Supplies Needed

 

I used PSPX1 but should work in other versions.

A little tip they always have a discount on some kits on a Thursday its pot luck to whether or not it’s the one you want.

 

3 tubes of choice from same artist.

I used the gorjuss work of Suzanne Woolcott

Lets go!

 

When using scrap kits when you resize them you need to resize using smart size and then sharpen by going Adjust Sharpen or the elements get faded and don’t look as good. So when it says resize use this step.

 

Open new canvas 600 x 600 pixels and flood fill white.

 

Open the cardstock frame.

 

Resize/edit/copy paste as new layer on working canvas.

 

Duplicate

Resize again by around 60/70%

With mover tool drag the resized frames so you have one at either side of the bigger frame.

Merge the frames.

Drag to bottom of frame.

 

Repeat the above step with the flower borders for the 2 smaller frames.

 

Open the word art and elements.

Resize/copy/paste as new layers using my tag for reference for placement.
