this is my first tut so please be nice and don't steal.

i used the strawberriesNcream scrapkit by kia.

yvette template # 23 http://essenceofcreativity.wordpress.com

font is Allegro [google it cause i forgot where i got it lol]

art by © Popeye Wong he's an FTU artist.

free plugin Xero

load the temp press sift+ D and delete the original

delete the © layer

hide the background layer if you like transparent tags like me.

load paper 3 into the temp

use the magic wand tool on the flower layer then invert it highlight paper 3 press delete

press select none & the paper & flower layers

then adjust_add noise_gaussian 27% monochrome checked

load paper 2 into the temp 

use magic wand on circle 1 layer just like you did previously

merge paper & circle 1 layers

effects_xero_duochrome

use default settings

then use ellipse tool 

set it to circle

width 4

get it to the same size as circle 1 layer

BG_null

foreground color from the paper

add noise settings as before but change the % to 100

& merge it to circle 1

now choose paper 5

[yes another paper ;D]

put it onto circle 2 magic wand it like before

yada, yada, yada

merge

xero_mistifier

settings 255 all the way down baby

use luminance so that it looks dark & doesn't stand out

choose a sweet tube

i used PW's orange juice tube

paste it onto circle 2

erase the parts that stand outside the circle

xero_radiance

twice [default settings]

then use luminance [or legacy] on the tube

now paste the same tube again

resize 60%

& move around the temp any which way that you want to

i put her the way she is cause she hugs the circle perfectly.

insert the lollipop behind her and resize about 40%

add credits

drop shadow your heart out

the shadow i used around the girl and the lolli [both merged i forgot to add. lol]

vertical&horizontal 0,

blur 2,

opacity 100,

black

i did it until there was a border all the way around.

i hope you like my first tut.

i'm super nervous.

i should have made a better tag, but oh well.
