This tutorial was written using
Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7. It can be done
in version 8 with slight modifications. Get a
trial version here.
My zipped file. Get it here.
Unzip my ice cream canvas to a folder.
If using version 8 you will need a rustic
wood tile for the wood fill pattern.

Remember to save often!!

1. Open my CM Ice Cream freezer canvas.

2. Click on the Bucketback layer. Set Background to Pattern and choose Driftwood, Angle 90, Scale 50. Selections>Load from Alpha Channel>CM01bucketback. Fill selection. Invert the selection and apply a Drop Shadow of,

Now we need to draw out some boards for the bucket. I turned off the Bucketback layer and used the width of my grid squares to make the boards. I drew three middle ones at various levels and then changed the Pattern Angle to 270 and drew the rest so they wouldn't all look the same. When you have them drawn out Invert the selection and press Delete once. Leave the selection inverted and apply the same Drop Shadow as before. Deselect. You can turn the Bucketback layer back on now.
