My tutorials require a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro!

Supplies Needed:

*Paint Shop Pro

*Font of choice

*Template #68 from Designs by Ali HERE

*Eye Candy 4000- Gradient Glow (optional)

*Eye Candy 5 Impact- Chrome

*"Wicked Cool" PTU scrap kit by Helly which is available for purchase from Cotton Candy Kreations HERE. Please visit her blog HERE

*Tube or image of choice. I am using the sexy artwork of Ismael Rac which is available for purchase from AMI. Please do not use the same tube unless you have the proper license to do so.

**Note--All of my Ismael Rac tubes were purchased when he was with MPT so my tags still show my MPT license. I have not purchased any of his tubes 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 then close the original. Delete the credit layer. Go to Image-Canvas Size, change the number to 650 X 650. Add a new raster layer, drag it to the bottom, flood fill with white.

Select the back shape 1 layer. Selections-Select All, Float, Defloat, copy and paste a paper of choice from the kit, Selection-Invert, hit delete key. Delete original back shape 1 layer. Go to Effects-Eye Candy 4000-Gradient Glow, change the glow width to 3, click on the color tab and click on fat then click ok. Add a drop shadow of 0,0,88,8.

Select the side rectangles layer and delete it.

Select the inside star layer. Selections-Select All, Float, Defloat, copy and paste a different tube of choice from the kit, Selections-Invert, hit delete key. Delete original inside star layer.

Select the star frame layer. Go to Effects-Plugins-Eye Candy 5 Impact-Chrome. Use default settings and click ok. Add drop shadow.

Copy and paste your tube onto your canvas. Position it in the middle of the star. Add drop shadow.

Open the flower cluster from the kit. Copy and paste it onto your canvas, resize it by 50%, add drop shadow, place to the left on top of where the side rectangles were.

Open one of the tags from the kit, copy and paste it onto your kit, resize it by 40%, place it on the right side of the star (see my tag for reference), use your eraser tool to erase a bit of the string to make it appear to be hanging off of the star. Add drop shadow.

Add any other elements of choice from the kit that you wish to add.

Add text of choice, name and copyright information.

Crop and resize as needed.
