Spring in Pastels FTU

Spring in Pastels

I used the wonderful poser called Josie by Designs by Norella which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase her tubes from PicsForDesign which can now be found here
I am using a scrapkit called Pastel Explosion by Scraps by Pam which is FTU and can be found here
Mask of Choice 
Font of Choice
Plugin Used Xero Porcelain
The tut was written in Paint Shop Pro X4 but should work in others.

Note When I resize I use these settings: (make sure that pixel dimensions is on percent and in advanced setting it is smart size lock aspect ratio is checked and resize all layers is unchecked) also please save often and for placement on the tag you can always refer to the example tag if that helps.

Let's get started!!


Open a new image 800 X 800 pixels with a transparent background.  You can resize later to meet your needs.
Copy & paste paper 5 from the scrapkit onto your new image resize by 144%  and apply your mask of choice. (Click layers, load save mask, make sure fit to canvas, source luminance and hide all mask is checked then click load) In layers right click on mask hit delete and answer yes to the popup. Now right click on group layer merge merge group.
Open flower1 and copy & paste to your image duplicate x1 and move 1 to the top of your mask slightly to the left of the middle and 1 slightly to the right of the middle
Open  flower4 and copy & paste to your image and place it at the top of your mask between the blue flowers
Open heart3 and copy & paste to your image and place next to the right blue flower covering most of half of the flower
Open  heart1 and copy & paste to your image and place over the top of heart3
