This goes against the artists TOU that I use for my tuts and against my TOU.

This was written for psp 9 but will work in other versions.

For this tutorial you will need

Paint Shop Pro

Eye Candy 5 Impact - Optional

Xenofex 2 - Rip Open

Brushes and a pattern of your choice.

Fonts of your choice

A tube of your choice.
I am using the wonderful art of Ronnie Werner. You can purchase a license to use his work from CILM.

Open the tube in PSP. Open the fonts and minimize them.


Ok we are ready to start.

REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN

You can drag this arrow down the page with you to keep your place in the tut.

Step 1:

Open a new image 500 x 500 transparent.
Select your Preset Shapes - Rectangle.
Set your background to a pattern of your choice. I used a leopard print.
Set your foreground to a dark colour from your pattern, I used a dark brown.
Draw out a rectangle approximately 400 high x 50 wide.
Hold down your shift key and use your nodes to push one end in a bit and pull the other end out slightly so it looks like one of the sides in my tag above. Then rotate it to the left slightly.
Once you are happy with it, convert to Raster layer.
Apply an inner bevel of your choice. I used Eye Candy 5 - Impact - Bevel - Lumpy surface subtle.
Duplicate this layer and go to Image - Flip, Image - Mirror.
Use your deform tool to rotate the bottom inwards slightly.
Select your Preset Shapes again and still on Rectangle with the same settings draw a rectangle to join the frame across the top.
Again use your nodes to push and pull the edges.
Convert to Raster layer and apply the same inner bevel you used on the others.
Duplicate this layer and go to Image - Flip, Image - Mirror.
Use your deform toom to rotate it sightly.
See my tag as a guide.

Change your Preset Shape to Circle and using the same foreground and background draw a small circle where two of the frames join.
Add the same inner bevel and add the following Drop Shadow.
Vertical and Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 97
Blur = 6
Colour = Black

Duplicate 3 times and position one in each corner where the frames join.
Merge all visible and go to Image - Canvas size. Increase canvas to 600 x 600.


Step 2:

Add a new Raster layer, flood fill with white and send to the bottom.
On your frame layer select your Magic Wand, Feather and Tolerance 0 and click inside the frame.
Selections - Modify - Expand by 5.
Activate your white layer (the botton one) and fill with a pattern of your choice or apply some brushes.
Selections - Modify - Contract by 25.
Apply Xenofex 2 Rip Open with the following settings but change the Underside colour to a colour from your frame.


Deselect.


Step 3:

Copy and paste the tube you wish to use as a new layer on your canvas, resize if necessary and position it so it looks like part of it is coming through the hole.
Move this to the bottom.
Duplicate and move the duplicate to the top.
Select your Lasoo tool, set to Point to Point, Feather 0 and zoom in.
Draw around any parts you wish to delete to add to the effect of the tube coming through the rip.
I took off her leg in front of her arm and all the area behind her arm.
Once they are all selected, press delete on your keyboard.
Apply the following Drop Shadow to the top tube layer
Vertical and Horizontal = 4
Opacity = 50
Blur = 5
Colour = Black

Activate your frame layer and add the same Drop Shadow.
Add a new Raster layer and move to the bottom. Fill with a pattern of your choice to show through the frame.
Add a saying of your choice. I added
"I am woman hear me ROAR"

Select a font of your choice and add your name and the artists copyright.
Add your watermark.

Crop off the excess white area and save as a .jpg
