Artist: Victoria Fox "Alice"

PTU: Wicked Princess kit - "Alice"

Template 7 by: EOC

Enjoy my tutorial :)

You must have working knowledge of Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 or newer

By the way I always start my canvas's at 650x650 , but you are free to open a canvas bigger or smaller, and scale the elements to the size you want.  But if you are like me, keep reading on, thanks. 

Okay Ready, set, GO!

Open EOC template 7, and re-size to 650x650

Open WP_AE_PP1, C/P last layer of the template

What's next, you guest it we are going to change this paper into a mask layer.

Got your mouse ready to go???

Head to your Layers tab-->(Click) Load/Save Mask--> (then click) Load Mask from Disc

From there choose any mask you want or choose the one I used with a circular pattern.

And then (Click)--> Load

After this step, right click your mask paper again, and this time you are going to " Merge group"  (why merge group??? , because this will convert your three seperate layers that your mask option made for you, into one single mask layer to work with)

Using your mouse, mouse over your layer where you had paste your paper at, and right click on your mouse

Next it will pop another option for you, you want to look for "Merge"--> "merge group".

Tada you have a single masked layer.

 Next, choose any papers you like, from papers folder, C/P them each over the shapes of the template.

This next step will help you see what I had done to cut the papers out to the shapes of the template, if you need it. If not then you can skip this part :)

Open WP_AE_PP12 Copy and paste it over one of the circles of the template, next you will want to grab your magic wand tool, click on the rectangle of the template, press Ctrl+Shift+I on your keyboard, this will allow you to invert. 

Next click the WP_AE_PP12, and hit your delete key once.

*Do these same steps for all the shapes of the template.

Now you should have perfectly cut shapes, layered with your favorite papers.

Next open these elements, and be sure to apply Drop Shadow to each

Open-WP_AE_HEART, re-size to 25%

Open- WP_AE_SUGAR

Open- WP_AE_CUP, re-size to 90%, apply mirror effect (basically your flipping the cup, horzontically)

Open- WP_AE_GRASS, re-size it to 70%

Open- WP_AE_CHESSPIECE1, re-size it to 20%

Open- WP_AE_CAKEPLATE2, re-size it to 60%.

Open- WP_AE_CHESSPIECE3, re-size to 20%

Open- WP_AE_PAWN4, re-size to 40%,

Open- WP_AE_CHESSPIECE2, re-size to 35%,

Open- WP_AE_CAT, re-size to 30%, i snuck the Cheshire cat between the template shapes, but you can do what you want with him.

Now that you have re-sized these elements according to my sizes, added the drop shadows to all. Except for the grass.

I used Victoria Fox art, "Alice," and I applied the xero-porcelian effect, and sat her behind the chess pieces.  Oh and don't forget to add your drop shadow too, and your almost done ;)
