Sounds of the Sea ~ Extras & Cluster frame~

6:12 PM | Posted by Mommie2myboys | Edit Post

Scrap Kit of choice, I used Sounds of the Sea by Stargazer Musings.

Tube of choice, I used the art of ©Keith Garvey which requires a license which may be purchased at PTE.

Font of choice, I used Summertime.

Let's begin.

Open a new image, 750x750 and using paper10 or something similar if you aren't using the same kit.

Copy and paste into your image.Choose another paper I used paper three.

Now using the deform tool adjust the second paper to fit int to the "framed paper" of the first paper.

With the erase tool erase any bits that don't fit into that area of the first paper.

Now using the clone tool clone area of white of the first paper with complimentary elements from the second paper.

Once you've covered the white area use the erase tool with a soft brush and the density and opacity of the tool lowered to 50.

Erase the edge areas to help blend the papers together in a desired fashion.

(You could also use a frame if desired, this kit has beautiful frames too.)

Merge the layers.Then re-size 98.

Go around the edges of the layer to soften the edges of it using the erase tool with either the same setting or adjust as desired.

Now place your tube and adjust as you'd like it positioned, and add a drop shadow I used 3,3,50,12.

Use your erase tool to blend the tube into your "picture" if necessary or desired.

Using the elements choose some that will make a "picture" then re-size as necessary and place behind your tube.

Now using which ever tubes desired or you may use my tag as a template, and place around the "picture" you've created.

For all elements add the same drop shadow as above, and re-size between 5 and 70.

The deform tool helps with positioning and size adjustment.

Re-size and add your copyright. Add your name and you have completed my tutorial.

Thank you for trying my tutorial and visiting my blog.

Here is a freebie Cluster frame from this kit for you to download if you like it.

New Beginnings by Stargazer Musings~~Extra (FTU)

9:11 PM | Posted by Mommie2myboys | Edit Post

This tutorial was written entirely by me, using PSP9, any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.

This tutorial should work with any version of PSP.

This tutorial is written with the belief that you have a working knowledge of PSP, but is also suitable for beginners.

Materials you will need:

Scrap Kit of choice, I used New Beginnings by Stargazer Musings.

Tube of choice, I used the art of ©Anna Marine which requires a license which may be purchased at CDO.

Mask of choice, I used a mask with file name ng6fkg, and I'm not sure where I got it, but if this is your work, please contact me so I may credit you.

Font of choice, I used Oh Lara.

Filter: EyeCandy 4000 Gradient Glow

Let's begin.

Open a new image, 750x750

Copy and paste a paper from your kit then apply a mask load/save mask, merge, merge group. Add a drop shadow of 0,0,40,5.

Paste as a new layer a close up of your tube, add your mask to your tube and merge applying to the layer and merging then erase any extra bits you don't want.

Adjust the transparency to suit you (I putt it at 30).

Below the mask layer place a layer or two of scatter depending on the effect you'd like to achieve. if you use more than one layer merge down after adjustment, and add a gradient glow of choice.

Now take a doodle element from your kit and place above the mask layer adjust as desired and duplicate then mirror.

Repeat this process with a vine or leaf element from your kit. You may need to re-size, I re-sized 80, and 50 one two vines before duplicating.

Now place your tube adjusting and positioning as desired, add a drop shadow of choice or use the same as above.

In order to get excellent blending you may want to duplicate the tube layer and apply the same mask. Add the same gradient glow you used on the scatter layer.

If you choose to add a mask to a layer you may need to use your erase tool on the top layer for to erase unnecessary parts.

Using flower elements re-sized 20 & 40 place to compliment your tag.

Re-size and add your copyright and your name and you have completed this tutorial.

Simple Beauty (FTU) using Stargazer Musings Scraps

6:48 PM | Posted by Mommie2myboys | Edit Post

This tutorial was written entirely by me, using PSP9, any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.

This tutorial should work with any version of PSP.

This tutorial is written with the belief that you have a working knowledge of PSP, but is also suitable for Advanced beginners.

Materials you will need:

Scrap Kit of choice, Purple Elegance I used by Stargazer Musings.

Tube of choice, I used the art of ©Fumiko Barrows which requires a license which may be purchased at DSI.

Mask of choice, I used , gemsmask32 and you may get it here.

Font of choice, I used Lovely Audrey BG.

Filters:

Gradient Glow

Animation shop if you choose to animate.

Let's begin.

Open a new image, 750x750

Choose a paper from your kit, and apply your mask, invert transparency if desired(I did), then merge group.

Pick a frame and copy and paste as a new layer into your tag and add a gradient glow or a drop shadow.

Paste a layer of your tube beneath the frame layer add a drop shadow. Duplicate the tube and move above the frame layer.

Using your erase tool erase bits of the tube around the frame on both tube layers.

You may also use your clone tool to soften and hard edges of your tube.(I softened the small part of my tubes hair that was cut off straight).

Place a ribbon element around your frame layer as desired and embellish with flowers from your kit re-sized 30.

You may add a drop layer to each layer. Use your erase tool to Blend the layers together well.

Now using a hanging heart element you may "hang" it off your frame by using the erase tool and layering above and below the frame layer.

Re-size a dragon fly element 30 and add a drop shadow and gradient glow as desired, and place on your tag.

Repeat this process with the butterfly elements. You may use your deform tool to position.

Now re-size, add your copyright and name.

If you choose not to animate you have completed my tutorial.

If you choose to animate you need to duplicate each of the butterfly layers three times.

You should pinch or punch the duplicate layers of each between 15 & 25 depending on how you'd like your result.

Copy the original layer of your first butterfly into AS as a new animation then paste after current frame each duplicate layer of that butterfly.

Repeat this with the second butterfly making two new animations (one for each butterfly).

In animation shop chose the first of three frames of your first butterfly click on effects, then insert image effects, then Pinch.

Choose the customize, then choose horizontal, and canvas color, click OK. Adjust the frames per second to suit you and the Effect length as well.

(I used 2.4 for effect length and 1 for Frames per second).

Repeat this with the third of original frame you placed.

On the Original second frame repeat the steps, but rather than pinch you want to compress.

So you will have three frames pinch, then three frames compress then three frames pinch for a total of nine frames. Save this as an AS animation (.mng) file.

Repeat the steps with the second butterfly.

Choose one of the butterflies and select all then click animations and reverse frames. Re-save in the reverse.

Go back to PSP and copy Merged your tag, paste as a new animation in animation shop. Click ctrl-L eight times until you have 9 frames.

Make sure you have propagate and paste clicked then select all(ctrl-A).

Click on your first butterfly Select all, then copy go back to your tag frames Make sure you have all selected and paste into the current frame (ctrl-E).

Repeat this with the second butterfly.

Check your animation, and adjust the frame speed as desired (I used 15).

Thank you for trying out my tutorial.

Love Always (PTU) using Stargazer Musings scraps (Extras)

10:32 AM | Posted by Mommie2myboys | Edit Post

This tutorial was written entirely by me, using PSP9, any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.

This tutorial should work with any version of PSP.

This tutorial is written with the belief that you have a working knowledge of PSP, but is easy enough for a beginner as well..

Materials you will need:

Scrap Kit of choice, I used Always in Love by Stargazer Musings.

purchased at Zindy Zone.

Mask of choice, I used mask 297 by WeeScotsLass, and it may be found here

Font of choice, I used Billy Argel font.

Filters:

EyeCandy 4000 ~Gradient Glow~

Let's get Started.

Open a new image 750x750.

Copy a paper from your kit I used paper eight and paste as a new layer in your image.

Apply your mask~ click layer, Load/Save mask, Apply.

Merge group~ click merge, merge group.

Next take a frame from your kit, I used frame 2 and resized 70. Add a drop shadow of choice, my choice was2,2,80,12.

Next add a gradient glow using these settings:

Next place your tube under the frame, position as desired,Add your drop shadow and gradient glow as desired; then duplicate and move duplicate level above the frame.

Using your erase tool erase bits of the duplicate tube so the it is positioned as desired to "come out of the frame".

Now it is time to start choosing and positioning your elements the first is the bead string, place beneath your frame, and using the deform tool position as desired.

You may resize if it suits you, but I did not.

For all elements, you may use my tag as a guide, or go your own way, this tutorial simply stimulates creativity.

Next crop your image as to release any "extra" from around the tag.use your erase too to help "fade" the edges of the string.

Add your drop shadow.

Using the bead string again this time resized 60, position as desired above the frame, you may again use your deform tool to arrange it as suits your tag.

Add a drop shadow. Now using the glass heart charm resized 70 twice position as desired on the second bead string.

Duplicate and move original under the string layer, add a drop shadow.

Go back to the duplicate layer and erase small bits so it "floats" on the string.You may repeat these steps with the Diamond lips, Diamond Love & Diamond key.

Resize and use your deform tool as needed to suit your vision. On the original layers of each of the previous elements, in addition to the drop shadow I also added a gradient glow.

Next using the heart string element I placed it above the frame (use my tag as a guide) and added a drop shadow.

Now resize , add your copyright and you name and you have completed this tutorial.

Thank you for trying it.

Here are extras for those interested.
