I've had this temp for a pretty long time. So not sure if it's still available or not.

Open temp and Control D to duplicate the image

Change the canvas size to 900 x 900, I like to have a lot of extra room and will re-size later

Now we are going to be deleting a lot from the temp.

Let's delete the following layer: Text background; Text; Snowflakes & Copyright

Activate Rectangle Frame Red

Change Foreground to #b60708 and Background to #e6e6e6

Create Gradient using the following number



Insert a new layer and flood fill it with gradient you just created

Now delete the Rectangle Frame Red layer

Delete BG Text. There are a couple of ways to create text fills, however my plugins don't work so I made it the old fashion way.

Replace the Naughty n Nice word fill with the Pepper Winter one below


Right click and save this image

Merge layer down so it gets the soft light look

***Remember to save often***

Open paper 6

Activate Right Frame layer, copy and paste Paper 6, invert and delete

Delete Original Right frame layer and merge the new layer to the old layer

Now repeat with Left Frame layer

Open tube of choice.

Copy and paste as a new layer

I re-sized by 75% to get the girl a little smaller.

Activate Right Frame

Copy and paste tube; invert and delete

Change blend mode to screen

Repeat with Left frame, you will have to flip the tube

***Remember to save often***

Now time to add elements of choice

Open element 40

Activate Raster Layer 1 (the one below the pixel text)

Copy and paste as a new layer, invert and delete

Open Element 13, re-size by 50%

Copy and paste as a new layer, use my tag for placement

Open element 15, re-size by 25%

Copy and paste as a new layer, use my tag for placement

Open element 31, re-size by 50%

Copy and paste as a new layer, use my tag for placement

***Remember to save often***

Crop the image around tag. Make sure it's not longer than 650 on the longest side

Now add your copyright

Add anything else you would like

Save image as a png file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This tut was written on January 27, 2013
