Soft Kisses


This tutorial was written by me on 24th January 2009
Any similarities to other tutorials are completely coincidental
and unintentional. I try and keep my tutorials as simple as
possible, but they are written assuming you have a good
working knowledge of PSP and Animation Shop



SUPPLIES NEEDED:-

Bee Mine scrapkit by Tracey at Soxsational Scraps. You can purchase the kit HERE
Mask 55 by Enchanted by Darkness which you can download HERE
Template 30 by AquaRebel315 which you can download HERE
Font of choice - I used Satisfaction
Xero porcelain effect (optional)
Two tubes of choice from the same artist. I am using the artwork of Sonia Roji.
You must have a licence to use her work which you can purchase from HERE

Ready? Then let's get started :)


Make sure your mask is minimised in PSP

1. Open up the template in PSP. Make a duplicate (shift D) and close the original. Delete the copyright layer, highlight the white background layer and go to image, canvas size and increase canvas size to 600 x 600. You will probably need to floodfill the rest of the canvas white

2. Highlight the white background layer and copy and paste a paper of choice as a new layer. Go to layers, new mask layer from image. Select EBDMask55 from the dropdown and make sure source luminance is checked, then press ok. Highlight the mask layer and delete. Answer yes to the box that pops up. Highlight the layer that says "group", right click on this layer and ungroup layers

3. Highlight raster 3. Go to selections, select all, float and defloat. Keep selected and copy and paste a paper of choice from the kit as a new layer. Go to selections, invert and hit delete on your keyboard. Deselect and give a small dropshadow of 0, 0, 50, 5. Delete the original raster 3 layer

Duplicate this layer then go to image and flip. Duplicate this layer then go to image and mirror. You should end up with one flower art in each corner.
