I am going to attempt to show you what steps I take when making on of my bling. The one I will make I will do it with 2 different graphic programs. Each one does different things. One is Paint Shop Pro X6 and the other one is Photo Explosion 3. I have other programs but these 2 will be the only ones I will be using for this bling.
I will be using a picture file called a png file which is a picture with a transparent background. I search the internet for png file that will work for my bling and then convert them to a Tube file in PSP x6. The reason I convert them is because they are easy resizable and I can paste them any where in the picture I want.
I am not going to go into much detail but will show the steps while making one. I will make the bling picture by using layers. That is doing different parts by layering one over the top of another.
First off I will make the background by using Paint Shop Pro X6. I am making a multicolored background as seen in the picture below.
Next I will use one of the special effects in the program to create the sun and sun rays on the upper left.
I will now use another special effect and add some curly cues just for more added interest.
Now I will make a layer with a tube file of grass on the bottom.
Time for adding the layer of the woman now.
I think I will add a layer with a couple of birds.
Time for words. I save the picture and load my other program up. Then open the picture and use the program and make the lettering.
I save the file again and load it back up on the Paint Shop Pro program. I will now add a pattern border around it. Then I resize the picture to the size I want it to be and cut the amount of colors down to 32K so it can be uploaded to the site as a bling.
