~ Happy Father's Day ~

May 2006 Tutorial

Needed for this tutorial: Paint Shop Pro 7
Plugins from: Filter Pagina1

or a filter of your choice.

1. Open a new image 350x350.

2. Open your tube or the one I used Statue_Brass_patao

here and Edit-Copy. Go back to your working image and Paste as a new layer. I had to resize my tube to 75%.

Close your tube.
Sitting on your bottom layer (empty one) add a new layer and name it bg.
Flood fill this layer with your PSP pattern-granite.

3. Effects-Plugin Filters-2Manekenai(tm)-Mezzo-Force-Ice with the settings at default.
I found this plugin on this website:
http://clients.helderhosting.nl/CN20050133/www/Filterpagina1.htm
but cannot identify which one so you may have to try out different plugins you have to achieve a similar effect.
Basically it just soffened the rocks pattern. You may use any effect that is pleasing to your eye as this is just a background layer.
I have included my bg tile here.........

4.Text: I added my text on separate layers.
Happy Fathers Day layer: Use the text tool with the
stroke set with Pattern-plastic wrap and Fill
flood filled with a med. bright pink. Use any color you like.

Font used was Whimsey ICG Heavy. Size 28.

5.Going back to top layer in your layer pallet Merge Visable.

6. Image-Add Borders and add a border of 8 pixels. I used the pink I had. Select with your Magic Wand tool and flood fill with Pattern-stones small.

7. Effects-Texture effects-Soft Plastic
with settings:
Blur 20 Detail 14 Density 32
Angle 45 Color white
apply.

8. Select none.

9. Add border of 15 pixels. Flood fill with Pattern- Blue Strings

10. Effects- Reflection Effects-Kaleidoscope
with these settings
horizontal offset -73 (minus 73)
vertical offset -40 (minus 40)
rotation angle 90
scale factor 17
no of petals 10
no of orbits 3
radial suction 47

11. Add border of 8 pixels and repeat step 6 to 8.

Save your graphic and you are done.

Each day of life a journey
That's spent with love we share
A moment of pure pleasure
Whenever you are near

Each year a special greeting
That comes from deep within
Grateful for your special heart
The smiles of our children

I always knew I loved you
For reasons that are clear
So happy I can tell you
This special time of year

Times in life so wondrous
When you're at my side
I'm constantly aware of
The love that I can't hide

Today I want to tell you
What's plain for you to see
Happy Father's Day Darling
You mean the world to me.
