Esper, here is my experiment following your instructions; is it ok? thx

yeah, i think it looks really good !

glad you found it useful

Very well explained, Esper many thanks!
Now I can understand what the tools exactly doing.
Thanks for teaching me.
I soon try another one and post the outcome here.

Akros to understand German isn’t a big problem, my native language is Dutch.
However sometimes I have a little problem with some specific “Gimp terminology”,
even so in English.
I don’t know the program well enough at the moment.
Very nice outcome.

Marcello, your result is really fine as well.

@Ella Louise: theres something very special about your work that i cant quite pinpoint...
so many lovely details

very nice composition !
the birds, the fluffy purple background with the clouds and the text on a a wavy path
really really nice !

Thanks for the kind words, Esper.
Everyone has his own style. Glad you like mine

Great result Ella Louise - like it very much.

Ella Louise, you have much talent. I like your outcomes very much.

Thank you for the comments, Dalia, Issabella and Conbagui




First of all I don’t know how to make a tutorial, not as they are shown here.
The greatest problem is that I have to do it in English. It’s not easy to explain the details in another language.
I can post a link to a video tutorial. However there are different ways to make the frame or cut out the selection which has to come out of the border.
I followed the instructions of a few different ones and so combined what’s the most easy way to do it, at least for me .
