I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU
1. Open a 700 by 650 pixels blank canvas.
2. Use your "color eyedropper" to pick a color from the tube you chose to use. (Two are provided.) Set that color in your foreground, make your background white.
3. Left toolbar, down to preset shapes, choose ellipse. Use these settings to draw out an ellipse in the center of your canvas:
Radius X 219.50 and Radius Y 219.50. Do not worry about Center we will use the align tool to do that, line style, straight, line width 8.00.
Once you have it drawn out, go up to OBJECTS on top toolbar, ALIGN/CENTER IN CANVAS. Convert to raster layer. Name that layer, TAG BACK 1.
4. Place Preset SHAPED_BG 42 in your preset shapes folder. Set foreground to color found in tube and background to NO COLOR. NULL. Turned off.
5. Draw out the preset shape so it fits within the TAG BACK 1 just inside the border. Name that border layer CONSTELLATION 1. Like this:
6. Open the DOLL 1 OR DOLL 2 tube/Edit/Copy/Paste As New Layer. Name that LAYER; DOLL.
7. Place PRESET SHAPE SHAPE UP_BG 168 in your preset shapes folder.
8. With line width set to 4, foreground color white, background color one you choose from your image, draw out the shape on the bottom left corner of your TAG BACK. Arrange/Send to bottom. Name that layer FLORAL NAME PLATE.
9. Go up to SELECTIONS, select all/float/defloat/modify select selection borders/add new raster layer, flood fill the selection with a color from your tube. Merge down. Name that FLORAL NAME PLATE BORDER.
10. Place the textures found in your supply folder WITHIN THE COREL PSP texture folder, NOT in My PSP File. Go to C:Windows/Program Files/Corel/Your Paint Shop/Textures. Place them there.
11. Select your FLORAL NAME PLATE. Use magic wand to select inside of the flower with CONTIGUOUS unchecked. Go to Effects/Textures/Texture Effect and select a texture you want to try for inside your flower. This is where your STYLE and choices come into play. Be sure to change the color in the texture tool and size, depth, etc, until you get a look you like. Once you settle on the texture and like the way it looks you're good to go! DUPLICATE. Image/Mirror. Move the mirrored image into place like this:
I used TEXTURE 6 - the Patchwork texture for my name plate.
12. With line width set to 2, foreground color black and NO background color, draw out an ellipse on top of your image and pull and pick it to surround your round tag back just outside of the border of the tag back. With the ellipse still in vector form, click on TEXT tool. Set background color to a dark color to complement your tube and the foreground color a shade darker. Choose a text set at size 23 (you can experiment here on what you like best) and place your text tool on the left side of your ellipse about half way down and begin writing your text. I chose I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU.
Once you are happy with the text, colors, placement, go over to your layer palette and click the little plus sign next to your text like this:
When you click on that, it will open. Go down to New Ellipse like this:
Click OFF by clicking on eye, New Ellipse. Back to text/objects/Convert Text to Curve/As a Single shape. Convert to Raster layer. Name this layer - TEXT. Hint: On my text I used the magic wand to select inside of it and then went up to effects/3d effects/inner bevel and played with it until I liked the look. You can also use Eye Candy glass if you like.
13. Image/Resize/80%
