This is a very easy tutorial, but it is not for BEGINNERS.
I have assumed that you already know the basics of Paint Shop Pro. To complete this tutorial you will need: Paint Shop Pro To complete the optional steps, you will need: SuperBladePro (optional) |

The fabulous settings for the kaleidoscope effect are the inspirations
of my talented e-pal Char. Please visit her beautiful sites. Elfie Creations |

Open a new image, 200 x 200. Flood-fill the image with whatever you want to use for the layer underneath the lace. I used a gradient tile that I made using my Scratchy Background tut. Whatever you use, it needs to be seamless. |
|
|
|
Open a new image, 200 x 200. Flood-fill the image with a color that is very different from the color you want to make your lace. Layers - Add Raster Layer. Set the tool options for your Paintbrush Tool as shown on the right. You can make the size 4, instead of 5, if you want a more delicate lace pattern. Using your Paintbrush tool, scribble. |
|
|
|
Effects - Reflection Effects - Kaleidoscope, using the settings shown. |
|
|
|
(OPTIONAL STEP) Depending on how large or how fine you want your pattern, apply Simple - Diamonds, as many times as you like. I applied it 3 times. |

|
|
|
|
(OPTIONAL STEP) If you want a more 3D effect, select the lace pattern and apply a bevel. I used SuperBladePro - bevel_shiny. |
|
|
| Copy the top layer (the lace pattern), and paste it as a new layer on the background image. |
|
|
|
Effects - 3D Effects - Drop Shadow using the settings shown, or, make up your own. |
|
|
|
(OPTIONAL STEP) I like to apply FM Tile Tools - Blend Emboss. It's up to you, of course. Layers - Merge - Merge All (flatten) and you're finished. |
|
|
|
Try some variations, using Layer Blend Modes. Here are a couple of examples. |
||
|
Prior to the last step of the tut, change the blend mode on the lace layer to "Darken". Then do the last step (Blend Emboss / Merge Layers). |
|
|
|
Prior to the last step of the tut, change the blend mode on the lace layer to "Soft Light". Then do the last step (Blend Emboss / Merge Layers). |
|
|
|
