I do these tutorials for fun and not
for any profit. I use them also as a learning tool to
help others learn the fun and art of paint shop pro.
Everything I use I have collected don't claim to have
made anything other then the tag.

Notes:
All settings will remain the same unless otherwise noted
This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP
Remember to save often in case your psp crashes.

I did this in PSP 9 but sure any one will work.

Scrapbook kit is the wonderful work of
Immortal Dreams AKA Missy Lynn
It is called Lavender Spring (T)
you can purchase the kit HERE

Supplies:
Tubes of choice.
Font of choice.

Download all supplies needed,
open and minimize them in
your psp.

Place mask in your psp mask folder.

Install any plug ins you need.

Open the template and hit shift D on your key board
and make a duplicate, close the original.
Delete layer 11 you see here in the layer pallet.

Highlight layer 9 select all, select float, select and defloat.
Flood fill with a color you have picked from the tube
your using. #ae6cb6 color I used.......or use scrapbook paper.

Select ~ modify

Add a new layer and flood fill with a nice gold pattern.
Deselect

Layers merge down.

Highlight layer 10 I didn't do anything to that,
layers merge down.

Highlight in your layer pallet layer 2 select
Flood fill layer with a color or a paper from a scrapbook kit.

Select ~ modify ~ Select Selection Borders
same as you just did above.

Add a new layer and flood fill it with the gold patter.

Highlight layer 6 in your layer pallet.

In your layer pallet close off raster 8 and the copy of 8

Now you can un hide layer 8 or not use it at all
It is totally up to you.

Open the tube you wish to you resize as needed.
I used one of the fairies from the kit and resized her
by 20 Percent, move her how you want
then erase any thing you don't want showing
out side the frame.

Give your tube a nice drop shadow.

Layers merge, merge down.

Do the same with the copy of layer 3 as you just did.

I added the fairy again and mirrored her.

If your happy with what you see Layers>Merge>Merge Visible,
What I have so far........I didn't like the stitching around the little frames
so I just deleted it, and didn't like the one on the other frame there you see
in white so deleted it also.

Add a new layer and send to bottom, flood fill with color of choice.
This will be your background.

Now add the mask, the one I supplied or one of choice.
Go to layers > Load saved mask > Load mask from disk
Find your mask, make sure your settings are the same as mine,
and hit load.

in layer pallet delete mask, when asked say yes,
layer merge group.

I duplicated the mask a couple of times so it would stand out.
Close off the merged layer you have and then merge
visible, make sure your on the right layer when doing this.
Re size the mask down about 90 percent.

I gave the masks a drop shadow

Close off your mask and merge all visible layers.
Un-hide the mask layer and with mover tool move things the
way you want them. When happy with it then layer merge down.

Add any accents you want to at this time.
When happy with every thing merge all layers.

Add a new layer and flood fill with a color of choice.
Or you can use a paper from the kit.
Layer arrange and send to bottom.

Highlight your layer 1 and effects
AAA frame works, photo frame.

you might use a different color depends on your background.
I re size my merger layer by 95 percent so it wouldn't over lap
into this next step.

Add a 10 pixel border color of choice, I'm using my back ground color.

AAA frame works texture frame

You can play with the settings until you get what you like.
