Donated steps from all...lol

Ok we had a class and everyone took a turn on giving
a step to do. It turned out really pretty and I was
asked by a few how we did it, so I am going to try and
tell ya. 1st this is what we made and what this tut
will help you make

Ok Step 1 find a picture you want to use...I will use this one

Open it in psp and go to edit copy then edit paste
as new image. Close the original so you dont lose it.
Now, get your selection tool settings are

and draw around the part of the image you want to
use...dont get to close to the edges :)
Something like this

Now go to edit and copy, then edit paste as new image
and you can close the other image. Now we have this

Add a new layer to your image. Ok, get your eye
dropper tool and pick a color from your picture. Next get your
lil bucked tool and flood fill the image. Next go to layers
arrange send to bottom.
You should now have something similar to this.

Now go to effects textured effects texture. These
settings are really up to you, but here are the ones I am
using for this picture

I think that texture is called granite, but dont hold
me to that :)I know have this

Ok you can now go to layers merge all flatten
Next be sure your background color is white and go to image
add borders and apply these settings

Now get your magic wand and with these settings

Click on the white area around your image so that you have this

Now go to effects plugins flaming pear super blade pro
or just blade pro and apply your choice of settings.
I now have this

Dont deselect yet...go to selections invert.
Now go to effects 3d cutout and apply these settings (I cant
remember the exact settings we used, but play with it till you
get something you like) Here are my settings

Now apply these settings again, but change the vertical
and horizontal to minus 2
Go to selections select none. Almost done :)
Go to edit copy...Now go to edit paste as new image...set
the original to the side for a second. On the one you just
pasted go to effects reflections kalidoscope and apply
these settings

Now...go back to the other image

and go to edit copy...now go to the one you applied
the kalidoscope to be sure you have that image selected and
go to edit paste as new layer. It will totally cover the
image below it.Now go to image resize and use these settings
(be sure all layers is NOT checked)

Now go to effects sharpen and sharpen 1 time
Go to layers Merge all flatten
I now have this

Ok...yes almost done :)
Be sure background color is still white and go to image
add border and use the same settings as before.
Repeat the previous steps...Get the magic wand...same
settings, click on the white border and apply the same
blade pro preset. Now Invert and apply the same cutout
as before. 1st using vertical and horizontal set at 2,
then again set at minus 2. Go to selections select none.
I now have this

Ok, thats it :) add a few sparkles, or whatever
you want and you are done. Bet you thought I would
never finish...lol Hope you like
