Artist: Angie Monasterio

Template by: Spawn Forum Template #145

Xero: Porcelian

Penta: Dot and Cross

This tutorial is a little different, no scraps were used, but doesn't mean creativity is limited. 

I wanted to show off Angie Monasterio art.  This beauty of a tube I choosed is my favorite, she's got my favorite colors purple and blue, so of course I had to get her.

Are you ready people, 

Get your Corel PSP X2 warmed up cause here we go....

Open Spawn's template 145

Everything is all together thanks to Spawn, cause he is just so helpful.

Click on the last layer of the template, hold down SHift+L, to colorize your BG.

I choose the color closer to purple.  

Then when you got your color established.  

go to your Effects: choose penta.com plug-in: and choose Dot and Cross.

Follow my picture tip so you know what sizes your looking for.

I did my tiny dots, but you can do large ones if you wish to.

Remember all I want is what your comfortable with. 

Play with the sizes.

If not follow mine :)

After you've finished your BG layer, head to your Film Lines layer of the template.

Same steps as what I had explain earlier, we are going to colorize these film lines as well.

so pick any color you wish, I chose a lighter purple.  And added a drop shadow for the film lines.

And do the same for the right and left film layers. 

I also applied a porcelain effect to Angie art. And to make her pop out more I added a drop shadow.

Then center her in the middle of your banner.

Add your copyrights, and license number.

Add your name, and tada. You are finished with the non-animated version of the banner.

To ANIMATE (OPTIONAL):

-Now if you are familiar with Jasc animation Program, you can add multiple colors to the right and left film layers, like I have done.  And merge them frame by frame, copy and paste them into your jasc animation program, and select the transition effects option, from there you pick FADE.-

Leave everything as is, don't adjust layers or frame, and click OK .

You should see a transitional fade effect of your multi colored layers.

And then save your animation as gif. file

Enjoy my tutorial :)

You must have working knowledge of Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 or newer

By the way I always start my canvas's at 650x650 , but you are free to open a canvas bigger or smaller, and scale the elements to the size you want.  But if you are like me, keep reading on, thanks. 

Okay Ready, set, GO!

Open a 650 x 650 new canvas, 

Open frame kk_frame1, copy and paste in the center of your new canvas, now for these nezt steps simply remember you are arranging the elements under and around the frame, duplicate as much as you need, follow my signature for example.  

 Next open these elements, and be sure to apply Drop Shadow to each

Open-kk_leaf1 , re-size to 60%

Open- kk_leaf2, re-size to 60%

Open- kk_leaf3, re-size to 40%

Open- kk_leaves1, re-size it to 80%

Open- kk_leaves2, re-size it to 60%

Open- kk_rope2, re-size it to 80%.

Open- kkpaper8, re-size to 50%, <---make sure you paste this under your frame!

Open- kk_ground, re-size to 80%,

Open- kk_hill, re-size to 50%,

Open- kk_plant2, re-size it to 80%, <-make sure to go to.... Image-> and click on "Rotate Right"

Open- kk_tall grass, re-size it 80%,

Open -kk_mushroom, re-size 40%,

Open- kk_grass, 

Open- kk_fawn1, re-size to 40%,

Open- kk_vines,

Open- kk_pinecone, re-size to 10% <-- duplicate a few cones and place them around the grass.

Now that you have re-sized these elements according to my sizes, added the drop shadows to all. Except for the grass.

Now off to your tube, first find a nice close up tube, I choosed Henning Ludvigsen artwork.  His close up artwork, "The Asend," is just perfect for Karra's Outdoor Odyssey kit.  

Place your close up tube under your frame.  Apply a drop shadow, and your almost done ;).

Now Add your copyrights of your tube and your license.

Add your name.

And your done.
