He is Risen

For this tutorial you will need the materials in the zip file below.

Thanks go to Nikita for the flowers; wieskes for the baby tube, owner of the text found on Pinterest and PamelaD of Arasimages for the lovely Jesus on the Cross tube I have used.

Unzip the materials into a working folder you have created on your desktop named He is Risen. Please duplicate and close original tubes using the copies for your work so you will not lose the originals. Export Brush Bokeh_37 into your PSP Brushes folder. I have used the plugins Creativity/Splatter and Transparency/Eliminate White in this tutorial. It is assumed you have a working knowledge of PSP to follow these directions. I have used PSP2019 for this tutorial but other versions may be used.
