Supplies HERE I have included the font I used BabyBlocks, Elements made by myself using Patterns in my psp folder Mask I am unsure of the creator. I would be happy to give credit if you know the creator of the mask I used You will need your own art tube for this Tutorial I am using the gorgeous artwork of Elias Chatzoudis you may purchase his art from MPT This one is a little fiddly LOL Open a New Transparent Image 600 x 600 pixels and flood fill with white and then copy and paste the Gem Mask as a new layer Open the Gem Heart in PSP and open the Gem heart fill and copy and paste the fill into the heart and arrange the layer so the fill is under the heart frame Using your selection tool set on Magic Wand click inside the heart frame up to Selections Modify and expand by 5 Now using the tube you wish to use resized to suit the frame copy and paste the tube into the heart then go to Selections invert and hit delete on your keyboard this takes any excess away now go to layers and lower the opacity on your tube to around 50% up to Selections again and select none Up to layers and merge visible now copy and paste this heart to your main Tag and place on left hand side Back now to your heart and click your undo button until you get back to before you pasted the tube in now repaste the tube and go to image mirror and then selections invert and delete on your keyboard then selections none.
