Supplies
you will need. Download this
zip file that contains the
png image, mask and
filter/plugin I'll be using. Unzip the
filter mura meister cloud and place it in your
plugin/filter folder in PSP. You may use
another image besides the cat one I am using.
I do not know who is the artist/owner of this
image, if anyone knows please let me know so I
can give them proper credit.
Open up the image you
are going to use in your psp along with your
mask. Use shift
D to make a copy and then close out the
originals. You can minimize the mask
image and the png for now. Create a new
transparent image 450 x 450. Set for flood fill
and pick a color from your png/tube image.
I picked the color from the yarn #BBBDED and
then choose a darker shade of the same color.
I used #516C8B. Go to effects and choose
mura miester cloud.
Choose the default settings and it should
pick up the colors from the flood fill. If
it doesn't click on the reset color button.
Click ok.
Copy your png/tube and
paste as new layer. Resize by 75 percent
Repeat and move png/tube to top of image.
Go to layer palette and change settings to
luminance and opacity to 80%
Merge Visible
Now go up to Masks and
choose new and then from image.
Choose the
brice_puzzle3.msk at the settings below
Go back under masks and
click delete. When the window pops up
asking if you'd like to merge with current
layer click Yes.
Go to effects, drop shadow
and use the settings below:

Copy your png/tube image and paste it on as a
new layer. Resize it by 75% and then resize it
again but by 85%. Move down near the
bottom of the image.
(Optional) While
still on png/tube go to effects xero,
porcelain and use the following settings.
Go to effects drop shadow and use the following
settings:
Now you are all set to add in your text.
