Tube: I am using one from Danny Lee, you can find this tube here

Scrapkit: Hot Drink by Design by Joan, you can find this kit here

My supplies: Frame template, here (you can always use another one

Eye Candy 5 – Impact – Bevel

I purchased both the tube and kit a long time ago, then my computer went nuts and I lost both. I finally got them back and thought I better do something with them NOW! The kit and tube both are named “Hot Drink” in case you can’t find it.

Open a new image 700 x 700. Add a new layer and flood fill with white, copy and paste the frame template as a new layer. Go to Selections – Select All – Float – Defloat. Copy and paste a paper of choice above the frame. Hit delete on the key board. Apply a drop shadow.

(you can apply a bevel to the frame if you like) I used these setting for mine:

Eye Candy 5 Impact Bevel

Bevel Width: 39

Bevel Height: 20

Smoothness: 78

Bevel Placement: Inside Selection

Shade Interior: Checked

Bevel Profile: Button

Copy and paste a paper of choice below the frame, select the frame layer, using the Magic Wand click on the outside of the frame. Go to Selections – Modify – Expand by 5. Select the paper again and hit delete on the keyboard.

Open Elem 55, I resize one by 20% and another by 15%. Copy and paste the larger one as a new layer. Place in front of the pile of snowballs. Apply a drop shadow. Copy and paste the smaller one as a new layer. Leave it for now we will return to it in a bit.

Open Elem 23, resize by 60%. Copy and paste as a new layer. Place beside the tree, position a little off to the right and down a little lower. Apply a drop shadow. Move the smaller gift to the right of the lantern. Apply a drop shadow to the gift if you already haven’t.

Close off these layers: frame, frame background, purple décor, white background, pine wreath, the tube, the bow and bells, both birds, the lantern and small gift. Right click at the top of the tag, copy merged. Paste as a new layer, mirror. Position on the right-hand side on top of the frame. Place this a little higher than the left side. See my tag for reference if needed.

Open all layers you have closed. Reposition the merged layer on the right-hand side if needed. Also, you may need to move the little bird at the bottom to your liking again.

Add any copyrights and your name. Crop, resize if desired. Save as a PNG (close background first).
