For this tutorial you
will need: Corel or Jasc Paint Shop Pro 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 filters needed Supplies in zip file here. http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/Memories-PSP-material.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/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 PSP. 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 transparent image 640 x 480 pix. |
| Step 2 Activate the tube LG-mem-rightside - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste as new layer (control-L). Move the tube entirely to the right.  |
| Step 3 Activate the tube LG-mem-leftside - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste as new layer (control-L). Move the tube entirely to the left  Layers>Merge down (don't flatten or merge visible) |
| Step 4 Activate the tube LG-mem-background - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste as new layer (control-L). Move the tube a little to the left as shown.  |
| Step 5 Activate the tube LG-mem-lace - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste as new layer (control-L). Move the tube to the left side of the left grey-blue strip, as shown  Layers>Duplicate Image>Mirror and move the tube to the right edge of the right grey blue strip Layers>Arrange>Move down, 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 Layers>Merge>Merge down 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 as new layer (control-L) Move it to the right side of the left blue tubes edge according to my example. Layers>Duplicate. Image>Mirror. The tube will go to the other side, move it into place if it isn't quite right.  Layers - merge down |
| Step 7 Activate the tube LG-mem-tag - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste as new layer (control-L) Move the tube so it almost touches the bottom edge.  |
| Step 8 Activate in your layer palette the upper layer. Activate the tube LG-mem-stitches2 - go to your working canvas, paste as new layer (control-L) Move it to the left side of the left blue edge according to my example. Layers>Duplicate. Image>Mirror. It will now be on the other side, move it into place if it isn't in the right spot, see my example  Layers - Merge down |
| Step 9 Activate the tube Concentration - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste as new layer (control-L) Move it up a bit, as shown here.  |
| Step 10 Activate the tube LG-mem-frame - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste as new layer (control-L) Move it up so it frames the concentration tube, see example.  |
| Step 11 Activate the tube LG-mem-heart - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste as new layer (control-L) Move the tube to the right as shown.  |
|
Step 12 Activate the tube LG-mem-corner - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste as new layer (control-L) 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 edge.  |
|
Step 13 Activate the tube LG-mem-flowertag - copy (control-C), go to your working canvas, paste as new layer (control-L) Move the tube to the upper left corner as shown. Activate the raster deform tool. Change the mode to Free (shift). You will see the red boxes around the tube.   Hover with your cursor close the middle right where the red box sticks out of it, on a line. You will see curved arrows. Click down there and holding the left mouse button down, turn the tube slightly up anti-clockwise (up)  |
|
Step 14 - Adding text Layers - new raster layer. 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 22), foreground color set at null, background color #282116 (almost black), make the text as a vector, so that you can rotate the text on the tag.   If your text is on two lines, it's better to do them separately so you can move them closer together. If you just go down one line in the same text window and type the next line, you'll see that the two lines of text are quite far apart. Activate your raster deform tool, Free mode, and rotate the text up on the right side, counterclockwise, in alignment with the tag. Effects>3D Effects>Drop shadow. H+V = 1, opacity = 50, blur = 10, color black.   |
|
Step 15 Check if everything is placed properly. Layers>Merge>Merge visible Image>resize - 90%.  Adjust>Sharpness>Unsharp mask with the settings: 1-64-4.  |
|
Step 16 Image>Add border - 3 pix, color #f2f0e5 (pale grey) Select the edge with your magic wand, tolerance at 0, anti-alias checked.  Effects>3D Effects>Inner Bevel. Settings: Bevel 2, 3, 10, 5, 0, 0, 315, 50, 30, white  Effects>3D Effects>Drop shadow. , same as before. H+V = 1, opacity = 80, blur = 5, color black. Repeat with H+V on -1.  Selections>Select none. |
|
Step 17 Image>Add border - 7 pix, color #3a4353 Image>Add border - 15 pix, color #f2f0e5 Select the edge with your magic wand. Open your memory pattern and find it in your material palette. It will be at or near the top Angle 0, scale 100 and fill selection with the pattern with your bucket tool.  Repeat Inner Bevel as in step 16, but change the width to 15. Effects>3D Effects>Drop shadow, same as before, H+V = 1, opacity = 80, blur = 5, color black. Repeat with H+V on -1.  Selections>Select none You're done! |
