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 get
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.
