Happy New Year

My tutorials require a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro!

Supplies Needed:

*Paint Shop Pro

*Font of choice

*Alien Skin Impact-Bevel (optional)

*"Kiss Me at Midnight" PTU scrap kit by  DMK Designs which can be purchased from Simply Beautiful Scraps  HERE.

*Tube of choice. I am using the sexy artwork of Keith Garvey which can be purchased from  MPT. Please do not use the same tube unless you have the proper license to do so!

Let's Begin--

Open a 600X600 White Canvas.

Open one of the bracket shaped labels from the kit, copy and paste it onto your canvas. Add a drop shadow.

Open one of the ribbons from the kit. Copy and paste it onto your canvas. Resize it by 70%. Use your selection tool to cut off the ends of the ribbon as close to the middle tag as possible. Use your warp brush to push the ends of the ribbon against the tag to make it appear as if it's wrapped around the tag. Add a drop shadow to the ribbon.

Open one of the cocktail glasses. Copy and paste it onto your canvas. Resize it by 70%. Open the cocktail stick from the kit. Copy and paste it onto your canvas, resize it by 50%, rotate it to the left by 30 degrees, move it onto of the cocktail glass--see my tag as a reference for placement or you can place it where you wish. You can lower the opacity of the cocktail stick slightly so that it appears to be inside the glass.

Open one of the balloons from the kit. Copy and paste it onto your canvas. Resize it by 50%, add a drop shadow, place it to the far left hand side. Add another balloon of a different color in the same way. See my tag for reference or place them how you wish!

Open one of the strings from the kit. Copy and paste it onto your canvas. Resize it by 50%, add a drop shadow, Image-Mirror, place it on the right hand side and move the layer underneath the ribbon layer.

Open one of the barcode tags of choice, copy and paste it onto your canvas, resize it by 50%. Move it on top of the string (like shown in my tag), add a drop shadow. Click on the string layer, duplicate it, move it above the barcode tag layer, and then use your eraser tool to erase most of it except for just the part that needs to look like it's going into the hole of the tag.

Add any text you wish to add. I added "2009" to mine.

Copy and paste your tube of choice onto your canvas kind of in the middle but up against the cocktail glass. Add a drop shadow and resize if needed.

Open one of the confetti's from the kit. Copy and paste it onto your canvas onto of the white background layer. Resize if needed.

Add your name. If you wish, you can add a bevel to your name. I used Alien Skin Impact Bevel with the default settings. Add a drop shadow.

Add your copyright information.

Crop and resize if needed.

Save as jpg!
