For this tutorial you will need the following:

Paint Shop Pro, I am using PSP X, you should be able to use any version.

Tube of choice, I am using the artwork of Ninaste at Beehive Studio (Alena) which you need a license to use.  This beautiful tube has 2 types of layers, a set of mermaid layers and a set of layers with legs so you can use her as a girl or a mermaid!

Font of choice, I am using Akhenaton

Mask: Horse Play's Pasture Mask 11
Plugins: No outside plugins used

copyright doesn't show.



Just remember that my choices of papers and elements is just a suggestion, change it up and make it yours! You don't have to follow mine exactly.

Add a drop shadow of your choosing to tubes & elements throughout. I usually use 1, 1, 50, 5 unless otherwise noted.

click delete on your keyboard,

 

Open another layer of your tube, mirror it, copy and paste as a new layer, arrange in the left side of the frame, click delete on your keyboard, duplicate it, mirror it and drag it around to arrange in the right side of the frame

Change the blend mode to Luminance(L) and drop the opacity to about 75

 

Hide all layers but the tubes in the frame, the frame, and the background paper, merge visible

then unhide  the other layers

 

Now we'll add our elements. You can check my example tag for placement if you need to 

 

 

 element 1 arrange below the tube layer duplicate & mirror

copyright doesn't show.



Just remember that my choices of papers and elements is just a suggestion, change it up and make it yours! You don't have to follow mine exactly.

Add a drop shadow of your choosing to tubes & elements throughout. I usually use 1, 1, 50, 5 unless otherwise noted.
