Let's blast off!

Cannon Template

We are going to do this one as a copy>merge because there are so many layers and it has to have a background

Open the font and shrink it to the task bar... open you template in PSP....Close off all layers except the bottom layer....add a new layer and with the text tool...size set at 72.... stroke set at red(or your choice of colours here)...fill set at Pink('cause I'm a girl...LOL) floating and antalias checked......line set at 3....type your name and place it to the left of your canvas....open the little man the drops between the letters (layer 15) to make sure you have the text placed right.. I had to use the deform tool and drag my name over a bit.....

Add an eye candy glass effect with these settings

re name this layer text...duplicate this layer and close off the original....

Let's give it a border...with just the copy of text layer open...add a new layer...selections... select all...selections...modify.....contract by 5... selections...invert...now flood fill with a colour that will compliment your tag and add the same eye candy glass effect...re name this layer frame

For PSP 9 users, you may have to add a background layer. Add a new layer...name it background...flood fill with white...drag it to the bottom of the stack and leave this layer open with your copy of text and frame layer
