Love, Brandi

My tutorials require a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro!

Supplies Needed:

*Paint Shop Pro

*Font of choice

*Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow and Glass

*Template #85 by Ali HERE

*"Ravishing Raspberry" PTU kit by DMK Designs available for purchase at Simply Beautiful Scraps HERE or the other stores listed on her blog. Visit her blog HERE.

*3 Tubes of choice. I used the awesome artwork of Ismael Rac which is available for purchase from AMI. Please do not use the same tube unless you have the license to do so!

**Note** All of my Ismael Rac tubes were purchased from MPT so they have an MPT license on the tag. I have not purchased any tubes of his from AMI yet so I do not have a license to exchange.

Let's Begin--

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

Go to Image-Canvas Size, and change the numbers to 700 X 550.

Delete the top credits layer.

Click on the cloud look layer in the back. Selections-Select All, Float, Defloat, copy and paste a paper of choice from the kit, Selections-Invert, hit delete key. Selections-Select None. Delete the original template layer. Add a fat gradient glow to the shape if you wish and a drop shadow.

Repeat these steps for the 2 heart shapes. I used the same paper for both. Add gradient glow and drop shadow to those as well.

Set your foreground color to a color from the kit. Click on one of the black hearts layers, Selections-Select All, Float, Defloat, add a new raster layer and flood fill with your foreground color, Selections-Select None, delete original template layer. Go to Effects-Plug Ins-Eye Candy 4000-Glass and apply default settings except change the glass color to the same color as the heart. Add drop shadow. Repeat these steps for the other black heart in the template.

Open the tag from the template, resize it by 20%, rotate it by 15 degrees to the right, place it on your canvas where you wish it to be, add a drop shadow. Add a bow on top of the tag from the kit, I resized my bow by 15 % and then opened another one and resized it by 10% and placed it on top of the other bow. Add drop shadow.

Copy and paste your tube onto your canvas. Add a drop shadow. Resize if needed.

Open a couple of flowers from the kit, copy and paste them onto your canvas, resize by 13%. Add drop shadow and place where you wish on your canvas.

Open one of the keys, copy and paste it onto your canvas, resize it by 25%, add drop shadow and place where you wish on your canvas.

Add your name on the tag.

Add copyright information.

Crop and resize if needed.
