This is my try at tut 3. It's totally missed. I don't know what happened but my PSP started to work like crazy, the plug-in didn't work and then other things. I saved it like I was able to but I'm not at all satisfied. Mardi Gras isn't a very nice time for me it makes me bad at ease for some unknown reason so I think it will be the only stat on that theme for this year

Brushed With Lines?Tutorial by
?
?
Any resemblance to another tutorial is purely coincidental and unintended. Please do not re-copy, translate?or add this tutorial to any website without my knowledge and permission.
?
Skill level: Beginner. This tutorial assumes you know how to use basic menu tools and functions in Paint Shop Pro. This?tutorial was written using PSP?version #10.
?
Required Supplies:
?
Programs:
Paint Shop Pro ()
Incredimail Letter Creator ()
?
Plugins:
No outside plugins are required.
?
Materials:
?
Brush Tip Fuzz?Soft?(Check to see if your PSP already has it. If not, it is available in my group's files section - ).

A medium size pixel tube of your choice.
Complimentary smaller accent pixel tube(s).
?
*Note: Although this tutorial is intended for use with small size pixel tubes, you may also use a single tall / thin tube in this tutorial.
?
Step 1: Prepare your pixel tubes for use!
?
* If you are using?pixel tubes that?are alone on a canvas, simply go to the Edit menu, choose Copy and then Paste as a?New?Image.
?
* If you are using a pixel sheet with several tubes on it, you may have to do either of the following:
?
a) Check to see if each tube is already on its own separate layer. If so, simply use your mover tool to click on the pixel tube you wish to use. This will activate the layer of that tube. Go to the Edit menu and choose Copy, then Paste as a New Image. You will need to repeat this process to copy each tube from the sheet you wish to use on your stationary.
?
b) Some pixel tube sheets do not have the individual tubes on their own layers. If this is the case with the sheet you are using, you can use either your selection or freehand selection tools to trace around the tube you wish to copy. Once you have "marching ants" around the tube you wish to use, go to Edit, then Copy and then Paste as a New Layer. You will need to repeat this process to copy each tube from the sheet you wish to use on your stationary.
?
Note! When you paste each pixel tube or accent as a new image, it may or may not have excess empty space surrounding it. If your tube has excess space around it:
?
Activate your magic wand tool and click the empty space. Go to Selections and choose Invert. When the marching ants are surrounding your tube, go to Image, Crop to Selection. Once you've copied your pixel tubes and accents, place each on your workspace and move to step 2.
?
Step 2: Prepare your?airbrushed side border!
?
1. File, New:
?

?

?
* If your medium size pixel tube is wider than 140 pixels or taller than 180 pixels, follow steps #16 through #18. If not, skip to step #19.
?
17. Image, Resize:
?
Width: 140 pixels maximum.
