Life is a puzzle

2009-07-21T20:42:00.003+01:00

Life is a puzzle

I am using the awesome artwork of Rion Vernon aka Pinuptoons his artwork is available HERE.
Please do not use this tube without the correct licence.

Thanx.

I am using template 24 from Maggie of Magsnificent Creations find it HERE

This tutorial uses DSB flux Bright noise, but if you don’t have that you can use noise that comes with psp.

This tutorial assumes you have prior knowledge of psp and its tools. No scrap kits are used in this tutorial.

ONTO the TUT

Open the template in psp duplicate (shift+D) and save the original for another time, delete the (c) layer, then resize ALL layers by 90%, then go to canvas size and change to 550x500, and re fill the background layer.

Find a premade tag using the same artist you have picked to do the tut with, copy it, then go to BOTTOM SQUARE layer selections ~ select all ~ selections float ~ de float then paste as a new layer, DO NOT move the copied tag to make it fit or the tag u now make will look distorted,

Follow the instructions above for the TOP SQUARE, BOTTOM PUZZLES, MIDDLE PUZZLE & TOP PUZZLE layers. After u have pasted the tag into all the selections you made delete the original layers leaving u with just the tag in place of the layers.

Find the TOP FRAME layer selections ~ select all ~ selections ~float ~de float, then go to plug ins find dsb flux and add the bright noise settings as below.

Do the same with the BOTTOM FRAME layer.
Then add the drop shadow below to all the layers except from the ‘picture’ layers.

Make a gradient using 2 colours from your tube, find the BOTTOM LINES layer, selctions ~ select all ~ selections float ~ de float, then flood fill with your gradient, do the same for the TOP LINES layer, then click on the top lines layer and merge down then add the same drop shadow.
Go to the background layer and add a new raster layer, invert your gradient and floodfill the layer and add a mask of your choice.

Add the tube of your choice and add the same drop shadow to it, re size all layers to your liking, add the (c) info, and the name u wish to use, i added eye candy impact gradient glow at the factory settings to the name.

(I also added the saying ‘Life is a puzzle’ but that’s up to you.)

Re size the tag to your liking and save as a jpeg.

Find a nice thick font (I used BEblob) i used size 72 stroke 2 Vector. The colours I used were #000000 (top box) #df6680 (bottom box)

I messed about with the settings until I got one that I thought was the closest to the ladybird.

Find the ladybird and resize by 60% smartsize then go to adjust and sharpen, duplicate this layer and mirror put one at each side of your name. Find TP chain 1 resize by 60% sharpen then add at the bottom of you name UNDER the ladybirds, if you need to use the deform tool to make sure there are no sticky outy bits. Add the same drop shadow to all the layers.

Go to raster 1 add a new layer a floodfill it i used #efa7b6

Colours of the Rainbow

2009-05-03T11:24:00.004+01:00

Colours of the rainbow

This is what we will be making

Or this if you animate

I am using the art of Andrea Young which was a freebie from CILM at Christmas; please do not use this image unless you have a licence to do so.

Template by me HERE
Muras clouds HERE
Beckys mask 033 HERE
Xenoflex2 constellation (if animating)

The TUT

Download the supplies and open them in psp, canvas size 600X600. shift+D to duplicate my template, then close the original, delete the (c) layer and the background layer, add a new layer in its place and use a nice blue colour I used #30baf7 apply mura’s clouds with these settings

When u have applied this add mask and deform until it fits the tag nicely.

Select the rainbow layers one by one... selections ~ select all~ selections ~float ~selctions ~defloat then go selections ~modify expand by 1... new layer and floodfill with a rainbow gradient of your choice. Do this till all the rainbow layers are filled then delete the original layers.

Then add a drop shadow to each layer I used 1, 1, 50, 2 colour black.

Add your tube resize to your liking, and ad a drop shadow of 5,5,50,5 black to the tube.

Move the word art up slightly so the tube doesn’t hide it lol

Add your name and (c) info resize to your liking, and save as a Jpeg.

If you wish to animate read on

Merge all the rainbow layers together then duplicate x2 so you have 3 layers.
On the bottom layer apply xenoflex 2 constellation with the settings below

Then apply to the middle layer but hit the random seed button a couple of times, do the same for the top layer.

Then x off the top and middle rainbow layers, edit copy merged, go to AS paste as a new animation, X out that layer in psp and un X the middle layer then edit copy merged AS paste AFTER current frame then do the same again for the top layer, don’t forget to resize the animation, and save.

Picture This

2009-04-26T21:57:00.003+01:00

Picture this

Supplies needed HERE

3 tubes of you own choice WSL mask 181 HERE navigate ~ downloads ~ and find the right number :)

I am using the artwork of Pinuptoon's which are only available for CILM HERE

The tut

Open a new raster layer 600*600 Flood fill with white Copy and paste the Polaroid tube as a new layer.

Click inside the black area of the first Polaroid with your magic wand with the following setting like so

Find the first tube you are using re size to your liking, ( I resized mine by 60% smart size as this stops the jaggered edge on the tube )
Then copy and pate as a new layer move the tube into the picture then selections invert then click delete on your keyboard, selections select none. It should look something like this.

Repeat this process with the other 2 pictures making sure that u always go back to the Polaroid layer when using the magic wand. When u have finished you should have something like this.

Go to the very bottom layer and add a new layer flood fill it with a colour that matches with your tubes Open WSL mask 181 then go to layers ~ new mask layer ~from image ~ click the drop down box and find WSL mask 181 source luminance ticked invert mask unticked like so

then click ok

Then your layer palette should look something like this Right click the layer that says mask and merge group. You should have something like this

Staying on the mask layer re size this layer ONLY by 85% bicubic. Then in the layer palette move the opacity to around 50% like so

Make sure you are on the top layer and add the word art as a new layer re-size by 85% Bicubic then colorize to your like. To colourize got to the colour you used for the mask layer and look at the colours numbers and remember the ones i have circled. Then go to Adjust ~hue and saturation ~colourise~ and in the 2 boxes put the 2 numbers u have just remembered. In my case it was 10 & 109 look at the screen shot below.

Effects 3 d effect drop shadow with the following settings

Add your name (I added the same drop shadow to my name ) and © info. Now if u want to stop there u can do, just save merge layers flatten and save as a Jpg. If u want to animate then carry on after u have added the name and © info.

To animate

Merge visible the 3 tubes u placed in the Polaroid and put the opacity down to nil edit copy merged then open animation shop and paste as a new animation, back to psp change the opacity on the merged layer to 26 edit copy merged animation shop edit past AFTER the current layer back to psp change the opacity to 30 edit copy merged edit paste AFTER current layer carry on doing this changing the opacity a little bit at a time until u have the opacity on 100%

Lustrous Libra

2009-04-13T21:22:00.003+01:00

This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of psp and some of its tools.

To complete this tutorial you will need;

A tube of choice. Im using the gorgeous art work of David Boller www.tuskentertainment.com .

To use his art you must purchase a license from Up Your Art first.

Mura's Meister Copies

Alien skin Xenofex 2 constellation (optional as its only for animation)

Font/s of choice

and

My supplies which can be found here :].

Open a new image 650x650 transparent canvas. Floodfill with white.

Open the scales and sky cloud from my supplies and minimise the sky cloud for now.

Copy and paste the scales onto the canvas and go to mura's copies.
Select Encircle and apply as below -

Choose a nice pastel colour from your tube as your background. Foreground on nil.

Grab your preset shape tool set on circle and draw out a medium sized circle on your canvas and move below the scales layer. Ensure the edges of the circle meet with the top line of the scales and then convert to raster. If the circle is too small or too big play about with the nodes until its the right size before converting.

Go to Adjust, Blur, Gausian blur with a radius of 8-10 depending on the colour you selected, apply.
Repeat.

Copy and paste the skycloud on to your canvas and duplicate. Keep one at the top and X it out.
Move one below your blurred circle layer. Duplicate this a few times until you have covered all the edges of the circle with it. You might want to rotate or mirror the duplicates to get a better difference around the edges.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer. Move it below the top sky cloud layer and un X that skycloud now.
Duplicate the skycloud and then flip and mirror it. Place the duplicate next to the first to cover the lower section of your tube. Merge these two visable.

Hide all layers except for the lower sky cloud layers. Merge them visable. Add a drop shadow of choice in WHITE.

Un X all other layers.

If your animating your tag follow the next steps if not please skip them and go straight to the text addition further down.
Activate your tube layer and duplicate for a total of 4.

X out the bottom one and the top two. With your remaining tube layer active go to xenofex 2 constellation and apply with the following settings -

Repeat this for the next two higher tube layers pressing random seed once each time.
X out all xenofex layers.

Join back here if you skipped the animation.

Activate the top layer in your canvas and grab your preset shape tool set on elipse. Line width of 5, background nil, foreground black.

Draw out a circle lining it up with the outside of the scales. Dont convert to raster!!
Grab your text tool and hold your cursor over the elipse you have just drawn until it changes into an A and then click, choose a font , change the foreground and background to gold or any other colour of choice and type out your title, I wrote Lustrous Libra.

When done Click the + in your layer pallette next to the vector layers and X out the elipse layer. Right click the text layer, Convert to raster.

Use the same method to add your copyright and if needed license info and taggers mark if required.

Change your foreground and background to the same colour as your inner circle and type out your name over the skycloud layer in the lower part of the tag. Once satisfied with it convert to raster and add a gradient glow or drop shadow of choice to the text.

Drop shadow any other layers you want to and resize all layers to your liking.

If you arent animating save your tag in your preferred format and thank you for trying my tutorial :].

If you are animating un X the first xenofex layer and right click the top bar of your image, copy merged, over to animation shop, paste as new animation.

Back to psp, X out the first xenofex layer, Un X the middle one, copy merged, into animation shop, paste after current frame.

Back to psp again, X the middle xenofex layer, Un X the top one, copy merged, into animation shop, Paste after current frame.

Right click view animation, save as .gif and your done!

I Want Candy Taggers scrap kit

2009-04-05T16:47:00.004+01:00

I've been a member of Slimming world for almost 12 weeks now and i've lost over 11lbs which is fab but somedays i still get those cravings for sweeties lol
I had a major sweetie craving today so instead of stuffing my face with random sugary snacks i decided to create my first ever scrap kit based on sweets instead.
So heres the result. It has lots of elements (i lost count lol) and 13 papers.
The previews are below and the download link is below those :].
If you do download it please try to leave a comment or a thankyou and if you create anything with it I'd love to see!

Theres no dropshadow on the actual items, only on the previews here.

Hmm and blogger and photobucket have made the preview of the elements all "bitty" they arent rough edged in reality, only on the preview. All elements are not shown either but are in the kit itself :]

Lucious Leo

2009-04-04T18:23:00.003+01:00

Lucious Leo Tutorial

Written by Laura aka Pink Princess on march 31st 2009.

For this tutorial you will need -

Tube of choice. I have used a gorgeous Leo tube by Mariya Nikiforova which i purchased from My PSP Tubes.
If you want to use the same tube you MUST buy it from MPT first.

1 or 2 fonts of choice.
Golden memories scrap kit from Sabre of Quill and parchment he has some lovely kits, and other goodies please take time to browse while you're there.
You can download this kit Here on his blog. Please leave a thankyou if you do download.

My Leo template (in supplies).

Mask of choice.

Eyecandy HSB Noise for animation.

My supplies.

You will need a working knowledge of psp to do this tutorial and a bit of patience lol

Ok lets get going!

Open the template, tube and your mask in psp. Minimise all but the template for now.
On the template go to image, Canvas Size, and change it to 650x650.
Activate the background layer and fill white at the transparent edge.

Now this may take you a few minutes but its worth doing it properly for a fab tag finish!
Take your magic wand, on the following settings
Mode= add/shift tollerance 10, anti alias and contingious checked.
Activate the Outline layer on the template and click inside the lions face, it might take a few clicks to select all of it.
Once done, selections modify, expand by 2.
Add a new layer below the outline layer and floodfill the face sections a colour of choice.
Deselect.

Now we're going to colour his mane.

Take your magic wand and activate the outline layer again. Select roughly every 3rd space of the mane.
Add a new layer and drop it below the outline layer but keep it active.
Selections, modify, expand by 2. Floodfill a colour of choice. I used a pale brown at this stage.
Deselect.
While still on the same layer check for any tiny little spaces you may have missed that should be the same colour and using your freehand tool carefully select around each space. Selections, modify, expand by 1-2 depending on how accurate your freehand was. Floodfill with the same colour.
Deselect.

Pick another lion-ish colour. I chose a pale yellow this time. And taking your magic wand on the same settings, activate your outline layer again and select some more spaces. Aiming for half of the ones left blank now.
Once you've selected the ones you want, selections, modify, expand by 2. Add a new layer, drop below the outline layer and floodfill the selections with your chosen colour.
Dont deselect yet! Take your freehand tool and select any tiny spaces the wand couldnt get to, modify expand by 1-2 depending on your freehand accuracy, flood fill the tiny selections.
Deselect.

Repeat the above steps with a 3rd and final colour. I used an orangey colour.

Add a nice eye colour by selecting the iris area and colouring blue/green/brown whichever you prefer.

Hooray all fiddly bits are done!

Now hide your outline layer and background layer and merge visable the others. Unhide the outline and background and activate the outline layer again.
Grab your magic wand on the same settings as before and this time select all the spaces in front of the lions face and the gap between the edges of the circle and the face. Set your foreground to a gradient of choice. I used the metalic gold that comes with psp 9. Set to radial, add a new layer and drop it below the outline layer.
Selections, modify, expand by 2-3 see which looks best on your tag then floodfill this layer with the gradient.
Deselect.
Duplicate this gradient layer for a total of 3.

On the bottom layer add eyecandy HSB noise with the following settings -

Activate the second layer and add the same settings again but press the random seed button once.
Activate the last of the 3 gradient layers and apply the settings again pressing random seed once more.

Now activate the background layer.
Choose a paper from Sabre's golden memories kit and copy and paste it as a new layer just above the background.
Layers, new mask layer, from image. Browse to your mask in the dropdown box and apply with luminance checked. Right click this layer in the pallete and merge group.
I duplicated my mask and rotated the duplicate a little to make it seem like there were more flares.

Choose any elements and embelishments you like from the kit and resize and place them where required.

Now set your foreground onto some crazy colour like neon green, one that really clashes with your tag and background on nil.
Grab your preset shape tool set on elipse, line width of 3 and draw out a circle the same size as the lion template.
Select your text tool and choose a font, hold your mouse over the top left edge of the circle and when you see your curser turn into an A click. Now change the colour of your background to a complimentary colour from your tag and turn the foreground off. Size of around 40, type out Lucious Leo, or any other phrase you like.
Click the + sign next to the vector layer in your pallette and X out the elipse layer. Then right click and convert to raster.
Add bevel or filters to your text now.
Add a drop shadow too if desired.

Add your tube and a dropshadow of choice.

Using the same background colour grab your text tool again and type out your name/text at the bottom. Convert to raster and add any text effects you desire.
Add all © information and license number if required.

Now X off the top two gradient layers in your pallette. Right click the top bar of your canvas and copy merged.
Paste into Animation shop as a new animation.
Back to psp, un X the middle gradient layer and right click, copy merged again.
Back into ani shop, paste after current frame.
Back into psp, un X the top gradient layer and right click, copy merged.
Back into ani shop paste after current frame.
View your animation!
If you like the speed then save as gif. and your done.
If you'd prefer it faster or slower play around with the frame properties until you have the speed you want.

Thanks for trying my tutorial :]

Typical Taurus Tutorial

2009-03-29T17:50:00.002+01:00

Typical Taurus

A tutorial written by Laura aka Pink Princess on march 29th 2009.

For this tutorial you will need -
My typical taurus template included in the supplies.

A tube of choice. Im using a gorgeous taurus tube from Mariya Nikiforova if you want to use the one im using you must purchase it from MPT first.

A scrap kit of choice or the one im including which is Dusty Delights by Fee of Scrappy Dayz.
Or if you prefer just choose some colours to match your tube :].

Toadies - what are you.

Font of choice or the one im using which is a freebie called "Never let go" included in my supplies.

Optional for your name/text - Eyecandy 4000 gradient glow.

My supplies.

Ok on to the fun stuff!

Open your supplies in psp and open up the tube your going to be using.

Activate the template and press shift+D to duplicate. Close the original and delete the info layer from the remaining one.

Activate the inner circle layer, select all, float, defloat, expand by 1 and floodfill a dark colour from your tube. Deselect.

Activate the taurus frame layer, select all, float, defloat, expand by 2. Copy and paste paper 1 from Fee's kit as a new layer (or a paper of your choice). Selections, Invert, hit delete on the paper layer. Deselect. Delete taurus frame layer.

Activate the inner taurus layer. Select all, float, defloat, expand by 1. Copy and paste paper 4 from the kit. Selections, invert. Press delete on the paper layer. Deselect. Delete inner taurus layer.

Follow the same steps above for the rectangle inner, rectangle outer and TAURUS layers. Either copying and pasting papers or floodfilling with complimentary colours.

Ok now activate the bull layer. Colourise him to match your frames, i made mine a nice deep pink like the inner circle.
Resize him by 84% once, and again if he looks a bit big lol i forgot how many times i resized, but it wasnt more than twice. Now duplicate this layer a few times so you have bulls all inside the inner taurus frame. Mirror a few for prettyness. Then merge all the little bull shapes together. Once merged move this layer down so its just above the inner taurus frame.

Activate the inner taurus frame and select all, float, defloat, expand by 1, invert. Activate the bull layer and press delete. Deselect.
Change the blend mode of this bull layer to dodge.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer. If your using a laying down tube like mine place it so its above the TAURUS text layer but below the typically layer. Resize to your liking and add a drop shadow of choice. I used H+V 2 opacity 52 blur 6 black.

Go back to the scrap kit, copy and paste a frame of choice, i chose the pink one :].
Image, rotate, free rotate, left 90.
Resize it by 86% and place it as mine.
Duplicate this layer and on the original, not the duplicate go to Effects, Toadies, What are you? with both X and Y on 20.

Activate the Typically layer, select all, float, defloat, expand by 1 and then change your foreground to either a patern paper or a colour of choice and activate your brush tool. Brush in gentle strokes over the selected text. Dont cover all of it yet. Change your foreground to a complimentary colour/paper/pattern and repeat the brushing until all the text is covered.

Now add your © info and any license numbers needed.
Add your name/text and resize/crop to your liking.
Add drop shadows to frame layers and any others you like.

If you feel it looks naked without a mask feel free to add one now :].

Thats it we're done!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and thanks for giving it a go!

2009-03-28T11:29:00.003Z

Blowing Bubbles

This is what we will be making :)

SUPPLIES NEEDED

Template 2 by me HERE
Tube of your choice, I used one by Rion Vernon
Only available at CILM do not use this tube without a licence to do so.
CILM have a great sale on atm so nip over there quick!
Mask of choice I used Beckys mask 022 which is available in my supplies as her site is now closed
Scrap set or colours of choice
DSB flux available HERE
MY SUPPLIES HERE (includes mask, template and a text link to dsb flux)

Now you have the supplies onto the tut.

Open Template 2 shift+D to duplicate it and close the original so you can use it again and again lol.

Delete the (c) layer

Image canvas size 600x600
Delete my black background layer and add a new layer in its place flood fill with white so you can see what you are doing

Go to the rectangle inner layer selections~ select all ~select float~ select defloat, Selections ~ modify expand by 1 add a new layer and fill it with your scrap paper or colour of your choice, (I filled it with a gradient of #c06384 and #eab4c7) Then delete the original layer. Go to the rectangle frame and add a drop shadow of 2-2-50-5 (colour black)

Go to circle inner and repeat the step above.

Click onto the circle frame layer u have just added drop shadow to with your magic wand and add DSB flux Bright noise intensity 29 repeat with the rectangle frame layer. Then add a drop shadow of -2 -2 50 5 (black) to these frames.

Add your tube as a new layer and re- size to suit. (I mirrored and resized to 70% smart size then adjust sharpen ~sharpen.)

Grab your free hand tool and make a selection around the bubbles, then duplicate this layer x2 so you have 3 bubble layers. Go to the bottom bubble layer and add DSB flux intensity 29, then to the middle layer and add the same filter BUT click the mix button once, then the top layer and click the mix button twice selections ~select none.

Go to the circle frame layer grab your magic wand and click inside the circle frame selections~ modify ~ expand by 8. Go back to your tube original size and paste as a new layer, selections ~ invert and press delete on your keyboard then drag this tube layer below your circle frame layer.

Back to your rectangle fill layer add a new layer and add some brushes of your choice. (if u use a scrap paper u don’t have to do this step)

Go to the bottom layer add a new layer and flood fill with a colour of your choice and I added Beckymask022. Merge ~ merge group then grab your deform tool and deform till it fits your tag to your liking.

Add your name and (c) info. Crop to a size of your liking and open animation shop
Nearly there now lol

To animate

Close of the middle and top bubble layers edit copy merge Go to AS and paste as a new animation back to psp close off the bottom layer open the middle layer ~copy merged and back to AS paste AFTER current layer, then close off that layer in psp and open the top layer edit ~ copy merged ~ paste AFTER current layer in AS
Re size to your liking and save all done.

This tutorial is completely out of my own head and any similarities to any other tutorials is coincidental. Feel free to make a text only link to this tutorial, but no not share any of the supplies elsewhere please send them here to grab them
Thankyou

2009-03-25T21:44:00.004Z

Looking for Rainbows

The ideas behind this tutorial are completely my own from my own little head and any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.

I have used the gorgeous art work of Marco Guaglione. If you would like to use the same image you must have a license with My PSP Tubes. This tube was a freebie but these are only available for use with your license number so please visit MPT to get one before using this artist’s work, thanks :).

Ok on to the fun part!

You will need -

Rainbow template from my blog.

While there also snag the rainbow wordart or you can recolor the word art that comes with the template - it’s up to you.

I have used Vix mask 44 which you can download from her site - here scroll right to the bottom of the page, i promise it is there hehe.

I’ve also used papers and colours from Steffy’s debut mini kit “little girls’” which can be found here.

You will need eyecandy 4000 hsb noise for animating or you can create your own animation effect.

Ok now we have everything let’s get going!

First open up the supplies in psp and minimise the mask and any tube you are using for now.

Activate the template and hold shit+D to duplicate. Close the original and delete the info layer from the remaining template.

Activate inner circle layer, select all, float, defloat, expand by 1, now either copy and paste a paper of your choice or flood fill a colour of choice. I used paper 5 from the kit. Selections, invert, on the paper layer press delete. Delete inner circle layer. If you flood filled do not delete this layer!! Deselect.

Activate sun layer, select all, float, defloat, expand by 2, floodfill a nice bright yellow. Don’t deselect yet! Go to effects, texture effects, textures, then choose a nice papery texture for the sun. Now deselect.

Activate the circle frame, select, float, defloat, expand by 2, and either paste your paper or floodfill with a complimentary colour. If you paste a paper don’t forget to invert and delete on the paper layer. Deselect.

Activate Rainbow 1, select, float, defloat, expand by 1, floodfill a colour of choice, deselect. Repeat for rainbow 2-5. Now hide all layers except for the 5 rainbow layers and merge visible. Unhide other layers.

Activate rainbow layer, adjust softness, soften. This just gets rid of any sharpness left by floodfilling.

Activate left heart, select, float, defloat, expand by 1, floodfill a nice medium pink colour. Deselect. Repeat for Right heart. Change the blend mode on both these layers to Colour. You might notice some rainbow poking through into the back of the hearts. If you do take your eraser tool, size 10, hardness around 50, activate the rainbow merged layer and carefully delete anything showing through the hearts.

Take the downloaded word art and copy and paste on to your canvas. Delete the word art that came with the template if you are using the downloaded one. If you are recolouring the wordart that is on the template do that now. To make the downloaded wordart fit exactly, take your deform tool and slowly stretch it out to shape. Once finished adjust, sharpness, sharpen.

Now go to canvas size and change it to 650 x 650. Activate the background layer and floodfill white. Add a new layer above this, flood fill this layer with a colour or gradient of your choice. I used the basic rainbow gradient in psp set on radial.

Layers, new mask layer, from image. Find the Vix 44 mask or the mask you are using and apply with luminance checked. Right click this layer in your layer palate and merge group. Set the opacity down to around 30 and duplicate for a total of 3 layers.

On the first go to effects, plug ins, EyeCandy 4000 and choose hsb noise with these settings

– apply.

Repeat for the other two mask layers but press the random seed button on each before applying.

Now take the tube you are going to be using. Copy and paste it as a new layer, ensuring its above the sun layer but below the frame. Resize it to suit and then click inside the circle frame with your magic wand. Modify expand by 5, invert, on tube layer, delete, select none.

Duplicate this tube layer and on each go to adjust, softness, soften. Then change the blend mode on both to Hard Light.

OK are you still with me?lol

On to the name.

Take your preset shape tool on elipse, background nil, foreground something clashing like black or bright purple and line width on 3ish. Draw out an elipse shape that fits just inside the circle frame. When you’re happy with the shape and size go to image, flip and move it back into position at the bottom of the frame.

Take your text tool, choose font, colours etc and type out your name. It should be appearing the same way as mine, on the inside of the frame. Once your happy with the size and placement of your name click the little + symbol in the layer palate next to the text you just created and x out the elipse layer. Then convert to raster.

Add any drop shadows, effects, embellishments of your choosing now and resize/crop to your liking.

X out the two top mask layers and right click on your image, select copy merged. Launch animation shop and paste as new animation.

Back to psp, X out the bottom mask layer, un X the middle mask layer, right click, copy merged, over to animation shop, paste after current frame.

Back to psp again x out the middle layer, un x the top mask layer, right click, copy merged, animation shop, paste after current frame. Now view your animation! Don’t forget to save and do any more resizing if needed.

Phew that took a lot of explaining but yay my first ever tutorial is written. Thank you for taking the time to do it and I’d love to see your results :D

Woo hoo!

Welcome to our blog.

In true Steffy and Laura style we decided on a whim to have a blog and from there our idea just spiralled out until we have what you see today.

As this is our launch week expect mistakes (heck expect mistakes all the time lol) but also expect the unexpected. This blog isn't just for psp shares its also somewhere we'll write about the funny and weird things that happen in our lives. And we hope you'll enjoy reading those parts as well as snagging the freebies.

As we are brand new we dont have a creative team or any other kinda team yet but if you want to use our creations in your tutorials we will most likely agree so long as its fitting with our TOU.

Please feel free to grab our blinkie (which as i type is a work in progress haha) and we'll gladly share yours here too.

Im going to get to the blogroll thingy v soon too so please do bear with us.

The excitement of launch day and creating fab new stuff got in the way of the serious things.

Which brings me to our layout. It isnt fancy, html'y, funky, cool or anything else amazing - yet! We have to work on this too but our header will be staying and was made with the kit of a good friend of ours, Gail from Aussie scrap designs :D.

Gail makes some gorgeous kits, elements, overlays and millions of other pretty psp supplies. Please do visit her blog and/or store when you get the chance and have a good look around. Shes always adding new things and im sure you'll find something you like!

If you have some time and are looking for some inspiration, psp or otherwise, take a look at our links over there ---->

Fantasy is full of tuts, challenges and friendship

and

Stars is Steffys personal group (where you can usually find both of us lurking) that deals with all things psychic, ghostly and friendly too!

We'd love to see you over in both places soon :].

From this intro you have probably guessed we can talk forever :D. So ill wrap it up now with a final sentence -

Bookmark us and keep popping back, new stuff will be added all the time!
