This tutorial was written by Bhamman on 28th February 2019, and assumes a working knowledge of PSP.

Any similarity to other works is unintentional and purely coincidental.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Supplies needed: 

Tube of choice - I am using Enys Guerrero 43-2, which you can get at CDO Here

Do not use this artwork without a license.

Scrapkit - FTU Remember When by Chaos Priestess Here

Masks - Mask 16 by Vivienne Here

Font of choice. 

Drop Shadow 2,3,55,7 Black.

No Filters.

Don’t forget to sharpen when re-sizing/rotating your elements/tube.

Except where noted I am working from back to front for my layering.

I am using PSP x2. Some of the effects may not be available in earlier versions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Open blank canvas 600 x 600 px, floodfill white.

Open mask and tube and minimise for now.

Open paper 01, copy/paste into canvas, Adjust/Hue and Saturation/Colorise H:216, S:30. Apply mask, re-size 95%, reduce opacity to 80%, move to the right a little.

Open tube, copy/paste into canvas, Image/Mirror/Free Rotate left 20.

Apply mask, move down towards the left bottom corner. Change mode to Luminance (L) and reduce opacity to around 80%. 

(If you  use a different tube you may need to experiment a little with this step to get it looking good)

Open moon el. 01, copy/paste into canvas, re-size 60%.

Position top left. Dropshadow.

Open Frame el. 01, copy/paste into canvas, re-size 70%, mirror.

Position right of centre. Dropshadow.

Open paper 05, copy/paste into canvas, Adjust/Hue and Saturation/Colorise H:216, S:30 move below the frame and make a selection a fraction larger than the 

frame opening, invert, delete, deselect to leave as a background to the frame.

Open tube copy/paste into canvas over the frame, re-size to suit, duplicate and position this copy below the frame. 

With your eraser tool, erase away the top copy so it appears out of the frame at the top and left side, inside the frame at the bottom and right then

erase the bottom copy to suit being careful so there is no loss of the tube allowing the background to show through.

(There is probably a better way to do this but once you have practised with the eraser tool a few times you can get

quite proficient at knowing what works and does not.)

Dropshadow the top copy of the tube and erase the shadow where you don’t need it.

Time to add in more elements.

Open Flower Cluster, copy/paste into canvas, re-size 80% position under tubes/frame/ background and to the centre left a little. Dropshadow.

Open cluster el 01, copy/paste into canvas, re-size 40%, , Adjust/Hue and Saturation/Colorise H:216, S:16 position to the bottom right of the frame. Dropshadow. 

Open Flower el 01, copy/paste into canvas, re-size 50%, Adjust/Hue and Saturation/Colorise H:216, S:30 position to the right edge of the frame, over the cluster. Dropshadow.

Open Star el 01, copy/paste into canvas, re-size 40%, Adjust/Hue and Saturation/Colorise H:216, S:16 position bottom centre of the frame. Dropshadow.

Open flower el 03, copy/paste into canvas, re-size 40% position bottom right of the frame. Dropshadow.

Check on how it looks and make any final adjustments, add copyright and licence information 

then close off white background layer and add names as required. 

I used font Burtons Nightmare. 

Export as png on transparent background.
