Bunney's All American Heart

Tutorial

Highlight your heart layer in your layer palette. Go to effects, plug-in filters, Eyecandy 4000, corona, and use these settings.

Merge visible all layers and rename this layer heart. Once again we want to use our stardust filter. Go to effects, plug-in filters , VM Natural stardust and use these settings.

Now we are going to use the starmaker. Go to effects, plug-in filters, VM Natural and this time use starmaker with these settings

This is what you should have up to this point.

The original image will look a bit different then the one in this tutorial, I created this for stationery and did not save any settings. I had some very nice ladies ask me how I created this and wanted me to write a tutorial. I tried recreating this image the best I could. I got as close as I could so just so you know this tutorial image will not look the exact same as the one at the top of this tutorial.

Now back to the tutorial, Change your background color to white.  Go to image add borders and use these settings (if a window pops up just click yes to the window).

Using your magic wand select the white part of the border you just added. Using the same inner bevel as we used on the heart add an inner bevel to the border.

Go to selections invert. This puts the marching ants around the inside of the border you just added. Add a cut out effect using these settings. 

Go back and add the same cut out effect only this time change the vertical and horizontal to -2 (minus 2). Go to selections, select none. Change your background  color to dark red #800000 and go to image add borders and use these settings.

We are not going to do anything else to this border. Change your background color to the dark blue #000080. Add another border only this time change the settings to 15 (choosing symmetric and typing in 15 will change all your boxes to 15 that's what we want). Now for the blue border I added the stardust filter  so go to effects, plug-in filters, VM Natural, Stardust and use these settings.

I added one more stardust filter again using these settings.

Go to selections invert. Go to effects, 3D effects, cut out and use these settings.

Add another cut out effect only change the settings to vertical and horizontal -1 (minus one). Change your background color to the dark red #800000. Add another symmetric border, this time change the settings to 5. Using your magic wand select the border you just added. Apply the same inner bevel we have been using thru out this tutorial. Go to selections invert and apply the same cut out effect, making sure that you use both the 1 (one) And the -1 (minus one) effects. Then go to selections, select none. This is what you should have this far.

Take your three psp stars tubes  that you downloaded at the beginning of the tutorial. Place  them on your image if you wish. Also make sure you add them to a new layer if you use these tubes. Also make sure if you use these stars that you use the whitestar2 for this part of the tutorial it will have the black outline, Whitestar does not! I applied the same inner bevel we used thru-out this entire tutorial. Here is what mine looks like now.

Please remember that your image will be larger and show more detail then the image shown above. You can merge visible all layers now if you added stars. You are now finished. I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial as much as I have creating it. As always, if I have left something out or something is unclear please don't hesitate to email me at kitchel@webworkz.com and I will answer all email as soon as possible.
