PSPX3 Group: December 2022

CHRISTMAS BREAK ACTIVITIES DECEMBER 19-JANUARY 2

We all need a little break as the busy holiday season comes upon us,
so PSPX3 will be putting its usual challenges and activities on hold from December 19 - January 2.

Below are some tutorials and activities to play with during that time.
We would love to see what you create, so please share your work.
You do not need to follow a tutorial "to the letter," but instead choose a copyright compliant tube you like,
use scrap kits that you have, etc. Change the theme, if you wish....
...so if it's a Christmas-themed tutorial and you want to make it a Valentine theme...go right ahead!
You do not need to animate if you are uncomfortable with that effect.
JUST HAVE FUN!!! (and watch for possible prizes along the way)
We are suggesting you use the subject line below so we don't miss anything.

YOUR NAME - # of the tute/activity from the list
(If I did tutorial #50 from the list, my subject line would be: Cathy #50)

We may also post some additional challenges during this time...we'll just play it by ear. :)

We still plan to be around in mail, but just might be a little busier offline, too.

Wishing you and yours a BEAUTIFUL holiday season!

Hugs,
Owners and Mods

Facts About Horses
Horses are incredible creatures, and there are more than 400 different horse breeds.
A horse can weigh as much as 998 kilograms and they can be as big as 175 cm from hoof to shoulder.
Of course, tiny horses are in existence too. The smallest breed of horse can weigh as little as 54 kilograms and
be as small as 76 cm.

BATH CHALLENGE - WEEK OF 12/05/22

I know a lot of you need a break from shopping!
So let's take a nice, soothing bath.

Make a tag with a bath tub in it or taking a bath.
You might want to add bubbles, LOL.
Any type of tag featuring taking a bath!!!!!

How to Celebrate Bathtub Party Day
Take a Bubble Bath
A bath does seem incomplete without bubbles for some reason, so feel free to add bubble bath.

BUTTERFLY LOVER TUTORIAL HERE

This one does use any outside plug-ins

The tutorial is written based on the image she used.
I think that you can adapt to with the image you want to use on this one.
For the middle image, I just used the close up.

Used the full tube on the side where I added, duplicated and mirrored
Added a blend mode to the one on the right

I also added a border

You can make it your way, I just like the effect in the background

You don't have to do the avatar unless you want

CHRISTMAS MARIE TUTORIAL HERE

Very nice, quick and easy tutorial.
Note - all supplies are included by the tutorial writer
The mask was a pspimage, so I converted (if you need) to jpg

I loved the way I learned how to do a different way to
add the mask!

This does use one plug-in
DSB FLUX - Central Mirror

You do not have to do the avatar unless you want.
