Open both your template
and your image in PSP. Press shift and D to
make an exact copy of each and close out the
originals. Now you will also have to open up
your scrap kit. Now if you are using the same
one I did it's a pspimage set so it's all in one
image just on different layers. Minimize your
image but have your template and scrap kit
open. You will be going back and forth. Also
make sure you have your layer palette open.
On your scrap kit click on the layer bg 3
and then click copy. Click on your template and
click on paper 1. Then go under selections and
click on select all. Click on edit and paste
into selection. Under selections Select None.

Now as you can see we have
a pretty light purple background there but it
is pretty plain. So lets spice it up a bit.
Go under effects to texture effects and pick
fine leather. Choose small cracks at the
settings below. Then repeat. Now
our plain purple doesn't look so plain.
|
Now go back to your scrap
kit and click on the bg layer, click copy.
Go back to your template and click on paper 2.
Click on selections and click select all.
Then click float, then click defloat.
This way all the paper on paper 2 has ants
around it. You can also achieve
this by using your magic wand. Click on
the area outside of the paper and then under
selections choose invert. Which ever is
easier for you.
|
Again click on Edit and
then paste into selection. Select none.
Follow the directions for the fine leather
once more for this layer. So right now it
should look something like this:

Now things can be a bit
more complicated so we'll take it element by
element. First we are going to work on the
ribbon. This scrap kit doesn't have a ribbon but
has a zig-zag so we'll use that instead. Click
on the layer named that and click copy. Go back
to the template and paste it as a new layer.
Now you are probably going "Whoa that's huge and
going the wrong way". Easy enough to fix.
1. First go under image rotate, click on
right and then free hand 45, make sure all
layers is unchecked
2. Go under image to resize. Choose 45
percent of original
3. Place the zig-zag over the ribbon and
erase or cut any extra that extends over paper
2.
Now you can delete the layers ribbon and
the slider layer since the slider doesn't look
right with the zig-zag. This is what it should
look like at this point:

Now we are going to change
out the picture frames. Don't panic :) YetOn
your scrap set click on the layer that is
titled frame met bloem and then click copy. Go
back to your template.
Click on the
layer that titled photo 1. Click on
selections, select all, float and then defloat
(or use your magic wand to click outside of
the photo frame and then go selections
invert). You want to have ants marching around
the picture frame.
Click on layers, new
raster layer. Name this "New Photo Frame
1". Click paste into selection.
Select none. Don't delete the old frame
quite yet. You'll have a use for it
before we are done.
|
On your template delete
photo 2 and 3. Go to your scrap kit and
click on the layer titled Dubbelframe and copy
it. Go to your template and paste as a
new layer. Now you want to rotate the
image 45 degrees and then resize it by 45
percent, the same as above for the zig-zag.
Your image should now look something like
this:

Now you may want to save were you are at before
we go on to the next step. Adding your images
:). When you are ready click here to continue.
