For this tutorial you will
need: PSP, either Jasc or Corel versions. I've done this tutorial in PSP 9 and PSP XI. I believe it can be done in most versions. You may have to look around for the commands but it's likely they are there.  Filters and materials needed no 3rd party filters needed, all native psp filters used Supplies in zip file here. http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/fete-des-meres-supplies-psp.zip Supplies in zip file here for older versions if the other ones don't work for you. These are in psd format. http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/fete-des-meres-supplies-psd.zip Tubes were made by Kara and used with her permission You will find Kara's scraps in her group, Creative for Fun http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Creative_for_fun/ Font used for tag was Lucida Calligraphy ************* I am assuming you know the basics of Paint Shop Pro and where the tools can be located. |
| 1 - Open your tubes, duplicate them and close the originals.
