Let's get started. Good luck.....
This tutorial is done in PSP 9.
Open a new image 350 X 400 and fill with black.
Layers > New raster layer.
Put your foreground to
the MD-Gold-3 pattern from the ZIP.
Texture unchecked (blue hand).
Fill the layer with the gold pattern.
Open the (made by me)
MD-Rose-Mask.jpg mask.
Layers > New mask layer > From image.
Look for the MD-Rose-Mask.jpg and apply.
Layers > Merge > Merge group.
Lock your background style.
With your shapes tool
select the shape Heart
1.
If you don't have the shape you can
find it here on my site.
Draw a heart. Stroke 3.
For the (about)size look at my screenshot below.
Layers > Convert to raster.
With your magic wand
(Tolerance 25 and Feather 1) click in the heart.
Effects > Plugins > DragonFly > Sinedots II.
Put all settings like on the screenshot. Don't skip any. Color #1df71d.
So you have to change all settings in red and anti-alias has to be checked.
If you are done with the settings you can save it for future use. (See blue hand).
Effects > 3D-effects > Inner bevel > Color white.
Selections > None.
Open two parrots or a parrot couple and copy.
Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.
Move
the Parrot(-s) on the heart but make sure they are at the black
part.
Move
the heart down if that is necessary.
Something like this:
If you are satisfied:
Layers > Merge > Merge all layers flatten.
Make sure your background style is still locked.
Foreground to color. With your color picker
take a color from your image.
I toke the darker red from the left parrot (#b30f41).
Now lets paint our mask.
Select the tool "Color to Target". >>>>
>>>>
Now color some pieces of the rose.
It doesn't have to be precise.
It is even nice to go a bit outside the lines on some spots.
There is one rule of thumb....... You can't color the black spots!
The gold you can! So you can also color the border of the heart.
Now pick (color picker) a green color from your
image.
I used the green just above the beak but
you can also use the green from the heart.
I used (#389326). Paint some parts of the leaves.
Now take some other colors from your image and make
some
accents.
This is my result painting the mask:
Do you see I used almost every color from the image?
Now the colors of the mask are matching the image.
Open one of the texts from the ZIP and copy.
Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.
Move
on to a nice spot.
Of course you can also make your own texts.
You can also decorate your tag
with a cocktail.
That makes the tag a bit tropical.
Take a look at the examples at the bottom of this tutorial.
If you are satisfied with the
image:
Layers > Merge > Merge all flatten.
With your magic wand
select the
white border.
Fill the selection with the gold.
Your Parrot Romance Tag is
done.
