LOST IN THOUGHT



This tutorial was written by Whippy on March 28
th 2023.

A general knowledge of PSP is needed.

My ideas are my own, any similarity to another is purely coincidental & certainly unintentional.

Supplies Needed:-

Tube of choice – I used Candy Doll by Vadis, this can be purchased at Pics For Design  HERE (used with license)

Scrap Kit of choice – The kit I used is a PTU called Amore by Wicked Diabla HERE

Mask – 036 by Karamlized Kreationz HERE

Font of choice – I used England which you can get HERE

Filters used – Gradient Glow (Eye Candy 4000) This is optional.

I use drop shadow with the settings throughout as needed.

H – 0

V – 5

Opacity – 25

Blur – 15

Open new image 800 x 800

Select all, I used paper 4 from my kit, copy & paste into selection, deselect.

Apply mask from image.

Resize your tube 42% and paste as a new layer, move to the right.

I chose a frame element (25) from my kit resized to 60%

Paste as a new layer. Use the magic wand tool and click inside the frame, go to selections, expand by 5

Duplicate your mask layer, selections, invert, hit delete, deselect.

Duplicate your tube layer and move it under the frame, repeat the above steps that you did on the mask layer.

Change to hard light and reduce opacity to 75%.

Once you are happy with the frame merge the duplicated mask & tube layers add your drop shadow to the frame and merge together. Duplicate this layer go to free rotate and rotate 25 to the left.

Free rotate the original frame layer 12 to the left.

Now use different elements to dress up your frame. I used

5, 45, 54, 95, 98 & 118. See finished tag for placements.

I also used the teddy bear, cup and saucer & the cake stand elements. But it's your choice.

Once you are happy with the placements merge visible and add your copyright information, a pixel font is best for those.

Add your name text and the gradient glow if you prefer.

Merge visible & save as png.
