Tutorial written by Nemesis



For this tutorial you will need:

Psp 7 or 8

This tube:
Hummingbirds

This font:
Bellbottom font

**Install the tube and the font!!**


Open up a new image 500*500 pixels with a transparent background.
Select the tube tool and add the tube with the scale 70% on the
empty canvas. Then go to layers/ duplicate.
Now go to effecs/ blur/ gaussian blur and blur with a radius of 20.
Go to effects / texture effects/ straw wall and add with these settings...



Move this layer down to the bottom (layers/ arrange/ send to bottom).
Then use the mover tool to drag it a bit up and to the left.
Go to layers/ merge / merge visible.
You should now have something like this...



Add a new raster layer (layers/new raster layer).
Then select the text tool, add one letter at the time with
these settings, add a new layer for each letter. That way
we can move them around later.



How you want to place your letters depends on how many of them
you have and what you think look best.
Hide the merged layer, highlight the layer with your first letter.
Then go to layers/ merge / merge visible. Make your bird layer visible again.
Now you should have something similar to this...



Select the clone brush tool, Hightlight the text layer then and select
all of the text then highlight the bird layer.
Clone any area you want by pressing down shift and then clicking
with your right mouse button. Then once again go back to the text layer
Now by simply clicking on the text filled it with the clone.
We have now got something like this...



With the text still selected go to effects/ 3d effects/ cutout.
add with vertical and horizontal both set to : 1 Opacity : 100 Blur: 10
and the colour set to : #864220

Then go to effects/ 3d effects/ drop shadow. Use the following settings...



Now merge visible, crop and save as .jpg and you are done !


Hope you had fun!
