Nefertiti

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 Ismael Rac (Egyptian Babe) which you need a license to use. 

Scrap kit of choice. I am using a PTU kit by Graphics Of Fantasy called Nefertiti

available at Graphics Of Fantasy Store, and PFD

Font of choice, I am using Coptic Eyes Latin

Mask: Horseplay's Pasture Mask 11

Plugins: No outside plugins used
I do use Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow on all my copyrights/credits layers
I do this because some forums will make a .png tag show up with a black background and then your
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.


Let's get started!

Open a new canvas 850 x 850 pixels with a white background

Open paper 6, resize 145% apply your mask

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer

Now we'll place our elements, you can look at my example tag if you need an exact reference for placement

element 3 arrange behind & slightly left of the tube, duplicate & mirror

element 20 resize  45% arrange on bottom right

element 24 resize 45 % arrange behind element 20 on the right

element 47 resize  45% arrange on the left, to the left of that column

element 79 resize  45% arrange to the left of the black cat

duplicate element 24 (the palm) and drag to the left, behind the cats

crop and resize
