++Plug ins: Eye candy 400 gradient glow

**NOTE ADD DROP SHADOWS OF YOUR CHOOSING AS YOU LIKE! AND SAVE AS YOU GO!

Open the template in PSP, using your shortcut keys on your keyboard (SHIFT+D) duplicate the template as a new image. Close the original.

Open several papers of choice, resizing as needed. For example, when I look at the blue bar where it tells me what I’ve opened (say like paper 2) it tells me what percentage I’m viewing it at. For me it’s usually 16%, so I resize to 16% bringing it to 100%. ( I hope that made sense!) Once you’ve done this, minimize for later use.

First open the banner template for the forum set.

Next go to the bottom template layer and go to selections, select all, then float, selections defloat. Don’t forget to go to selections, none then delete the template layer. Repeat this process for the rest of the template. On the diamond layers, add a gradient of your choosing. I did a complimentary green and white and fixed the repeat for 3.
Add a soft gradient glow to your second rectangle.

Open up the skull circle frame, and then copy and paste as a new layer. Move it to just above the second rectangle layer. Adjust it as you need too.

Now open up the pin of your choice. I used the white one. Copy and paste as a new layer and move it to the right. Then move it to under the diamond layers. I angled mine. Duplicate it then go to image, flip. Merge down one layer then duplicate it again. Go to image, mirror.

Next open your tube of choice. Copy and paste as a new layer. Move it to just above the diamond layer. Adjust it like y ou want it. Duplicate it and go to image, mirror. Back to the first one, add your plug in, penta.com>dot and cross. Set it to whatever you want. Back to the diamond layer below, go to selections, float, selections, defloat, then select the tube layer again. Go to selections, invert and hit the delete key on your keyboard. Go to selections, none. Repeat this for the opposite side. Add a soft gradient glow to the diamonds

Copy and paste your tube again, and center it into your banner. Adjust as needed. Add a crown to either side of the oval.

What I do here is save……
Now merge all then go to selections, float, selections defloat. Then add a new layer. Go to selections, modify, select selections border and set it to 3. On the new raster layer flood fill with a complimentary color. Then add a soft gradient gloss

Add your copyrights and license info along with y our tagger markings. Save and your done!

Repeat the steps for the avvy.

Open a canvas of 800x800 and make sure it has a transparent background. Remember we can resize this later.
Next open the large wooden frame you like. I used frame 3 and resized it when I pasted it to the new canvas. So copy and paste the frame into your new canvas. Resize as you like it.

Now open the paper of your choosing. I used paper 1 because it gave me a “scene”. Copy and paste as a new layer and move it below the frame. Adjust it and resize as you like it so it shows the scene you like. Click on the frame layer and activate your magic wand tool. Click inside the frame and go to selections, modify, expand by 10. Back to the paper layer go to selections, invert then edit, clear. The selections, none. Now you have a nice new scene!
Then open the purple mushroom cluster. Resize it then copy and paste as a new layer below the frame layer. Place it somewhere in the bottom center of the frame. Adjust it as you like.

Now open your tube of choice. I used the second close up of the fairy, and copy and paste as a new layer. Move it to where you like, I move it to the right of the frame. Once you are happy with the placement, duplicate it then move one below the frame layer. Go back to the frame layer, and activate your magic wand tool. Click inside the frame and go to selections, modify, expand by ten. Then back to the bottom tube layer, go to selections, invert. Hit the delete key or go to edit, clear. Go to selections none. Back to the top tube layer, activate your eraser brush and remove the parts of the tube you don’t’ want seen outside the frame. To make it look like it’s “popping” out!
Open up the ivy branches, which is leaves 1. Resize then copy and paste as a new layer just above the frame layer. Yes still below the top tube layer. Move to the upper right of the frame. You may need to resize it again some. Adjust as you like. Duplicate it and go to image, mirror then image flip.

Then open the snail stand and resize it then copy and paste as a new layer. Move it to the upper left of the frame. You may need to adjust and resize it some.

Next open up the pond, resize it then copy and paste as a new layer to the bottom of the snail stand in the lower left corner of the frame.

Add the book to overlap the pond.

Now add a new raster layer and move it to the bottom of the layers so it’s below even the scene paper. Flood fill with your choice of color or paper and add your mask of choice!
