This Tutorial was created using Corel's Paint Shop Pro® with the understanding that you have a working knowledge of this program. (I used PhotoX2 but you should have no trouble recreating it with earlier versions of PSP)

Open a new image 600 x 500 in order to stay within most pay to use artists terms of use the dpi or
resolution of the image can be no more than 72,000 DPI

Flood fill this layer with a dark red color from your tube, i used #4e0800
apply GabeeChristmas7 mask, merge your group.
Open fireplace and resize by 70%
Open mantlepiece and resize by 50%
Open stocking3 resize by 30% then again by 80%
Open fireplace tools and resize by 30%
I added a drop shadow to everything V=2 H=3 Opac=50 Blur= 6
Color= black #000000
****"save your work in progress "****
Now here is the tricky part.. included with paintshop pro is a fire tube, making the tube size 10 add a new layer and click once above the first
candle check it's the size you want/like then duplicate this 3 more times move each layer over it's own candle then merge each layer down
until your flames are merged with your candles

Now make the tube bigger and and smaller clicking multiple times over the wood . if you don't have this tube then use eyecandy 4000 or
Nature filters and add fire to your wood and to your candles.
If you can animate then by all means
Open your tube paste as new layer, resize as nessesary DON'T FORGET YOUR COPYRIGHTS. repeat the above drop shadow
Now add your name i used Kingthings Christmas size- 80 color: bg-#98100f stroke-#ffffff width 1 add a differant drop shadow I used
V= -1 H= 4 Blur =4 color black #000000 and tada your done.

that you have a working knowledge of this program.

(I used PhotoX2 but you should have no trouble recreating it
with earlier versions of PSP)

Layers, Merge, merge group.

Open Monti-PL Skull Paper1 paste as new layer
Apply KWS_Mask17,

Open Monti-PL Gold coins and paste as new layers


resize coins by 40% (make sure resize all layers is
unchecked) and move to the bottom left.


Open Monti-PL JollyRoger flying and paste as new layers

resize coins by 50% and move to left side of tag


Open tube of choise, the tube i used had to be resized by 33% i tried
to make it look like her foot was resting on the flag pole.


open Monti-PL-FilledTreasureChest paste as new layer and resize to 40 %

move it to bottomleft, covering the end of the flag pole and her bottom



Open Monti-PL-Placard-DeadMen and paste as new layer and resize by 27%

Now the hard part adding the sand, change your foreground properties to pattern, chose Tiled rippled sand

Now create a new layer between KWS mask and your coin layers then draw a selection Using your lasso selection tool set to freehand

draw freehand around the treasure chest the girl etc to make it look like she's laying on the sand once you have the selection floating use flood fill to fill with sand pattern.

i know, i know your thinking that looks awful.. lol but what you have to do now is erase the edges so choose your eraser tool , size 25 or so Hardness 66 step 10 density 45 opacity 48 and
just click around the outside edges ... don't drag it will take out too much just keep clicking until you take away that sharp edge

P.s i also clicked on the bottom of the placard to make it appear dug in the sand.
Add Copyright © and licence info your taggers watermark if any. Add your name i used Pieces of Eight font selected a small sample of her suit bottoms used it as my pattern fill.



Merge All Flatten and your done. (Tip: if you would rather not have it on a white background instead of merging flat select merge visable and save a PNG this will keep the outsides transparent/ JUST REMEMBER TO have your copyrights in a color that can be seen on whatever color background you put it on!)
