postheadericon Winter Memories Tut


Feel free to use my tutorial as a guide and have fun giving it your own spin.

This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Needed Supplies & Filters :
 

Tube of Choice .. I am using the work of Joanne Schempp (http://schempp.us/) which you must have a license to use. Please do not use her work without purchasing through My Tag Art here.

Scrap Kit of Choice .. I have used one of my own PTU Kits called Winter Wonders which can also be purchased at My Tag Art here.

Template of Choice .. I have used Template 158 by Toxic Desirez which can be downloaded here.

Mask of Choice .. I haved used WSL_Mask338 Weescotslass which can be downloaded here.

Word Art of Choice .. I have used word art by Lori which can be downloaded here.

Font of Choice .. Waterbrush ROB.

Let's get started

Open your template in PSP & delete credits, left rectangle, right rectangle, pixel words, thin glitter, thin rectangle, words & small snowflakes layers. Resize canvas size 700x700 & floodfill background layer white.

New raster layer just above your background layer. Select all, copy and paste into selection Paper 17. Select none. New mask layer from image, WSL_Mask338, invert transparency unchecked. Merge group and resize 110%.

Copy and paste Snowflakes 7, drop shadow and position top right hand corner. I have used 2/2/40/4 throughout.

Select Left Circle 1 layer, select all/float/defloat, copy and paste Paper 12, selections invert and hit delete. Select none and delete original Left Circle 1 layer. I then added a size 3 fat white gradient glow and drop shadow.

Repeat with Right Circle 1 layer.

Select Rectangle layer, select all/float/defloat, copy and paste Paper 2, selections invert and hit delete. Select none and delete original Rectangle layer. I then added the same gradient glow & drop shadow as before.

Select Left Circle 2 layer, select all/float/defloat, copy and paste Paper 7, selections invert and hit delete. Select none and delete original Left Circle 2 layer. I then added the same gradient glow & drop shadow as before.

Repeat with Right Circle 2 layer.

Copy and paste Bow 12, resize 65% & drop shadow. Position at the top of your top circle.

Select Right Square layer, select all/float/defloat, copy and paste Paper 17, selections invert and hit delete. Select none and delete original Right Square layer. I then added the same gradient glow & drop shadow as before.

Repeat with Left Square layer.

Select Snowflakes layer and add the same gradient glow and drop shadow.

Select Circle 1 layer and adjust color balance/manual color correction from #4ebbe3 to #50738f. Add gradient glow & drop shadow.

Select Glitter Circle layer and adjust color balance/manual color correction from #2b7fa3 to #50738f.

Select Circle 2 layer, select all/float/defloat, copy and paste Paper 22, selections invert and hit delete. Select none and delete original Circle 2 layer.

At this point, to work better with your chosen tube, you may decide to resize all layers. I used 600x600.

Copy and paste Element 10, resize 65% & drop shadow. Position to the left.

Copy and paste your tube and drop shadow. Position to the right of your tree.

Copy and paste Element 15, resize 75% & drop shadow. Position along the bottom. Copy and paste Element 16, resize 75% & drop shadow. Position along the bottom as well.

Copy and paste Element 4, resize 65% & drop shadow. Position bottom right hand corner.

Copy and paste Element 8, resize 40% & drop shadow. Position bottom left hand corner.

Copy and paste Element 6, resize 35%, image/flip & drop shadow. Position at the base of your tree.

Copy and paste your word art and add the same gradient glow & drop shadow as previously used.

X out white background, merge visible. Open white background, resize to your liking (I have used 500x500).

Add copyright and your name. I have used Waterbrush ROB, Size 72, color #759edc and then added the same gradient glow & drop shadow.
 
Save and you are done.
