Scrap Paper Flower This tutorial was written in psp 8, but can be done in other versions. Optional Supplies My Crumpled Paper Texture HERE (or you can make your own by simply scrunching up some of your printer paper and scanning it) 5 petal Flower preset shape made by me HERE Open new blank image 500x500 and Flood Fill with white so you can see what you're doing. Open the Crumpled Paper texture or you can make your own, simply scrunch up some of your printer paper and scan it and save as a jpg. with the crop tool select the best bit of your paper and crop it, if it comes out a bit too big you can resize it too ;o) I think it looks a little bit more realistic than the psp preset texture papers. Minimise the paper and switch the Foreground colour off and switch the Background to Pattern:
Find the Crumpled Paper in the drop down menu, Angle: 0, Scale: 50, select it and click ok.
Select the Preset Shape Tool and choose the Flower and while holding down the shift key on your keyboard, draw out a fairly large flower:
Objects>Align>Center in Canvas, Layers>Convert to Raster Layer. Choose a darker shade of colour from your image and click on the coloured square on the colour palette, take note of the Hue and Saturation numbers and then Adjust>Hue and Saturation>Colorize and then type the hue and saturation numbers down in the boxes (sometimes you may need to lower the saturation if the colour comes out too bright). You will see that the colour is still very light:
Adjust>Brightness and Contrast> Brightness: -20, Contrast: 0, and repeat the Colorize, repeat Brightness and Contrast and again repeat Colorize, you may want to repeat these steps quite a few times again and maybe for the last few times lower the brightness to achieve the colour result that you like, remember to finish off with Colorize. Apply Effects>Texture Effects>Texture and find 'Carpet' in the drop down menu and apply these settings:
Back to the Preset Shape Tool again and find a different shaped flower, I used my 5 petal flower preset shape, but any flower with narrow petals will do. Draw out the second flower and Objects>Align>Center in Canvas, Layers>Convert to Raster Layer. (you may need to lower the position of the flower if using my shape). Repeat the same colorizing process as before but choose a lighter contrasting colour. Apply the same Texture Effects as before. Select the Preset Shape Tool again and choose the same flower that you used the first time and draw out a smaller flower in the middle, again Objects>Align>Center in Canvas, Image>Rotate>Free Rotate 35 degrees, Right, Layers>Convert to Raster Layer, repeat the same colorizing process and only darken with the Brightness and Contrast by a small amount, mine was set at -15, we don't need to repeat it as many times as the first flower because this one needs to stay quite light in colour. Apply a Drop Shadow to all flower layers of V: 0, H: 0, Opacity: 80, Blur: 8, Colour: Black . Change the Background colour to a solid colour, light grey and select the Preset Shape Tool and select Ellipse, hold down the shift key on your keyboard and draw out a circle in the middle of the flowers:
Objects>Align>Center in Canvas, Layers>Convert to Raster Layer and make sure it is right in the Center. Effects>3D Effects>Inner Bevel and use the same settings that were used before:
Apply a Drop Shadow of V: 0, H: 0, Opacity: 100, Blur: 15, Colour: Black. Right click on the background layer on the layer palette and delete, Layers>Merge>Merge Visible and save as .psp file. |
