Kelly Clarkson tutorial - PSP7

I've never done a tutorial before, so I'm gonna have a go. It's very simple, but looks pretty cool, I think. :) This was made in PSP7, but i'm sure it can be translated, super easy like.

Here's what we will be making today...

Kinda image heavy...



This is the picture we will be iconing....

I resized the picture to 200x301 pixels so it’ll fit in the wittle square. The I positioned it like I like it.

Ew. Boring.

I went to Effects>sharpen>sharpen more.

I duplicated the layer, and set it to “hard light”

I added a new layer and filled it with the color #09277B, set it to exclusion, 50% opacity.

I wrote the word “goin” in font palantino linotype, size 6, and slanted it to fit, then did the same with the word “crazy”

I then added a border brush, I’m so sorry I can’t remember who to credit…let me know if you made it….I didn’t make it though.

I merged all layers and saved as a .png, and voila! Crazy Kelly Clarkson icon!
