Paddy's Blessing

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.

                                   Add  mask -LLM Clover 7 from image, then  resize it  by 102%.

Do the same with Paper 9, but resize it by 105%.

Large green rectangle -- Paper 7 into selection. Delete or hide template layer.

Black circle-- Paper 5 Pasted into selection. Delete or hide template layer.

Small orange circle-- Paper 3 pasted into selection. Delete or hide template layer.

Green rectangle --Paper 4 pasted into selection. Delete or hide template layer.

Black rectangle -- Paper 6. Delete or hide template layer.

Orange rectangle -- Paper 1. Delete or hide template layer.

Taupe oval -- Paper 2. Delete or hide template layer.

Dotted oval-- Manual Color correction to a green color.
Here are my settings:

Black strip -- paper 8 as a new layer and resize by 65% and move it to where you like it. Selections invert and delete.
This layer I expanded by 2 for the white with noise. Delete or hide template layer.

Grey strp --Paper 3 as a new layer and resize by 65% and move it to where you like it. Selections invert and delete.
This layer I expanded by 2 for the white with noise. Delete or hide template layer.

For the Shamrocklayer, I used the Manual color correction to change the color to #35810a. Then I gave it an Inner bevel.

Duplicate the shamrock and Resize by 50% and duplicate a few more times and place them around the tag.

I used word art option 4 recolorable  With shadow on new layer.
Here are my settings for the dropshadow that I used:

Resize all layers by 75%.

Elements used (After resizing all layers):

Element 2- Butterfly resized by 15%.
Element 9 Resized by 40%.
