DOWNLOAD SUPPLIES HERE:

1. Go to file/new image and make your settings like mine below:

2. Click on your materials pallet and your click on the color tab when the box comes up. In HTML place this number there. #7a8e8e

3. Click on your paint bucket and flood fill your working canvas with the green.

4. Go to file/open look for the unicorn in the supplies and open it up in your PSP.

5. With your unicorn tube open go to edit/copy.

6. Go back to your working canvas and go to selections and select all.

7. Go back edit and paste into the selections.

8. Notice that I still only have raster 1 and my unicorn is now apart of the green background.

9. See above that the raster 1 layer is highlighted that is referred as activated. Take your mouse and right click on Raster 1, when the choices come up click on rename and rename the Raster 1 layer bk.

10. Go to selections/select none.

11. Go to effects/Texture effect/Mosaic-Glass and apply the same settings that I have below.

12. Go back to your unicorn tube and go to edit/copy.

13. On your working canvas to edit/paste as a new layer.

14. You will now show two layers, your bk and Raster 1. Like above right click on raster 1 layer and rename it unicorn.

15. With your unicorn layer activated lets add a different color drop shadow to see the effect. I used: #ceaa94 as the color in the drop shadow. See below. NOTE: To change the color just click in the color box and place the above number in the HTML box.

16. Right click on the layer unicorn and merge it all flatten. You will notice that the layers have changed to 1 layer and its named background. Why do you ask that we name our layers above? To get you used to it. Name your layers is the key to a successful project. The larger it is the more layers you will have, and the more you have the easier it is to get lost. Renaming them helps you keep them in check.

22. Go back to effects/3d effects/drop shadow and apply a reverse drop shadow. A reverse drop shadow is simply changing the vertical and Horizontal to negative numbers to match the positive numbers so in this case you change them to -1 vertical and -1 Horizontal. Opacity and blur, stay the same.
