Garden Frame
(PSP all versions)
A tutorial by Mar © 2006

What you need:
Corel PSP. Download a 30 day trial here.
The materials: Download here.
Open all images from the ZIP in PSP.

Save often.
Let's g
et started. Good luck.....

You can use a lot of your own flower tubes for this tutorial.
If you want your tube color to match the color of the frame, you
have to use the 3D Inner bevel effect as used later on in this tutorial.
Notice... not every tube is suitable. Try the bevel first to see the effect.

1. Open a new image 400 X 400 > Transparent.
Put your foreground to pattern and find the MD-Goldfill.jpg.
Texture unchecked (bleu hand).

Background to black.

2. Selections > Select all.

********* This steps between the star lines will be repeated *********

3. Fill the selection with the gold pattern.

4. Selections > Modify > Contract with 3 pixels.

5. Layer > New raster layer.
Fill your selection with your right mouse button (the black).

6. Selections > Modify > Contract with 3 pixels.

7. Fill the selection with the gold pattern.

8. Selections > Modify > Contract with 3 pixels.

9. Layer > New raster layer.
Fill your selection with your right mouse button (the black).

10. Selections > Modify > Contract with 3 pixels.
Keep your selection active.

********* The steps to repeat end here *********

11. Open the Gardenpattern.jpg and copy.
Go back to your frame.
Edit > Paste > Paste into selection.

12. Effects > 3D-effects > Inner bevel > Color #9e813e.
This frame can be done in a lot of colors. Just change the color of the
inner bevel. At the bottom of this tutorial (examples) some color numbers.

13. Layers > Merge > Merge all flatten.

14. You still have your selection active.
Selections > Modify > Contract with 35 pixels.

15. Layer > New raster layer.
Now repeat the steps we have done before (between the star lines 3-10).

If all went well you must have this:

16. You still have the garden pattern on your PC's memory.
If not..... go to it and copy it again.

Edit > Paste > Paste into selection.

17. Repeat the inner bevel like before.

18. Your selection is still active.
Selections > Modify > Contract with 30 pixels.

19. Layer > New raster layer.
Fill the selection with the gold pattern.

20. Selections > Modify > Contract with 3 pixels.

21. Layer > New raster layer.
Fill your selection with your right mouse button (the black).

22. Selections > Modify > Contract with 3 pixels.

23. You still have the garden pattern on your PC's memory.
If not..... go to it and copy it again.

Edit > Paste > Paste into selection.

24. Repeat the inner bevel like before.

25. Effects > Reflection-effects > Kaleidoscope.

Apply.

26. Selections > None.
Layers > Merge > Merge all flatten.

27. Choose a tube from the ZIP (or use your own) and copy it.
Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.

28. Move the flower tube to the middle.
If you use a vase...... put it on the gold border.

29. Open the MD-Spotlight.psp and copy.
Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.

of 2
gold borders. It is all up to you what you like best.
