Creating Stitches in Paint Shop Pro

Step 2

Now that you have your flower drawn it's time to add your stitching. Select the brushes option in the tool bar.

Then go up to the top to pick out the brush you would like. I picked the X shaped brushes for this tutorial. SInce I am doing this for the web I picked the X shaped 15 brushes. You can play around with the different sizes for different projects.

The fun part! Let's get those stitches on our flower. This is where the Vector Paint script comes in. Go to File > Script > Run and then load the script from wherever you saved it at.

Your flower should now have stitches on it. Next we will spruce up our flower and our stitches a bit to make them look a little more realistic.

Select your stitches from the layer palette. Then let's add a inner bevel. To do this go to 3D Effects > Inner Bevel

Change your settings to the following

Offset:
Smoothness: 3
Depth: 1
Ambience: 3
Shininess :2

and click OK.

Next we will add a drop shadow to the stitches.

To do this go to 3D Effects like you did before, this time selecting Drop Shadow. Change your settings to the following

Offset:
Vertical: 5
Horizontal: 5
Opacity: 70
Blur: 10

and click OK.
