XOXO

My tutorials require a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro!

Supplies Needed:

*Paint Shop Pro

*Font of choice, I used Mr. Leopolde

*Template #135 by Missy of Divine Intentionz HERE

*"So In Love with You" PTU kit by Helly available for purchase at Cotton Candy Kreations HERE. Please visit her blog HERE.

*2 close up tubes of choice. I used the sexy artwork of Ismael Rac which can be purchased at 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, close the original. Delete the credits layer.

Click on one of the big hearts, go to Selections-Select All, Selections-Float, Selections-Defloat, open a paper of choice from the kit and then copy and paste it onto your canvas, Selections-Invert, hit delete key. Delete original heart template layer. Repeat this step for the other big heart.

Click on one of the big hearts again and go to Selections-Select All, Float, Defloat again but this time copy and paste the close-up of choice onto your canvas, place it inside the selection how you want it to be, resize if needed, Selections-Invert, hit delete key. Repeat for the other large heart using a different tube close up.

Add drop shadow of 0,0,88,8 to both of your tube close ups. Click on your tube close up layer on the left hand side, make sure the layer directly below it is the heart, then right click and merge down. Repeat for the other heart.

Click on your first merged heart and go to Effects-Plug Ins-Eye Candy 4000-Gradient Glow, change the top number to 3, click on the color tab and choose fat, click ok. Add drop shadow. Repeat for the other heart.

Open the circle beads, copy and paste into your canvas, position around one of your tubes/hearts, add drop shadow of 0,0,55,5. Duplicate and move the other one over to the other heart but leave the rings overlapping in the middle, see my tag for reference.

Click on the brackets layer. Selections-Select All, Float, Defloat, add a new raster layer, flood fill with color to match, Selections-Select All. Delete original brackets template layer. Go to Effects-Plug Ins-DSB Flux-Bright Noise, change the number to 75 and click on mix then click ok. Add the same gradient glow to the brackets and then the drop shadow of 0,0,88,8.

Click on the large rounded rectangle in the back, go to Selections-Select All, Float, Defloat, open another paper of choice from the kit, copy and paste it onto your canvas, go to Selections-Invert, hit delete key. Selections-Select None. Add drop shadow. Delete the original rounded rectangle template layer.

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

Add your name and add gradient glow to your name. I deleted the small heart layer from the template and didn't use it.
