FTU La Bella Vita

Any similarity to any other tutorial or tag is co incidental.

Please read my tutorial basics (located top left sidebar) before you begin.

Supplies Needed

Ftu Scrap kit ' Bellissimo Vita' by Elli's Creations  HERE

Tube of choice.

I have used 'Nicole' by Toriya at  ScrapsNCompany

Font Used - Matchbox

Filters Used
Xero - Simplicity
Mura's Meister - Copies

Open a new image 700x700.

From kit, copy/paste element 36 Window in the centre of canvas and resize to 65%.

Behind this layer C/paste and position Element 35 Masked Image. Resize to 55%. Duplicate layer and merge down. Go back to Window layer, D/shadow and merge down.

C/paste Element 15 Flower. Resize to 50%. Apply Mura's Meister - Copies - Encircle. Settings below.

Position behind Window layer. Slightly off centre to the left of canvas. Refer to my Image as a guide. Duplicate and Mirror copy to the right. Merge these 2 layers and apply Xero - Simplicity. Settings below.

C/paste Element 4 Column. Resize to 50%. Position on the left of canvas above Encircle layer behind Window layer. Duplicate and mirror copy to right. Again refer to my image. Merge both Column layers. D/shadow.

 C/paste, position and d/shadow your chosen tube.

Continue to add desired elements from kit to build up your tag. D/shadow as you go.

I used...

62 Branches. Resized to 40%. Position left above Column, behind Window. Duplicate and Mirror copy to right.

8 Jug. Resized to 30%. Bottom Left. Above Window layer. Behind tube.

22 Herb Pot. Resized to 30%. Image - Mirror. Bottom left above Jug behind tube.

58 Cat. Resized to 25%. Image - Mirror. Bottom left above Herb Pot, behind tube layer.

32 Butterfly. Resized to 40%. Position on left above Branches.

3 Grapes. Resized to 20%. Bottom right above tube layer.

30 Book. Resized to 40%. Bottom of tag above tube layer.


Merge all layers. Crop to your liking. I usually sharpen at this point rather than each separate element as I go along. Adjust - Sharpness - Unsharp Mask 5.0 - 30 -5.
Add name and relevant artist copyright and tube licence info.
Save as Png.
