For this tutorial you
will need: Ulead PhotoImpact I've done this tutorial in XL and v12. 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 Eye Candy 3.1 Supplies in zip file here http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/Memories-PS-PI-material.zip From Lien: Important!!! Please read carefully!!! * The scrap tubes used in this tutorial are bought by me personally. You may use these scrap elements for this tutorial, and for your personal use. You may not offer these tubes for sale, trade, sharing, your own tutorials, or commercial purposes. Read carefully the conditions of the scrap designers. If this rule is not observed I will have to stop writing scrap tutorials!!! Thanks for your cooperation. Concentration tube misted by Sugar I am assuming you know the basics of Paint Shop Pro and where the tools can be located. |
| Either install the font or double click
to open the windows font viewer for it. Leave it open and it will be available in the program. Open up your tubes and pattern file. Minimize all till needed. Each tube is only used once so you can close the tube files as you use them. |
| Step 1 Open a new white image 640 x 480 pix. |
| Step 2 Activate the tube LG-mem-rightside - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste (control-V). Move the tube entirely to the right. You can't see the edges of the canvas too well on this white, but I didn't want to make you print it with a background color. |
| Step 3 Activate the tube LG-mem-leftside - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste (control-V). Move the tube entirely to the left Layers>Merge down (don't flatten or merge visible) |

Move the tube to the left side of the left grey-blue strip, as shown Layers>Duplicate Transformation Tool>Rotate and Flip>Flip Horizontally and move the tube to the right edge of the right grey blue strip Right click on canvas>Arrange>Send backward, then move the lace on both sides till it's just peeking out from behind the background tube. Do the same with the lace on the other side. See my example. It's a bit hard to see along the right side, but it matches the left. Here's a closeup Highlight the top lace layer Right click in layer palette and click on merge so both lace pieces are on one layer. |
| Step 6 Activate in your layer palette the upper layer. Activate the tube LG-mem-stitches1 - copy, go to your working canvas, paste (control-V) Move it to the right side of the left blue tubes edge according to my example. Right click in layer palette>Duplicate. Transformation Tool>Rotate and Flip>Flip Horizontally. Move it into place on the right side. Right click in layer palette and click on merge |
| Step 7 Activate the tube LG-mem-tag - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste as new layer (control-V) Move the tube so it almost touches the bottom edge. |

Right click in layer palette>Duplicate. Transformation Tool>Rotate and Flip>Flip Horizontally. Move it into place on the right side, see my example Right click in layer palette and click on merge |

Step 12 Activate the tube LG-mem-corner - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste (control-V) Move the tube to the left top corner as shown. Place it so the flat edges at the top and left are just touching the edges. |
|
Step 13 Activate the tube LG-mem-flowertag - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste (control-V) Move the tube to the upper left corner as shown. Transformation Tool>Rotate Freely. Hover with your cursor at the bottom right and you'll see a curved arrow. Click down there and holding the left mouse button down, turn the tube slightly up anti-clockwise (up) |
|
Step 14 - Adding text Activate the text tool and pick the font Agatha (in zip). Use a size that would fit your text on the tag (I used size 28), foreground color #282116 (almost black), 3D Round, If your text is on two lines, it's better to do them separately so you can move them closer together. Once typed, right click on it and click on Shadow. Change the shadow to the 5th one, the one surrounding as shown Change transparency to 20, shadow size remains at 100, opacity reduced to 1 Transformation Tool>Rotate Freely. and rotate the text up on the right side, counterclockwise, in alignment with the tag. |

Step 15 Check if everything is placed properly. Right click on canvas, merge all Format>Image Size - reduce to 90%. Effect>Sharpen>Unsharp mask with the settings: radius 1 - amount 64 - threshold 4. |
