“Poison Ivy” Tutorial

By Kathy’s PSP Designs 2024

Supplies HERE

Tube I used is "Dryad" by ©MaryArt HERE

This Tut assumes you have a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro. I use PSP 2022 but it can be done in any version. Any similarities to other tuts is purely coincidental. I made this up as I went with my own imagination. Results will vary depending on items used.

Scrapkit of Choice or the one I used is “Forest Elf 22” available HERE at Curious Creative Dreams. I suggest ones with lots of greenery/leaves.

Filters Used:

Graphics Plus Kaleidoscope

DSB Flux Blast

Xero Fritillary

Mask is Vix Mask 469 HERE

Font is Sage Leaves from HERE

1.      Open a transparent canvas 650x650.

2.      Open the tube of choice, copy & paste to your blank canvas & resize to your liking. I use a drop shadow of

3.      Open the paper from the supplies, add a new layer to your canvas, select all.

 Copy the paper & paste as a new layer. Select none.

4.      Staying on your paper layer, apply your mask of choice or the one I used, Vix Mask 469 HERE. I open the mask then go back to my canvas on the layer I want to apply the mask to. Click Layers, New Mask Layers, From Image then select the mask in the source window drop down list with source luminance checked & invert mask date not checked & hit OK.

5.      Delete mask raster layer 1, right click on the top mask layer, click merge, merge group. At this point you can duplicate if you want it darker, merge down or just add the same drop shadow.

6.      Open your frame of choice & position it under your tube layer. Duplicate your tube layer & move the copy underneath the frame layer. Now on your top tube layer use your eraser with these settings.

 Erase the parts of the tube covering your frame. Then choose your bottom tube layer & erase any of it showing out from under your frame that is showing where you don’t want it.

7.      Copy & Paste another copy of your tube layer right above the mask layer.

8.      Apply the Graphics Plus Kaleidoscope filter with the following settings

9.      Apply the DSB Flux filter Blast with the following settings

Apply the Xero Fritillary filter with these settings

10. Resize this layer if you need to.

11. At this point arrange any scrap items you are using as you wish.

12. Add your name.

13. When finished to your liking add appropriate ©info and merge visible layers.

14. Save as a .png.

 Again this is new to me so forgive any goofs. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by.
