Eclipse of the Heart

To complete this tutorial, you will need the following items:

PSP ( I used version 9 but it should work in ANY version!)

I used a template made by me. You can get it HERE

Scrap kit of choice or the one I'm using by Designs by Stina called
"Eclipse of the Heart - Edward".

You may link to my tutorial for group use.

All set? Let's go! This will be an easy one. Using templates has got to be the easiest thing ever!

First of all, hit shift D to duplicate the template so you will be able to use it again!

I closed off the copyright layer, the background layer and the large circle layer.

I used the moon from the kit to replace the large circle on the template.

Make "rectangle" active. Selections>Select All>Float>Defloat. Copy and paste a paper of choice as a new layer. I used Paper12. Selections>Invert>Delete. Selections>Select None.

You can now either delete the "rectangle" layer or close the eye next to it in your layer palette.

I repeated the above steps with the "medium circle" layer and used Paper17 and then on "small circle" layer, used Paper03. Drop shadows were added at this point.

You can now either delete the circle layers or close the eye next to it in your layer palette.

I adjusted the color of both border layers. Adjust>Color Balance>Manual Color Correction. I used the 2 shades of blue from the papers.

Add as few or as many elements as you like!
Add drop shadow to your elements.

Now all thats left is adding a tube of your choice or one from the kit.
I gave the tube the same small drop shadow as all my layers
and positioned mine to the left so that the word art I chose would fit nicely.

Add your text and copyright. If you want a transparent tag, save as a .png.

Feel Lucky?

This tutorial was written by me on March 9, 2009. It is entirely my own idea and any similarities to any other tutorial online are purely coincidence.

For this tutorial, you will need:
Template #129 by Gina's Gems. You can find it HERE. Gina has many awesome templates to choose from. Dont forget to leave her some love.

Font of your choice. I used GiddyUp and applied Eye Candy 5 Glass plug-in but that is optional.

Scrap kit of choice, or the one I used called St. Patrick's Day by Annie's Designs. It's a beautiful kit and it's available in tagger size.You can find it HERE . Check out Annie's other great products while you're there!

Tube of choice. I am using the awesome artwork of Rachael Huntington. You can purchase it HERE. Please dont use the same tube without the proper licensing!

Open your template. Shift + D to Duplicate and close off the original for now. I closed off the Credit layer, the white background layer, greyscaled glittered shamrocks and the doodles layer. As there are so many great elements in the kit to use.

Click on the Frame layer to make it active. Click on the layer on your template with your Magic Wand set to Feather 2. Open a paper of choice. I used Paper10. Copy and Paste onto your template as a new layer. Selections, invert and hit delete to get rid of the excess.
Selections, None.

Click on the Fill layer to make it active. Same steps as before with your Magic Wand. I flood filled with Black but you can use another paper if you would like. Selections, None.

Click on the 2 rectangles layer and repeat the above steps.
I flood filled with a light shade of green.

Click on the Small Shanrock layer and repeat the above steps.
I flood filled with a dark shade of green.

Use the Move Tool and move the glitter shamrocks where you like them.
I duplicated mine and used the Eraser tool to remove excess.

Next I opened Gemstone2 from the kit and pasted it behind the all the template layers and moved it to the top left of the canvas. Duplicate/ Mirror / Flip to get one on the bottom right.

Next I added Clover2 and positioned it on the top right of my Black Fill layer. I duplicated to make it look more 3-D. Merge, Merge Down. Duplicate/Mirror/Flip to get it on the bottom left of your Black Fill Layer.

I added a small drop shadow to ALL layers at this point but that choice is yours.

Time to add your tube of choice. I added mine and centered her.
I added a small drop shadow to her as well.

Add any other embellishments you wish at this point.

I resized before I added my copyright info.
Layers/Merge/Merge Visible. I resized to 475 pixels.
Add your copyright and credits. Layers/Merge/Merge Visible.

I decided to add the name in the same yellow/gold color as the shamrocks.
I added glass effect to it to make it look similar to them as well.

Thank you for trying my tut. I hope you enjoyed it!
