Enchanting Tutorial featuring Enchanted (PTU)

12:12 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 Enchanted by Sweet Dreams Scraps.

Tube or tubes of choice, I used the art of ©Keith Garvey which requires a license which may be purchased at his store Garv-Girls.

Mask of choice, I used NikMask27, and you may find it here for purchase.

Font of choice, I used Almibar Swash 1.

Filter:

Xero ~ Porcelain

Let's begin.

Open a new image, 750x750

Choose a paper from your kit and apply your mask then merge the group.

Place a multi-frame from your kit, position as desired and add a drop shadow. I used 4,4,60,12.

Using your magic wand tool, click inside open area of the frame, then selections, modify, and expand by 15.

Copy and paste one of your tubes or the area of the tube you'd like to appear in the frame, invert, delete and add your drop shadow.

Move the tube layer beneath the frame layer.

Duplicate tube layer, then add a Gaussian blur of 3 and change properties to overlay.

Go back to the original tube layer and colorize to match a color of choice from your kit.

Repeat these steps for each opening on your frame either using different tubes or different areas of your chosen tube.

Place your tube as desired adding a drops shadow of choice or those settings above.

Apply these Porcelain settings or those of your choosing.

Duplicate this layer, and add a Gaussian Blur, change your properties to Soft light.

Begin placing your elements from your kit using as many or as few as desired. Adding drop shadows as needed.

Once you've achieved what you like, re-size your tag, add your copyright and your name and you've completed my tutorial.

Thank you for trying out my tutorial.

Fairy Gear (Extra) using Sweet Dream Scraps

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 Sweet Plum by Sweet Dream Scraps.

Tube of choice, I used the art of ©Camilla Drakenborg which requires a license which may be purchased at UYA.

Mask of choice, I used one called Untitled-4, and I don't where I got it from, but if it is your work please contact me so I can credit you.

Font of choice, I used Chivalry Decorative (PTU)

Animation shop (if you choose to animate)

Filters:

EyeCandy ~Gradient Glow~

Xenofex2 Constellation (for animation)

Let's begin.

Open a new image 750x750 you will resize later.

Choose a paper from your kit (I used paper3) copy and paste as a new layer into your image, apply a mask (layers, load/save mask) then merge the group.

Repeat this using a different paper (I used 2) but the same mask. Mirror this group layer when done merging.

Take a swirl/glitter element from your kit (I used element 26) and resize as needed to suit you paste as a new layer, duplicate and mirror.

Place your tube and position as desired.Add the drop shadow of choice.

Choose elements to suit your tube, and place to achieve the desired effect.

I used elements 14,15,16, 33 & 34. for each I resized 80 and used my deform tool to adjust for my vision.

In some cases you may resize more than once to achive the size you need then use the deform tool to position to adjust and position.

For element 33 duplicate and place one layer under element 34 then on the top layer use your erase tool so the the element "hangs" from element 34.

You may add your dropshadow and gradient glow as desired to your elements.

Resize, add your copyright and your name. You have completed my tutorial.

Extras here.

Animated Tag

If you'd like to animate your tag, go to the swirl layers and duplicate each until you have four layers of each.

On the first layer apply these settings

or those of your liking. Then on each additional layer using the same settings click random seed.

Now x-ing out three of each side copy merged and paste as a new animtion into AS. Repeat this on each of the four layers of both sides.

After the first one you will paste after selected frame in animation shop. You will have four frames.

In animation shop you may adjust the frame properties as desired to either speed or slow your animation.

Check your animation to see if you like it and save.

Thank you for trying our my tutorial.

Kaci's Kits & Kadoodles

Hi, I'm Kaci. Nope not that Kaci, the other one. I am still fairly new to PSPing compared to some and I love it!! I want to continue to learn so I can get better and continue making my own scrap kits. I love to make new friends so stop by and visit my little corner over here.

I'm still learning to blog too, so be patient while I figure this out, and I'm learning to do blog layouts, lol. I'm happy to have a few followers and look forward to more.

I've recently ventured into Digital scrap-booking store ownership with friends, so feel free to check out the links on the page.

I also love to knit, crochet (not really good at that just yet), read, cook, bake and learn new things. Most of what I post will probably be PSP related, but Iwill occasionally vent here too. Please leave a comment let me know what you think or if you want me to try something for a freebie.

I would love to see the results of my tutorials if you want to share. Please email them to me at kaciskitsnkadoodles@gmail.com. I look forward to seeing results of my tuts so come on email me lol!!!
