Icicle Pinwheel Hearts Tag Tutorial
Written and Created by Debbie "Debz" Coates

 

What you need for this tutorial:
1. PSP 7 (This was written using PSP 7, but I'm sure it can be modified for any version.)
2. Fantastic Machines Paint Engine
3. Graphics Plus Pin Wheel
4. VM Natural Sparkle
5. Heart Tubes - Download here. **Note**I don't know who made them, but the file name is the same as when I got them.

STEP ONE
Open a 500x500 transparent image. Don't worry, this gets resized as we go.

STEP TWO
Open the attached tube and select the color you want to use. Place your tube in the center of the image.

STEP THREE
Go to Effects > Plugins > Graphics Plus > Pin Wheel, apply the following settings:
Repeater 10 - Spinner 2 - Scaler 96
Go back to Effects > Plugins > Fantastic Machines > Paint Engine, apply the following settings:

Save this as Ice Crystals.
Go to Effects > Sharpen > Sharpen.

STEP FOUR
Add a new raster layer. Use the same tube you did and place it in the middle of your image. Choose your magic wand, hold shift and click on the outside and inside around the hearts...Selections > Invert. Apply VM Natural Sparkle with the size of sparkles you desire. Add another raster layer with the ants around your hearts.
Go to Effects > 3D Effects > Cutout, apply these settings:
V&H 2 - Opacity 75 - Blur 20 - choose the shadow color to match the color scheme you're going with - Fill with interior color unchecked.
Add another layer and apply the cutout again except make the V&H [-2].
Selections > None, Layers > Merge > Visible.

STEP FIVE
Go to Image > Resize, apply these settings:
Percentage of Original 70 - Resize all Layers unchecked.
Effects > Sharpen > Sharpen.

STEP SIX
Dress it up with tubes or whatever your imagination desires. Then Layers > Merge > Visible.
Take your magic wand and click on the transparent outside of the image...Selections > Invert...Image > Crop to Selection.
Go to Layer > Merge > Merge All [flatten].
And that's it! Here is mine :)

Hope you enjoyed this tut and I hope you found it easy.
