Please do not use the same tube unless you have the proper license to do so.
Let's Begin--
Open the template in PSP. Duplicate it by hitting Shift+D. Close the
original. Delete the first layer with the credits.
Open a paper of choice from the kit. Set it to your foreground color as a
pattern, background null.
Click on the Thin Grey Strips layer. Go to Selections-Select All.
Selections-Float, Selections-Defloat, add a new raster layer, flood fill the
selected areas with your paper, Selections-Select None. Delete the Thin Grey
Strips Layer.
Click on the Wide Grey Strips layer. Selections-Select All,
Selections-Float, Selections-Defloat, add a new raster layer, flood fill the
selected area with the same paper, Selections-Select None. Delete the Wide
Grey Strips layer.
Click on the Grey Rectangle layer. Selections-Select All, Selections-Float,
Selections-Defloat, add a new raster layer, flood fill with the same paper,
Selections-None, delete Grey Rectangle layer.
You may be able to follow the pattern now, lol!
Do the steps above for the black heart (Inner 1, 2 & 3) with a different
paper than you were using but use the same paper for all 3 hearts.
Do the steps above for the black strip layer using a different paper than
the other 2 you have used.
Do the same steps as above for the Heart Frames 1, 2, & 3 except this time
flood fill them with a color to match your tube. Apply the blinds effect
with these settings:
Width:2
Opacity:50
Color: White
Horizontal Checked
Following the steps above, flood fill the Dottie Lines layer with the same
color. Unfortunately, I was not able to figure out an easy way to do this. I
just zoomed in on them and clicked in each individual dot to flood fill it.
Perhaps you can figure out an easier way to do it and if you do, let me know
:)
Do the same thing with the upper and lower hearts layers, flood filling with
the same color. Add the blinds effect to these with the same settings except
uncheck horizontal.
Add a drop shadow of 0,0,88,8 to all of the layers except the big heart
layers in the middle that were black in the template, but make sure you do
add one to the heart frames around them.
Click on one of the big hearts in the middle. Go to Eye Candy 4000-Glass.
Change the Glass color to the same color you were using that matches your
tube, then apply without changing any other settings. Apply this effect to
the other 2 hearts as well.
Open a flower of choice from the scrap kit. Resize it to about 30%. Copy and
paste it onto your canvas. Place it along the top corners of the template.
See my tag for reference. Duplicate it twice and move them over a little
until you have a row of 3 flowers. Do the same thing for the bottom opposite
corner. Add drop shadows to all of the flowers.
Next, I cropped around the edges of the template leaving only a small amount
of white. Then I resized all layers by 95%. Then I went to Image-Canvas
Size, and changed it to 700X700. Then I flood filled the background layer
with white. This is all optional I just did this to make the template a
little smaller but the canvas a little bigger for adding the rest.
Open the notepaper from the kit. Copy and paste it onto your canvas, resize
by 50%. I also used my selection tool to cut a little off the side to make
it less wide. Add drop shadow. Free rotate to the left by 10%.
Open one of the folded flowers from the kit. Copy and paste it onto your
canvas, resize by about 45%. Move it over on the top of the paper to make it
look like it's clipped onto the paper. Add a drop shadow.
Add any text you wish to add on the letter. You will need to rotate it to
the left by 10% and make it a small size depending on the font you used so
that it looks like it was written on the paper. I used Freestyle script size
26.
Add a kiss brush or tube to the top of the letter.
Open the pen from the other kit. Copy and paste onto your canvas. Resize it
by 17%. Colorize if needed, add a drop shadow, move it to the side of the
letter.
Add your tube of choice. Resize if needed, place to the right. Add a drop
shadow of 2,2,88,8 and then add a drop shadow of -2,-2,88,8.
Open a different paper from the scrap kit that you didn't use earlier. With
your background layer selected, copy and paste it onto your canvas. Apply
your round misty mask of choice. Merge group.
With the mask layer selected, go to Effects-Distortion Effects-Pixelate with
both numbers set to 10. Then, go to Adjust-Sharpness-Sharpen, and repeat it
once.
Add your name and copyright information. I added the Glass filter to the
name and then added a gradient glow as well. You can do this if you wish or
leave it like it is.
Crop and resize if needed.
