Good Day to all

Welcome to the Mad House again

I’m writing this Time Line banner tutorial in Corel X5

Most of the settings I use can be found in all Paint shop pro products.

EyeCandy 4000 I think you have to buy, I’ve had it for ever.. Graident Glow is part of this plug-in for PSP…

This is written in hopes you have some knowledge of Paint Shop Pro

Any version should work

I’m using a PTU Scrap kit by Scrappin with Lil Ole Me

You can find her blog

Here Scrappin with Lil Ole Me

She sells at many different stores

But I’m a Creative Team member for D’zines from the Heart

It’s where I got her kit

Here Dzines from the Heart Store

I’m using a Pre-paid project from the PSP Project

I got this tube at there store

Here The PSP Project

Open an 825x315 size banner

cm-e13 and go into the Seamless Tiling Effect in PSP

I’m using these setting’s below

After applying the settings shown in picture

Add a gradient glow of Light blue(aqua) of these setting

Glow Width (pixels) 10.00

Soft Corners 25

Overall Opacity 100

(check mark in )Draw only outside Selection

The color of the blue I’m using is

R:128

G :255

B: 255

Add these Drop shadow settings

Vertical 5

Horizontal 3

Opacity 100

Blur 5

Color black

Take your tube and paste it behind this layer, and pull her to very far right

Where her face and arm are the only part showing, some of her chest will show that’s ok.. Do this on both side’s of the banner… (Save often)

Go to the very bottom layer and flood fill with paper 20

*now I’m merging some of the layers as to save on space, you do not need to do this if you have a faster processor than me... (LOL)

El-10 c/p re-size by 75% and pull to the right hand side of your banner, it will cover the corners, but that’s ok

Ele-77 c/p re-size by 25% pull to the middle right, copy and mirror

Pull this copy to the left hand side of the banner

Ele-63 c/p and re-size by 45% pull to the bend in ele-10

Ele-81 c/p mirror image, re-size by 25% pull to the left hand edge of banner, beside the mushroom…

Ele-59 c/p re-size 25% pull to the middle, add a high pass sharpen

With these settings

Radius 15

Strength 50

Blend Mode : Overlay

El-58 do the same settings as el-59 mirror the ball pull up beside the other ball…

El-15 c/p re-size by 25% rotate 45° to the left, pull even with the left hand side of diamond, then add the drop shadow from above..

El-15 c/p re-size by 20% pull in the middle of the two balls, then add a sharpen more to the element..

I add an extra layer and using the bottonize feature put one around the banner with the aqua color from above… What ever settings you wish

Width 5

Opacity 100

Transparent edge…

Add your copyright layer to the banner, Remember only the © and the artist name with your Lic# are allowed on facebook, you can not post a link on your time line banner

As for an avatar I just picked a color from my tube and put my name on it

I made a banner for the kit maker also
