Let's
get started. Good luck.....

Open the MD-Basketbase.psp from the Zip.

Effects > Artistic effects > Balls and Bubbles (PSP 8 and 9 only).

Preset: Reflecting Ball.
I'll show a screen fore every step.

Tab-1

Tab-2 > Color #453933.

Tab-3
Look for the saved patterns:
 

To be able to resize the settings you'll  have to
uncheck the box the little bleu hand is pointing to.

Tab-4 - 1 Put light 1 to: #d4a078.

Tab-4 - 2: Put light 2 to: #a6603a.

Tab-4 - 3: Put light 3 to: #d4a078.

Apply.

Selections > Selections load/save > Selection load from alpha channel.



Use Selection 1.

Edit > Cut .

Selections > Modify > Expand 5 pixels.

Effects > 3D-effects > Inner bevel > Color: #c0c0c0.

Selections > None.

Edit > Paste > Paste as new layer.

Image > Flip.

Selections > Selections load/save > Selection load from alpha channel.
Again choose Selection 1.

This time click delete.

Selections > None.

Move this piece up until the bottom just covers the inner bevel.

With stretch the piece a bit to the left and the right.

In your layer pallet, move down.

Shift D and save it as a base basket for future use.
The alpha selection for the bottom will still be there
when you need to finish the basket in the future.
You can also colorize your basket if you like to.

Back to the basket we are working on.
Layers > Merge > Merge visible.

If you want to put anything (let's say an egg or grass)
in your basket, do that first before merging.
Make sure it's between the two basket layers.

Selections > Selections load/save > Selection load from alpha channel.
Click the black arrow (blue hand) and choose Selection 2.

Click delete to remove.

Selections > Modify > Expand 5 pixels.

Repeat inner bevel like before.

Selections > None.

Image > Canvas size to 400 X 400.

Open the MD-Tulips.psp or an other flower tube and copy.

Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.

With put your flowers on your basket.

Layers > Merge > Merge visible.

You can only use a perspective shadow if your basket is
on a background and you are going to save as JPG.
Don't use it when you want to
save as GIF. The result will be ugly.
My baskets are on the same background I used for this tutorial.

The perspective shadow was done with Eye Candy 3.1.

Your Balls and Bubbles Basket is done.
I hope you like it and learned something.
