Under the Sea


Supplies Needed

Font of choice – I used Inspiration, a pay font, but Coneria should work just as nice here

Vix Mask 451 here

My template 207 here

Plug Ins used:
DSB Flux – Tiler
Xenofex 1.0 – Shower Door

For this tutorial I used Angela Hobb’s “Under the Sea Resale Package” which can be purchased from her resale store here.  Angela, the elements in this package are stunning!  Thank you!    
  
This tutorial was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP. 

~~ Let’s get started ~~

Open up the template.
Shift + D.
Close out the original.
Image/Canvas Size:
700 x 700 Pixels
OK
Highlight the background layer.
Flood fill with #ffffff
Delete the following layers:
Credit, LAYERS 10, 9, 8, 7, 5 and 4.

Open Paper 2.
Copy
Paste as a new layer at the top of your layers pallet.
Resize 40%
Close this layer out.

Highlight LAYER 1.
Click on it with your Magic Wand.
Highlight the closed-out paper layer at the top of your layers pallet.
Right click your mouse on it.
Choose “Promote Section to Layer”.
Move the promoted layer just above LAYER 1 template layer.
Click the lock icon at the top your layers pallet to lock the layer.
Apply DSB Flux – Tiler:
Match your settings to mine –

Deselect.
Delete the template layer.
Click the lock at the top of your layers pallet to unlock the layer.

Highlight LAYER 2.
Repeat the above step.

Highlight LAYER 3.
Click on it with your Magic Wand.
Duplicate the paper layer and open this layer up by clicking on the eye icon.
Bring it just above LAYER 3 template layer.
Move it into a position you like – I chose the sand are near the middle.
Right click your mouse on the layer and choose “Promote Section to Layer”.
(Delete the duplicated paper layer)
Lock the layer.

Merge Visible the rock element and paper layer.
Give the merged layer a slight Inner Bevel:

Highlight LAYER 13.
Merge Down.
Merge Down again.
All 3 small circle template layers should now be on the same layer.
Click on each small circle with your Magic Wand.
Highlight the paper layer.
Promote Section to Layer.
Move this just above the template layer.
Deselect.
Delete the merged template layer.

Add your elements.  I used:
