I'll have a couple of times to brush -----> packed in a zip file \u0026lt;-----,

which I myself have created and the Tut use - it sure other brush, you can try out their own

first Open a new canvas with 600x450px

with a color of your choice

or a background pattern

second and equal to a new level, you

"Holz1» Designating

third male with the "Baum2" Brush and

the settings in the screenshot as a branch

4th again create a new layer "Holz2»

and paint with the brush "Baum3" and "Baum4»

in various shades of brown along the road

5th now take a selection from the alpha channel at the level of "Holz1" - invert

selection and remove the plane, "Holz2»

6. Now is your branch and completed

you can combine the two levels

7th and all times from the same store as xcf,

if you have not already done so should ...

8th Now we come to the needles - create a new layer and paint

with a shade of green needles

example, a series with the normal round brush, you can also

times from the other brush

. Zip through the sample,

maybe you like this reflects ...

9th new level - Other green - more needles

10th Sun paint a few levels

11th move them in the order as you like

12th Save

13th Now double the timber level and move them to the top

14th in this top-level timber:

Alpha to Selection - Invert selection

-

Hide Selection (5 is usually enough)

and "Delete" so that now shine through the approaches of the needles slightly

15th if you like it you can save it

16th unite all the branch levels with each

17th Now you can have a ball or a star or whatever

dranhängen

- do you find in the GIMP Workshop some tutorials

18th create a new layer

19th Select all - Select the edge with 10 - 20 px

depending on how wide you want to have him

20th a gold-or silver-texture fill

(there are some who in the zip)

21st Filter - Home Decor - Bevel edge - no selection

22nd Shadow

23rd the same shadows and give your branch and your decoration

24th create your text

- Alpha to Selection and

also fill with the pattern, such as the edge

25th a shadow type

26th if you want to print the map

are you done here and they can save and print

if you want to animate it even more then click here:

27th make the plane "edge" and the plain "text" invisible

go and then "Merge Visible Layers"

28th Now the two gold layers visible again and make

unite

29th this now 4 times double

30th the lower boundary level remains as it is

31st where edge-copy source and the filter - noise - to scatter

32nd at the edge of copy # 1, too, but with 30

at the edge of copy # 2 also, but with 60

at the edge COPY # 3 also, but with 90 33rd

Now the background layer will double 4 times

and move always a background under an edge-copy

34th now always unite the Edge Level

with the underlying background level

so you only have 5 levels

35th these levels to be designated as the Screen

(which makes you like the next step)

36th now doubles each level and move up the double

- watch as the order - they must be exact

other way around, as the "original"

37th so now I double the highest level without delay or 4 times

(since then I have to change in the length of the animation nothing more)

38th All in gif - animation store

I hope this tutorial has made you a little fun and it shows me your results.
