Brush: If you don't know, or are a little bit unsure how to install
brushes in PI, take a look here
- and install the brush picture called loveletter.jpg.
Very important:
Do NOT merge the picture
before I tell you
to do so!

Open a New Image, 600x520 Pixels, color: Black.
Open
the tube - Marif_2006_september_misted_fleurs054 -, copy (Ctrl+C) the tube (1), activate
our main picture (2), and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy of the tube on
it.
Right click the tube on our main picture/Properties/
Position & Size (white hand)/Position:
Left: -7 (red arrow)

Click OK and close the original tube.

Go
to Edit/Fade Out and use these settings:

100% (red arrow) to 50% (white arrow).
Click OK.
Deselect the tube (Enter).
Open
the tube - cansu_dere_TP -, copy (Ctrl+C) the tube and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy of the tube on

Choose
the Paintbrush Tool, and find under Texture Preview (red arrow)
the brush - loveletter.jpg (1) - you've downloaded and installed
inside PI.

I used the color 181/71/122 (white arrow), brush size: 200 (as you
wish), Trans: 0, Soft edge: 50 (red arrow) and
VERY IMPORTANT - Mode: Paint as object (white hand).
Paint now on the background as you can see on the screenshot (1).

When
you are satisfied with the brush painting, click the Pick Tool
(white hand), and a small window appears on your screen. Click
Yes.
Keep the brush activated and change the Transparency between 40
and 70 (as it fits your blend best).
Merge All.

Right click/All, right click/Border,
and use these settings:
Border width: 1 (white hand)
Direction: Inward (red arrow)
Shape: Box and Anti-aliasing.
Click OK and keep the border selected.
Go to Edit/Fill/Color and fill the border with the color
170/61/110.
Deselect (spacebar). |

Go to Adjust/Expand Canvas and untick
the box "Expand sides equally" (red arrow). Change the
Expand color to Black (white hand), and expand with 90 Pixels to
the Right (white arrow).
Click OK.
One more time:
Right click/All, right click/Border:
Border width: 1,
Direction: Inward,
Shape: Box and Anti-aliasing.
Keep the border selected.
|
|
|
|
Go to Edit/Fill/Color (white hand)
and fill the border with the same color as before:
Red: 170 / Green: 61 / Blue: 110 (red arrows).
Click OK and deselect the border (spacebar).
Add
some text as you want, and your blend is finished :))
