Tweed Background Tiles


I would like to thank Julie for the original idea for this tutorial

Click above to see Her PSP tutorials

You will need Mura's Tiling with Shrink (Download Here) ,
and Simple Diamonds (Download Here) Plugins for this tutorial

Open the graphic You want to use for Your tiling background


For the seamless effect it needs to be 100 x 100 or 150 x 150 or 200 x 200
I used 200 x 200

Using the selection tool select an area 200 x 200




Go to Edit/Copy

then Edit/Paste as new image


Now select Effects/Plugins/Mura's Seamless Tiling with Shrink


Use the following settings


You can use as is or for added effects go tp Effects/Plugins/Simple/Diamonds


Click OK

You should now have a image like this


Enter Shift D to duplicate

Select the duplicated image and go to Image/Mirror

You should now have an Image2 with a mirrored effect


Select Image2 and Edit/Copy

Then Select Image 1 and Edit/Paste as New Layer

Now open Your layer pallet and select the layer and change the opacity to your liking



This is the effect I ended up with using the opacity above




Save this as a .jpg file and You can use for a background for your stationery and it will be seamless

You can also add a layer to this. Flood fill with white, lower your oapcity to the desired effect and save if You want a more muted effect
