Have you downloaded the new FREE Wild Sorbet kit by Michelle Coleman? If not, you can download it here. I’ve had so much fun playing with this kit because the beautiful, bright colors remind me of spring, which I hope will be here in a month … or two … or possibly three, since I do live in Ohio.
 
I kept things pretty simple because I didn’t want to take away from the gorgeous background paper. I also wanted to showcase my sister’s pictures without a lot of distraction.
 
I created the white flowers and notebook paper in Photoshop Elements using parts of the Wild Sorbet kit. See below for how-to instructions.
 
White Flowers:

1. To create the white flowers, open the background paper and use your magic wand tool to select one of the flowers. 
2. Hit the move button and move the flower onto the layout as a separate layer.
3. Select the layer and go to Enhance>Adjust color>Adjust hue saturation. 
4. Hit the colorize button and take away the color making the flower white. 
5. To make the flower stand out, I duplicated the flower bud layer so it appeared heavier on the page.
6. Use a thin brush to draw the lines of the stems.
   

 
Notebook paper:

1. Open a coordinating background paper from the kit.
2. Choose a small section and move it onto the layout as a new layer. 
3. Select the eraser tool and choose the block eraser. 
4. Erase blocks on the paper in a straight line down the edge. 
5. Make the block eraser brush smaller and erase a line from the edge of the paper to the erased hole to make it look like notebook paper has been torn from a pad of paper.
