Morning Dreams

This tutorial was written by me on September 5 using PSP X4.  All my tutorials assume you have some working knowledge of PSP and/or Animation Shop.

Supplies:

Tube(s) of choice - I'm using the beautiful art of Angela Newman.  You need a license to use her tubes and you can purchase license/tubes at ThePSPProject.

Scrap Kit - I'm using an amazing PTU kit from Gemini's Creationz called " Cheerful Morning".  You can purchase this kit at SATC.

Mask - I used MB & SW mask 32 from Moonbeams & Spiderwebs.  You can download this mask HERE.

Font - I used Aphrodite Pro

To begin open your tube and mask in PSP - minimize for now - open a new 700 x 700 image white background

1.  Copy/paste e12 as new layer - center in canvas - c/p e53 as new layer - resize 110% - center in canvas - using your selection tool - freehand - draw around the frame - c/p paper of choice as new layer - resize by 75% - selections - invert - delete - move paper below frame - leave selected

2.  Copy/paste your tube as new layer - move below frame layer - delete - deselect - drop shadow tube and frame layers - right click on tube layer - change properties to Luminance (L) and opacity to 70

3.  Copy/paste e22 as new layer - resize - position on left side of frame - drop shadow

9.  On white background - copy/paste e2 as new layer - resize if desired - position towards top of tag (see mine) - duplicate - image - flip - on original duplicate again and move down to middle - drop shadow all 3 layers - c/p e5 as new layer - move to bottom of tag - drop shadow - c/p e35 as new layer - position towards top right of tag - duplicate - image - mirror - drop shadow both layers

10.  On white background - c/p another paper as new layer - layers - new mask layer - from image - apply - delete original mask layer - merge group
