Mermaid in Lady’s attire

Good afternoon, this tutorial is written in Corel X5, 

it is written in hopes you have a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro or other graphics Programs.

It was written out of my own mind, and thoughts

Inspired by the PTU kit making of

Irish Princess Designs

The kit i'm using is 

Kate sells at many stores

You can find her stores on her blog

Here Irish Princess Designs

And the PTU artwork of

Disco Science from

Pics for Designs

This is an exclusive tube you either have to paid into this tube,

or gotten it when you part of the monthly Exclusive club project.

I am using a Mask by Melissaz Cretionz

When working with a tube with many layers, you will want to pick the layer’s you wish to work with or colorize to the kit or your own idea, then merge them and make a whole new image with just the merged layers of the color of the tube you want.

I always make sure I’ve got a re-sized version where the tube is 550pixels high, if the tube is not sitting or laying down this will work, if it is you need to make sure the length is not more than 55 pixels wide…

Open a 650x650 size tag, you can re-size later if you wish

Wreath c/p re-size by 75% leave in the middle of the tag…

Take the water, and paste it behind the frame, and pull it to where some show’s out side of the bottom of the frame…

Take the re-sized version of you tube paste it as a new layer

Splash Frame, copy paste it 2 times, mirror one of them pull to the right hand side of tag, and the other to the left hand side of your tag, clean off as much of the top part of the frame, so it covers the bottom portion of your tube…

Waves c/p re-size by 75% pull to the lower left hand side of your tag…

Drinks c/p re-size by 70% pull to the right hand edge of your tag…

Cora c/p mirror re-size by 30% pull to the left hand edge of drinks…

Light house c/p re-size by 50% pull to the right hand edge of drinks…

Plant c/p re-size by 40% pull to the left hand edge of lighthouse…

Grass c/p pull to the left hand edge of your tag, even with cora…

Go to bottom layer, under the water, flood fill with paper4 find a mask of  your choice, I’m using one called MC_Mask5 

After applying your mask merge the layers, add a drop shadow with these settings

Vertical 5

Horizontal 3

Opacity 76

Blur 5

Color I picked the blue from the water

Now I have to merge my full image, as my processor is slow…

Go to the top most layer add a new one and add your copyright to that layer, Make sure you understand the full TOU for PFD Pics they have updated how to do them on there store site…
