Sweet Nightmare

My tutorials require a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro!

Supplies Needed:

*Paint Shop Pro

*Font of choice

*"A Sweet Gothorian Princess" PTU scrap kit by Chaos Priestess which is available for purchase from Digital Chaos. Please visit her blog HERE.

*Tube or image of choice. I am using the awesome artwork of Dark Yarrow which is available for purchase from MPT. Please do not use the same tube unless you have the proper license to do so.

Let's Begin--

Open a 650 X 650 white canvas.

Open a frame of choice from the kit. Copy and paste it onto your canvas. Resize it by 80%.

Click inside the frame with your magic wand, Selections-Modify-Expand by 4, copy and paste your tube/image of choice, Selections-Invert, hit delete key. Move the tube layer below the frame layer.

Open one of the doodle elements that looks kind of like a tree with a heart in it, lol. Copy and paste it onto your canvas. Resize it by 60%, move it to the right bottom side of the frame, add a drop shadow. Add a couple of flowers of choice, resizing them by 60% and adding drop shadows to each one. Add a moth of choice from the kit. Resize by 50% and add drop shadow.

Add a doodle of choice from the kit and place it behind the frame.

Select your background layer, copy and paste a paper of choice from the kit, apply a round mask of choice, merge group. Go to Adjust-Blur-Gaussian Blur and set the radius to 25.

Add text of choice and copy right information.

Resize and crop if needed.
