Dreamer

January 24, 2010 in Tag Tutorials by Lise-Lotte Sunesen | 1 comment

Program used: PSP 9

Level: Intermeditate

Supplies: Kit Winter Dreams by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. The kit can be bought here.

A tube of your choice.

My PSP frame. It can be downloaded here.

* Install the frame from the zip: Move lhsTORNEDGE_01 to c:/documents/MyPSPFiles/PictureFrame

* Open a 400*600 px. canvas. This is now your working canvas. Save!

* Open a paper (I use paper 05 from the kit). Resize to 20% (SmartSize) and c/p to your canvas.

* Open the peacock feather. C/p it to your canvas.

* C/p the tube of your choice to the canvas.

* Go to Picture Frames. Find the lhsTORNEDGE_01 frame, apply it with these settings:

* C/p the feather and move it to above the frame layer. Resize this feather to 11% (SmartSize).

* Rotate this layer 75 degrees to the left.

* Move the big feater, the tube and the small feater to your liking. Mine looks like this:

* I want to use the feather as a pattern for my text, so I copy the big feather and c/p it as a new canvas.

* Crop the canvas so it looks something like this:

* Then go to Seamless Tiling and apply these settings:

* Minimize this canvas.

* Back on your working canvas go to the Text Tool. Choose the pattern you just made from the drop down panel and set it to angle 0 and scale 65.

Write your text.

I wrote Dreamer with Muenchner Fractur size 100.

* Apply an Inner Bevel. I used these settings:

* Add a drop shadow to the different layers (minus the paper and the frame layer).

Your tag is now finished! :)

This is what mine looks like:

I hope, you enjoyed this tutorial.

* Open a 600*400 px. canvas. Save it.

* Fill your canvas with white.

* Open paper 4 from the kit, resize to 600*600 px. (Smartsize). C/p onto the canvas.

I used the following elements to embellish my tag: a moon, a rainbow, a star and a sheep.

Write your text.

I wrote “sweet” with Bickham Script Pro size 72 and “lullaby” with Bauhaus Lt Bt size 48.

* Add a drop shadow to all layers.

Winter Love

January 11, 2010 in Misc. Tutorials, Tag Tutorials by Lise-Lotte Sunesen | No comments

Program used: PSP 9

Level: Beginner

Supplies: Kit Forever And Ever by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. The kit can be bought here.

My template (PSD layered file). It can be downloaded here.

A scenic picture or mist of your choice.

* Open and duplicate the template. Save it. It will now be your working canvas.

* Open three papers, resize to 600*600 px. (Smartsize). C/p to your canvas just above layer “1″.

I use paper 1, 2 and 9 (blue) from kit Forever And Ever.

* Go to layer “2″, select, float, deselect. x-out the layer and then on paper 9 (blue), right click and promote selection to layer. x-out the original paper layer.

* Go to layer “3″ and repeat the last proces with paper 1. But don´t x-out this paper layer.

* I wanted a less pink background, so I placed paper 1 (the beige paper) above paper 2 (the pink paper) and lowered the opacity of the beige paper to 42.

The pink paper should now be the first (or lowest) layer, and the beige should be the next layer.

* Add a drop shadow to the two promoted selection layers.

This is what my tag looks like now:

*  Open your scenic picture or mist. C/p it onto the canvas just above the x-ed out layer “3″.

* On layer “3″ click inside the rectangle, expand the selection with 3 px.. Then go to the scenic picture/mist layer. Promote this layer to a selection. x-out the original scenic layer.

* Open lhsHEART_kitForeverAndEver_01. Resize to 17%.

C/p onto your canvas. Add a drop shadow to the heart. Then place it at the right bottom of the canvas.

* Open lhsSTRINGOFHEARTS_kitForeverAndEver_01. Resize to 17% and c/p it to the canvas.

Rotate it with 35 degrees to the left. It is still a bit too big, so resize it with 80%.

Add a drop shadow. I want to make this a perspective shadow, so remember to chose “Add On New Layer” when making the shadow.

* Go to the warp brush and with these settings:

warp the drop shadow under the bows. When satisfied, apply the warp.

* If you like: add your name or some other text part to your tag.

* Your tag is now finished! :)

This is what mine looks like:
