Frosty Christmas


This tutorial was written by me on December 4th, 2012 and is my own creation. Any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental and unintentional.

PSP Version used: PSP9, but should work in other versions.

This tutorial assumes you have a good working knowledge of PSP.

Supplies:

Tube of choice. I am using the work of Tony Tzanoukakis. You must purchase his tubes and obtain the proper licensing. You can purchase his tubes here

FTU kit Merry Christmas by Kittz Kreationz for the Creative Misfits. You can find the kit here

Mask 435 by VixPSP. You can find it here

Font of choice. I am using Dear Joe 2.

--------------------

Open the xmas window. Set the canvas to 600 x 600.

Open paper XMAS4 and your mask. Copy and paste your paper as a new layer above your window. Apply your mask, merge group. Add noise, gaussian, 100, monochrome checked. With your raster deform tool, pull the edges of the mask to the edges of your canvas. Move this layer to the bottom.

Open paper XMAS5. Resize by 71%. Copy and paste as a new layer. With your raster deform tool, drag the edges just inside the outer edge of the window. See my tag for reference.

Open the xmas decorated tree. Resize by 60%. Copy and paste as a new layer.

Open the xmas berries. Resize by 60%. Copy and paste as a new layer above your window layer. Rotate to the right so the berries are vertical. Place to the right side of the window. Duplicate and rotate to the right so the berries are horizontal. Duplicate and mirror. Merge the two horizontal berries together. Place to the bottom of your window. See my tag for reference.

Highlight the vertical berries layer. Open the xmas snowman. Resize by 50%. Copy and paste as a new layer. Place slightly to the left of the vertical berries.

Open the xmas candy1. Resize by 40%. Copy and paste as a new layer. Place in front of the vertical berries, slightly down.

Open the xmas jingle bells and flowers. Resize by 92%. Copy and paste as a new layer. Place to the bottom of the window.

Open the Xmas Snowy Leaves. Rotate clockwise 90. Resize by 40%. Copy and paste as a new layer. Place to the lower right, over the bells and flowers but slightly up so the berries extend below the leaves. Duplicate, mirror and merge down. See my tag for reference.

Open your tube and resize as necessary. Copy and paste as a new layer above the merged horizontal berries. Place to the bottom of the window.

Open the xmas snowflakes white. Resize by 55%. Copy and paste as a new layer. Place to the bottom of your tube.

Open the xmas wordart. Resize by 50%. Copy and paste as a new layer. Place to the upper right so it sits on top of the window.

Add your name, copyright, and license info. Apply a drop shadow of choice. Merge visible and save as a PNG.
