My Fairy Ring
You will need my tube here
or one of your own.
( The fairy is one I have drawn and painted myself
and need to add copyright unless you have to)
Open a new transparent canvas 500x 500
Click on the fairy tube-raster 2 layer- edit copy-click on your
canvas-edit paste as a new layer.
No need to resize the fairy even though it
is too big for the canvas
Effects-reflection effects-kaleidoscope with the settings on the
screen shot.
Repeat the kaleidoscope effect with the same settings
Layers -duplicate and hide the top layer.
Work on the original
Effects -artistic effects-topography -default setting
Unhide the top layer and add a new layer
Flood fill this layer with a colour to match your tube.
Layers -arrange-send to the bottom.
Layers-merge visible. Reduce the opacity to 60%
Layers merge all and flatten
Image-resize 75%-maintain original print size ticked.
Image -add border-size3-symmetric in a dark colour from your tube.
Image- add border-size 30 in a lighter colour from your tube
With your magic wand select the last border.
Effects-art media-brushstrokes on default setting
Effects-distortion effects-pixelate on default setting.
Select None
Image-add border size 3 in the dark colour you used before
If you are using my fairy-click on tube -image resize-70%
Copy and paste as a new layer and place to the left of the canvas.
If you are using one of your own resize
until you can position it as I have done.
Effects- 3d -drop shadow -default setting but change the vertical
and horizontal to 5
Add the dark colour to the foreground box of the colour palette and
the light colour to the background box.
Preset shape-rectangle with line width 4 and line style dash dot dot
Draw a rectangle to the right of the tube as in my tag.
To add the text have the settings as in the screenshot paying
particular attention to the text direction box.
Add the same drop shadow as before and that's the tutorial finished.
I hope that you enjoy doing it.
