Using Digistamps and Brushes ...Part Four.. Digistamps as a pattern in PSP



In this part we will be using a Digistamp in PSP  and turning it into a pattern and using it for a background paper..


Open your PSP  this will work in all versions... Im using psp9 here  however some of the newer ones will have the tools in a different place..



  What you'll need:  Background paper:   Digistamp:  Colour Palette: Textures

Download the supplies I've used


To read about digistamps and how to install PS and AI brushes got to the files pages above or click here


open your PSP Files file folder and find the Patterns folder




go into here and make a new folder and call it digistamps





now open the zip with your supplies in or a digistamp of your own and drag or copy/paste into your new folder within "patterns"



Now open PSP


Open a paper of your choice or a new image and flood fill this with a colour or gradient
heres mine



Now on your materials palette click on the foreground to open it
click on the Pattern tab



then the tiny arrow next to the preview this will open another menu with a drop down box at the top
find your new digistamps folder and open that


now choose the stamp you want to use 



make sure your tools are set to flood fill



now set your angle and scale..this is a matter of trial and error  most digistamps are quite large to allow for full page use  if making the scale too much smaller detracts from the pattern you can adjust the scale of the stamp in the folder say make it 50% smaller  youll get the idea once you start playing


Make new layer on your paper or image and flood fill with the pattern  here ive used the large damask stamp  it is a biggie so ive set the angle at 45 and the scale at 16 and got this.



Try different scales and angles till  you get a pattern you are happy with

Now we can recolour the pattern layer or use different blend and textures as we did in the previous tutorials.

luminance blend

Try changing the colour of the stamp layer
Try different textures
