Haunted Heart
I wrote this tutorial on 8th May 2008. Any similarity to any other tutorial is coincidental. Please do not claim it as your own.
I used Paint Shop Pro 9 but can be done in any version. You will need a good knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.
YOU WILL NEED:
* I have used the artwork of Zindy S.D Nielson . You can purchase her artwork HERE
Alternatively you are able to download some of Zindy's Free Images from HERE
* Scrap Set - Thank you to Christon from Haven Designz for allowing the use of her scrap kit "Hazy Teal". Christon has some gorgeous scrap kits for use. You can find them HERE
* Font - I have used fonts called Mistral, Artistamp and Beansprout DNA, or you can use a font of your choice.
* Mask - I have used one that is supplied with Paint Shop Pro 9
LETS START!
1) Open a new transparent image - size 600 x 400. Flood fill white.
2) Copy and paste papers of your choice as a new layer. I have used papers supplied by Christon in her "Hazey Teal" scrap kit. You should use atleast two different ones. Highlight one of the papers and using your selcection tool mark out a square within the paper so that you are left with a frame. Repeat this process on the second paper colour.
3) Hightlight the first paper colour. On this layer we are going to use your Rectangle tool to mark out a square. Change your Line Style to your liking and also colour. I have used Dash Dot Dot line. Layers - Convert to Raster.
This is what you should have by now :
As the image above shows I have angled my second square layer under the first square layer. To do this highlight your bottom square layer and using your Raster Deform Tool move it to your liking.
4) Add drop shadows of your choice to each of these layers.
5) Highlight your bottom square layer and duplicate this. Slide the duplicated layer above your top sqaure layer.
6) Using your Eraser tool, erase the duplicate layer that is covering the first square layer so that it looks as though the frames are intertwined as images below show :
7) Highlight your white background layer. Layers - New Raster Layer. Floodfill this layer with a colour of your choice and add a mask or plugin of your choice to this layer.
8) Add any embellishments to your frames that you wish to. I have used embellishments supplied in Christon's "Hazey Teal" scrap kit.
9) Add your tube of choice to the frame. Please make sure that you have permission to use the artist or you have purchased a license from the artist if they are pay to use. Add a drop shadow of your choice to the tube.
10) Add any words, names and the artists © to your tag.
Thank you for trying my tutorial!!
