For this tutorial you will
need: Corel Paint Shop Pro (or Jasc previous 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 FM Tile Tools Penta Dot and Cross Xero Porcelain and Fritillary Supplies in zip file here. http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/pascaline-supplies.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/pascaline-supplies-psd.zip ************* Tubes from Kara, Kat and Lia with their permission Kara's site: http://tubes.kara2601.de/ Lia shares her tubes in the For_Your_Eyes_Only_Sweety group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/For_Your_Eyes_Only_Sweety/?yguid=226718502 I am assuming you know the basics of Paint Shop Pro and where the tools can be located. |
| 1 - Open the tubes, duplicate them and close the originals. Click on the crossed out eye in each one to see the tubes. |
| 2 - Open a transparent image 600X450 pixels. Fill with color #456d90 (dark smoky blue) |
| 3 - Activate the tube KaraT3961-larger flowers.

| 7 - Activate tube lia-T0024-IP (door) Copy then paste as new layer in your working canvas. Place in the middle so that the door is in the center. Turn on the ruler if you have to. What I do is place my cursor at the center of the door opening (not the opened door, just the door opening). I know the canvas is 600 wide so I want the cursor to be at right about 300. You don't have to be exact, just as close as you can make it. Move it up near the top. See example below. Blend Mode of this layer: Multiply, Opacity: 85%   |
8 - Effects>FM Tile Tools>Blend Emboss at default, wrap edges checked, twice  |

Switch off all of the layers below this (click on the eye for each layer) Merge visible. You will be merging just the girl and duplicate girl layer. |
