converted for PSP X.

The brushes in the zip file can be imported into PSP X

or new ones made from the included image.

Save the brushes in your Brush folder if you don't import them.

Open all the tubes in PSP.

 

Change your foreground color to #726a6a and

your background color to  #e2dad7.

 

 

Okay, we're ready to begin :)

 

 

1.Open a new transparent image, size 550 x550 px.

Fill with the background color #e2dad7

 

2.Effects -- Filter Effects -- Cybia -- Screenworks.

Apply with these settings.

 

OR

apply the standard Screenworks --Dot Screen filter.

 

3.Selections -- Select All.

Selections -- Modify -- Contract by 30px.

 

4. Layers -- New Raster Layer.

Fill with the foreground color  #726a6a.

 

5.Selections -- Select None ( Ctrl +D).

 

6. Open the 'old west'- tube.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto the canvas.

Change the opacity of this layer to 50%

in your Layers palette.

Drag it to the top so that it touches the edge of layer 2 slightly.

 

7. Effects -- Filter Effects -- FM Tile Tools -- Blend Emboss.

Apply with the standard settings.

 

 

8. Activate your Brush tool.

Find the '@garden sarah11'-brush.

Apply it with the background color #e2dad7

below the garden tube so that the

foreground color is completely covered.

If the brush isn't working, use the image included in the zip file.

Copy and paste it onto the canvas as a new layer then.

Drag it into place so that the foreground color is

completely covered as with the brush.

This step might have to be repeated a few times to get

everything covered.

Duplicate this layer and position it in such a way

that everything is covered.

Position it to the left so that the parasole touches

the edge of the image as seen

in the example.
