I Love Snow

.

My tutorial require a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro!

Supplies Needed:

*Paint Shop Pro

*font of choice

*Tag Template #104 from Designs by Ali

*"Snow Princess" PTU kit by Tammys Scraps

*Tube of choice. I am using the adorable artwork of Moshilove from MPT. This tube was part of the Christmas gift tubes that were sent to those with a valid MPT license. I do not know if it will be available for purchase in their store.

Let's Begin--

Open template in PSP. Shift+D to duplicate. Close the original.

Add a new raster layer, drag it to the very bottom, flood fill it with white.

Open a paper of choice from the kit. Click the large heart layer of the template. Selections-Select All, Float, Defloat, copy and paste the paper onto your canvas, Selections-Invert, hit delete key. Add a white gradient glow if you want. Delete the original large heart layer from the template.

Open your tube of choice. Copy and paste it onto your canvas and place it in the center of the large heart. Add a drop shadow.

Open the Christmas tree clip art from the kit, resize as needed, copy and paste into your canvas, position to the left side of your tube, add drop shadow.

Click on the large snowflake layer. Selections-Select All, Float, Defloat, add a new raster layer, flood fill with a dark color from the kit, Selections-Select None. Delete original large snowflake layer from the template. Add a drop shadow.

Click on the "I Love Snow" text layer. Selections-Select All, Float, Defloat, add a new raster layer, flood fill with the same color, selections-select none. Delete the original "I love snow" layer. Add a gradient glow if you wish and a drop shadow to the "I Love Snow" text.

Open the stocking from the kit. Copy and paste it onto your canvas, resize as needed, add drop shadow. Move it up so that the loop part is on top of the "w" from the text and then take your eraser tool and eras a very small portion to make it look like the stocking is hanging off the "w".

Open the candy canes, copy and paste them onto your canvas, resize them, and place them behind the stocking but leave some sticking out so that they appear to be inside of the stocking. Add drop shadow.

Add name and copyright information. Crop and resize if needed.
