Travelin' On

.


[Click image above to go to full sized image.]


This tutorial was written on January 24, 2009, using Paint Shop Pro, version X.03. It should be okay to do with other versions as well. I just find X.03 more comfortable for me. You may download a free trial of Paint Shop Pro, version X2, from Corel.

You will also need:

Tube of your choice. I've chosen to use the great artwork of Keith Garvey. You must have a license to use his work. You may purchase that license at My PSP Tubes.

PTU Scrap kit by Heza, called "Peppermint Twist." Also, I used elements from the freebie add-on kit that is offered with the PTU at Terminally Unique Designs.

Only filter used is Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow -- for the name, purely optional.

Font: I used Inscription LET Plain 1.0

Ready? Let's do it!

Open a new image, 700 x 700 white.

In your add-on kit, open Bracket Mat 3. Resize by 85%, all layers UNchecked. Copy and paste to your canvas.

In your add-on kit, open Bracket Mat 1. Resize by 85%, all layers UNchecked. Resize again by 80%, all layers UNchecked. Copy and paste over your first mat on your canvas. Drop shadow this second mat.

In your main kit, open Flower 8. Resize by 75%. Copy and paste over both your mats on your canvas. Drop shadow your flower.

In your main kit, open Bow 2. Resize by 50%, then resize again by 65%. Copy and paste in the upper left corner of your mats. Duplicate. Image > Mirror. Merge down. Duplicate. Image > Flip. Position to your liking. Merge all bows down. Drop shadow bows. Bring the bow layer below the flower layer.

Click on your background (white) layer. Go to your main kit and open Paper 2. Copy and paste to your canvas.

Click on your Bracket Mat 3 layer (the green mat).

Selections > Select All > Float > Defloat > Modify > Feather 17 > Invert

Click on Paper 2 layer. Delete. Selections > Select None.

Adjust > Blur > Gaussian Blur 20. Resize this layer by 105%.

Add your tube of choice. Drop shadow. You may also drop shadow your green bracket mat now, too.

Add your name, copyright, license if applicable, tagger's mark and watermark if you have one.

Resize.

Save your work! You're done! I hope you've enjoyed this quickie tut!! Leave me some love, please!!

Have a great day!
