Becky Mask:

Progress!

I have made huge progress in the past month or 

so in getting my desktop back up! I now have

some of my kits and graphics back. Plus a few 

that I did not have!

I did lose the majority of my recent

creations. Oh well, that is my fault

for not backing up my computer as 

often as I should have! 

As for newer tutorials, I am not sure 

about when it will be that 

I will have any up. However, I 

will be back with one,

as soon as my mojo allows! 

Computer crashed!

A power surge took out my desktop last night.

I am on my laptop right now. 

I lost most of my files. So as soon as I can, I will be posting more tutorials.

I hope to have this lap top up to par where I can

do so. 

Hopefully, I can get most of it done over the weekend. 

See yas soon!

First I want to remind you that I use Paint Shop Pro 9, so all
of my tutorials are based upon using this program. However,
my tutorials should be able to be applied in any application.

The tube I used is Creo from http://www.creddy.at/index.php

St Pattys Day Kit By Mizteeque HERE.

Mask LLM Clover 7 (Masks by Lori2165) Here at the Creative Chicks Blog Creative Chicks Blog HERE.

Font Brannboll small.
I used the Bright Emerald pattern in my PSP for the Background.

Optional-Plug-In: Eye Candy 4000 for the name.
If you do not have this plug-in, you can also use an alternate. See my tutorial on Alternate to Gradient Glow here:

I also gave each template layer a white background noise layer.
To do this, click on the layer with your magic wand. Then, make a new raster layer then
expand selections by 2-3 and  floodfill with white.
Deselect. Now move this layer under your paper. Add noise to your
satisfaction. I used 100% .

Shift D to duplicate- Canvas size 800x800.

Delete or Hide Info and Font Info layers.

For the mask, go to bottom layer, add a new layer,  and
copy and paste Paper 1 into selection.
