For Paint Shop Pro? I've been trying to work on this myself.

So far this is what I've been able to do. I want it to look better! How do you make your chipboard? Is it a plugin you use? If you use PhotoShop is there a tutorial that is step by step that I might be able to alter for PSP?

Those are so cute! I can't help though - I made up my own method and it's in PhotoShop. ;)

Leah,

I did a Paint Shop Pro tutorial for a past TidBytes ezine over at Scrapbook-Bytes. I think it was the January 2006 issue, and it should still be available for sale.

It looks like you've got a great start on chipboard elements. The thing that my tutorial did, though, was use a brush on the "painted" area so that it looked as if it had been worn. I particularly used the brush around the edges. The tutorial included a cross-hatch brush that I made. However, I have also used dirty-looking brushes to scuff up the edges.

I hope I've helped.

I use an action that I bought, but it's for PS...I have no idea if it works in PSP.

I'm a PSP user too and have often wondered about this. I'll go get that ezine Kathryn! thanks so much for telling us about it! Shoot, I may even have it already, lol :lol:

PS actions won't work in PSP, unfortunately.

Thanks for the great link. I actually think I might be moving to photo shop pretty soon... much more powerful program.

Is the brush included with the tutorial or is for separate purchase??

Thanks!!
