Lets Begin!!

1. Open a transparent image – File/new – 450 x 450 pixels, we’ll crop later

2. Click on your tube tool and find a tube you like (for those using PSP 10 I used Flower 10, there are several colors in it to chose from)

3. Click on your canvas to put the flower on it… If it’s the color you want let’s move onto the next step, if it’s not the color you want it then just undo this step until you find the color you want or you can pick a color in your materials palette and grab your target brush and then change the color.

4. Ok now make a new layer – Layers/ New Raster Layer

5. Change the scale size to 80 for your tube. Click off to the right and down a bit next to your first flower. Repeat the undo or target brush if it’s not the color you want.

Layers/Merge Down

Layers/ Duplicate X out on your copy of layer and make the bottom layer the active layer.

Adjust/Blur/Gaussian Blur: Radius: 10

Effects/Plug-Ins/Toadies/Blast ‘Em:

Click back on your Copy of Layer and Un-X it.

Resize this layer to 85 %, Smart Size, make sure Resize all Layers is unchecked

Move it down a little bit and to the right.

You can save at this time if you’d like to save this and use for something else in the future. toothy5

Click on your Text tool (the one with the A)

Settings are: Create as Vector, Size: 48 (Depending on your text size),
Stroke Width: 2

Click on your canvas and when the box pops up type your text.

Add glass or inner bevel if you’d like. I used glass on mine.

Add a drop shadow of your choice.

Now grab your crop tool – Merged Opaque, if you have all your toolbars out, when you click on your crop tool your tools should open up at the top and you should see a little square looking thing over at the far right which is merged opaque screen1

Add your watermark if you have one.

Layers/Merge All Flatten

Save as a Jpeg and show it off!
