You now have a choice if you are

Here

The Tut has been translated by
Mary Kerssen, Thanks Mary



This tut is actually derived from a tut I did before
and added extra steps, Im sorry I don't know
the authur of the tut to give credit.

This is what we will be creating



Please read all the way through, you may
want to start with a larger image, that is one color

In order to do this tut, you must have

(1)Paint Shop Pro. 7 8 or 9
(2) Simple, Quick Tile
(3)and Flaming Pear,Flexify

Ok, let's begin...
Open a tube of your choosing
If you would like to use the tube I used, please click

here

Open a new transparent image 500 X 500

From the tube you chose, pick two complimentary colors,
one for the background color and one for the foreground color



From the pink rose above I have chosen
#e39fa6 for the foreground and #9eb192 for the background.
On the Material Pallete, click on the gradient and floodfill
your 500 X 500 transparent image which should look like this now.





Next, go to effects, texture effects, textures, and chose these settings



Daze is what I chose but there are
daze, 1 and 2.. for this tut
I chose daze 1

Now it should look like this


Next go to flaming pear/ flexify with these settings

latitude 68
longitude 36
Spin -43
input mirror ball
equirectangular
clue normal
or you can do as I do and play with the dice...
that will give you many different choices..



Now you should have something that looks like this



Now simple quick tile then edge effects, enhance

and you should have something like this


You are done! Simple wasn't it? :)

Hope you loved the bkg tile you created! :).

The rose is just for pulling the colors out
of for this tut.. although you can create stationery
using the tube on a gradient bkg and the bkg tile
you created as the bkg for the stationery
I'm not going to create stationery
out of this rose but have created one you can view by clicking


Here

NOTE:

There are many ways to add or enhance this background.
You can start with a 900 X 900 transparent image,
(a great deal more dramatic in my opinion) and once
you are done you can colorize the finished bkg. That
is what I did to the background in the stationery you are
viewing and think the bkg turned out better.
