Sundog Creations Valentine Tutorial

Software: Photo Impact 7 or 8 Author Polly Morris Home Page: Sundog Creations Title:Valentine Heart Candles Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate Additional Tools: None
Description: Make a romantic heart candle for your sweetheart!

1. With the path drawing tool, 3 D , draw a heart 30 wide 160 high. Change the border to 22 , see screenshot below.

2. On the path panel, click on the light to change the lighting. I brought mine up near the top.

3.Make a small gray line for the wick.

4.For the flame, take the path drawing tool, custom shape, brush tip 2. color #FFFFC4 2 D. Draw a shape , and with the transform tool, make it a bit skinny. Duplicate the flame and change the color to black. With the eraser tool, erase most of the black flame, so that just a little bit of the bottom is showing.

Right click and set the soft edge to 10. You can make it a bit transparent if you like. Place it at the bottom of your first flame.

It is a good idea now to select all objects and combine as single object.

5. Take the path drawing too, 2 D, color yellow , draw an ellipse. Convert it to an object, and right click and set the soft edge to 14, and change the transparency to 39. Place this behind your flame. Duplicate and change the transparency on the duplicated one to 71. Place this one in front of your flame. Merge all as single object. Thats it , all finished. These look really nice on a black background. Don't forget to save this to your easy palette. Have fun, and Happy Valentines Day!
