MUST have the proper license for that image

These mini-kits below are from the November Rain Passion 4 Scrapz Blog Train

1. FTU Kit by Savage Dezines called November Rain

Optional Texture HERE

& 2. Mini-Kit by Miggins

called November Rain

Font Agile Script Calligraphy

Note: No dropshadows were applied to any of the elements

Open kit 1 - element 9, resize 75%

Enlarge - Canvas size 750 x 677 px

We will resize later 

Open Kit 1 -element 12 - 20%

C/P bottom left of image

Kit 2 - element 11 - resize 50% C/P

Kit 1 - element 8 - 50% C/P

kit 1 - element 4 - resize 70% C/P; arrange - send to bottom layer

Use pick tool/deformation tool to resize further if needed

Open Kit 2 - element 1 C/P below

wordart/cluster element & arrange

Open tube of choice - resize 65%

C/P, duplicate - change blend mode to 'Screen'

leave original tube as normal

Open Kit 2 - element 10 resize 15%

C/P above wordart cluster

within small green circle

Select 'Screen' layer of copy of tube

create 'New' adjustment layer - Hue & Saturation

Change sliders to Hue +12, Saturation - 38, Lightness +5

This layer saturates the tube to match the elements in the tag

Merge 4 bottommost layers

(tree, green flower, yellow tagback & brush)

If you used a white background, close background before merging

Select screen layer of copy of tube

I added a pattern to give the tube & elements texture

& a softened variance to the overall image

Open pattern supplied, C/P

use deformation tool to cover entire

area of tag or duplicate pattern instead

change blend mode of pattern to 'overlay'

back to merged layers

use magic wand to select area 'outside' of the merged layer

return to pattern layer and press delete on keyboard

Deselect

*Be sure this pattern layer is below the Hue/Saturation layer*

On the pattern layer, use the eraser tool sz 150, hardness 50

erase any part of the pattern you do not wish to show through

eg. yellow area - on right side of tube

Add copyright, license & url of image

Add Name

Merge visible, crop 'merged opaque'

& save as a PNG

Hope you are having a great day!
