tutSHINYBUTTONALPHA

Program used: PSP 9

Level: Beginner

Supplies: Shiny Button (PSP Scritp) by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. Available here.

Three papers from kit Delightful Autumn by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. Available here.

Open one of the papers, minimize it. Go to background color and select Pattern. Chose the paper, set the scale to 50.

Chose a foreground color. It will turn out grey/silver no matter which color. I use a grey color.

Find and run the script lhsBUTTON_shiny_01_vectorstyle (/see the link to the store in the above). If you don´t want to buy the script, but still want to try out this tut, you can download the buttons, I have made for this tut here. Beware, that they are for PERSONAL USE only. Thank you! :)

This is what my button looks like, when I use paper number 6 from the kit Delightful Autumn.

Save the finished button as a png.

Make a couple of more buttons with different papers. Again save these as pngs.

Now open one of the buttons and with your text tool write an A. I used the font Kozuka Mincho Pro size 250 for my button alpha. Choose a fairly dark brown color for the letter.

Then play with the blend modes to get a nice burned look.

Here are screenshots of the settings,  I have used on my alpha buttons:

Remember to save you alpha buttons as pngs as you are finished with them.

Repeat the process with all the letters and/or numbers, you want to use.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! :)

Vintage Love

Program used: PSP9

Level: beginner

Supplies: kit Summer Love by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. The kit can be found here.

Plus a tube of your choice.

Open a paper and the round frame. Duplicate the paper and c/p the frame onto it.

With your selection tool trace the frame in the white area (/this is necessary due to the chenille border of the frame), go to the paper layer, and promote the selection to layer.

Add a drop shadow to the frame.

Copy merged and paste this onto a new 3600*3600 pixel canvas.

Save the canvas as a psp-image (/or another multi-layered format – i.e. psd).

Open and c/p the embellishments, you would like to use to this new canvas. I used a flower rank and a pearl necklace. Add a drop shadow to these embellishments. Place them to your liking.

Resize the canvas to 600*600 pixels.

Open the tube of your liking, c/p it to the canvas. Add a drop shadow. Place the tube to your liking. The tube I use  is one, I have gotten through Patries´ Yahoo tube group.

If you want, you can add a text or journaling to the tag. I added “Vintage Love”. I used a font called Gwendolyn.

Crop any excess from the tag.

Save. Also save as a jpg, if you want to use the tag.

My finished tag:
