Open a new image - Size H300 x W500. Floodfill with white.

Copy and paste your masked image into this,
placing it over to the left hand side to allow room
for your text.

Set your Foreground to the darker of the colours in your gradient
and Background to the gradient you used to fill your image with.



Add your name using a font of your choice and then apply
the same blend mosaic filter used before ... This time with the
setting on 15.

Add a bevel to your name using these settings.




You can either finish up here or add a shadow.

X out layer one and merge visible, then re-activate your layers.

Use Eye Candy 3 to add a perspective shadow using these settings.



Merge all layers and crop to size.

Layers - duplicate twice so you now have a total of 3 layers.

X out the top 2 and make sure your bottom layer is highlighted.

Add a sparkle ...

X out this layer and activate the middle layer ...

Add a sparkle ...

X out the middle layer and activate the top layer

Add a sparkle ...

Re-activate all your layers and save your image to a name you'll remember !


Time to close PSP and wander over to Animation Shop with me ... lol

Open your saved image ... Optimise

And

Voila ... lol




You're not limited to the mask I used either ...

By using different masks and colours ... the possibilities are endless!

Here's one I did using a different mask and shadow.



Have Fun !!!


I would like to add a special thanks to Julie for being the
proverbial 'Guinea Pig' and trying this tut out for me ... emmm
