.................... Bird Cage of Flowers.......................
This tutorial was created in PSP 7
I'm sure it can be done in other versions
with just a few adjustments
..........................................................................................
You will need Bird Cage...Flowers and Corner
which I have zipped for you
right click on Zip and open or save in a folder
I have cleaned the flowers of extra pixels.you
might find some stray ones if you zoom in at (1).
If you find any just use your eraser.
Don't forget to Zoom out at (1)
.......................................................................................
Find the Bird Cage and make a New Raster Layer
drag this layer under the Cage layer
and flood fill it with choice of color
I used a gradient for my fill
...........................................................................................
New Raster Layer...this is above the color fill
Now get the flowers from the zip and copy and paste
as a transparent image...with the mover tool
position it in the center of the Cage
some of it will be hanging out of the cage
this is okay......now click on the Bird Cage
Go to View
ZOOM in at (1) and eraser size about 2 or 3
erase some of the cage so it seems like some flowers
has come through the bars of the cage.
I erased some of the larger bars
When it is to your satisfaction go to View and Zoom out at (1)
go to Layers and Merge flatten
...........................................................................................
Make the foreground color null.Background White
Go to Image....Border...size 10....get the
Magic Wand and click inside the white .while it is active
get the color picker and pick a color from a flower
put this color on the forground color..flood fill
the active white border..diselect.
Repeat the above .only change border size to 3
and pick another color.
Repeat once again the first border with same color.
Go to Layers and merge flatten.
........................................................................................
New Raster Layer......Now we will get the Gold Corner
to copy and paste as trasparent image....I put
mine on the left side of Cage... with mover tool
place it so it melds into the Cage..see top Graphic.
When you work it into where you want it..merge visible.
......................................................................................

Click on one of the images to make it active
Make sure that the New Layer is highlighted
and go to Effects...Noise..add 25.okay
