SO BLUE

So Blue




This tutorial was written for those who have a working knowledge of PSP. This tut is meant to be followed as a guide. Please feel free to use any other papers, colors, elements and or tubes! You are only as limited as your imagination!! I wrote this in PSP XI, but it should work with any other version.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

PSP

Tube of Choice. I am using the beautiful work of Karen Middleton. You need a license to use her work. Please visit HERE to see her tubes and obtain a license.

Scrap Kit “So Blue” by Heartfelt Perfections. You can purchase it HERE Thank you Leigh for this awesome kit!

Font of Choice. I used Brock Script which you can find HERE

Ok Lets Begin!

Please note that if you have to resize anything or use the Pick tool, please don’t forget to adjust sharpen. The drop shadow used throughout is 2, 2, 50 and 5


Open a new image 700 X 700 We will resize later. Copy and paste a circle frame of choice (I used Circle Frame 3) Resize by 80. Click inside the circle and selections modify expand by 3, copy and paste a paper of choice (I used paper 9) selections invert then delete. Move the paper layer below the frame layer. Copy and paste String heart 2, and move it below your paper layer. Add the drop shadow to the string layer.

Copy and paste tube of choice and place it to your liking. If you want to make it look as if your tube is coming out of the frame, duplicate your tube layer, and move the original below the frame layer. On the duplicate layer, carefully erase any of the tube that is on the frame. Add the drop shadow to the original tube (the one below the frame)

Copy and paste bow 2 Resize by 75 twice. Place at the lower left of frame. Look at my tag for placement. Part of the ribbon was covering the face of the tube so I carefully erased that part of the ribbon. Add the drop shadow to the bow. Copy and paste flower 3 and place it on top of the bow. Resize by 50 3X Add the drop shadow to the flower.

Copy and paste the glitter layer and move it to the bottom of your tag. Add the drop shadow. Duplicate this glitter layer, and Mirror and Flip this layer. Move them both to your liking.

Add your artist copyright, and your text. Add the drop shadow to your text.
Merge you layers visible, and resize to your liking. Save as a PNG

This was an easy tut with beautiful results! I would love to see what you come up with!
