First Video Tutorial



This tutorial was written by me for those that have a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.
 Any similarity to other tutorials is not intentional.

Sorry this is really rubbish but its the first tutorial I recorded and uploaded to youtube so please dont be too harsh lol.
Part one of the video is Here.
Part two of the video is Here.

Supplies:

Tube of Choice. I am using Keith Garvey. If you want to use the same tube you must purchase it, and have license to use it from Here.
Scrapkit - I used an really beautiful kit called I'll Love You Forever, Which you can download Here. Thank you for this beautiful kit.
Template - I used Template 168 which you can get it Here.

Mask of choice. I used WSL_Mask26 which you can get Here.
Filters - Eye Candy 4000 gradient glow.
Font of choice, I used Al Sandra which you can get Here.
Ok lets get started.
Open WSL_Mask26.
Open your template and delete the credits layer.
Then click on your background layer and go to Layers - New Raster Layer - Flood fill this layer with White.
Go to layers - New mask layer - From Image - Then in the pull down menu find your mask - Source Luminance. Invert mask data NOT ticked. Merge group.
Layers - Duplicate - Image Mirror. This is just to make sure the mask covers the whole background area.
Ok now we are going to add papers to all the template layers, We do this by clicking on each layer and then going to Selections - Select all - Float - Defloat, copy and paste your paper then go to Selections - Invert - Hit the delete key and select none, And delete the original template layer.

Ok now add these papers to the following layers:
Paper 8 - Raster 4.
Paper 9 - Raster 2.
Paper 8 - Raster 3.
Paper 9 - Raster 2.
Paper 9 - Raster 6.
Paper 8 - Raster 7.
Paper 9 - Raster 12.
Paper 8 - Raster 13.
Now add both your tubes.

Now I like to sharpen each layer except the mask so to do that just go to Adjust - Sharpness - Sharpen and do this to all the layers I find it makes the tag look much more clear.

Make sure you add dropshadow to all the layers as well, I used 2, 2, 35, 4, Black.

Then add your name with a font of choice I used Al Sandra.

If you have any problems please let me know.
