Angry Bee Template

Open the angry bee template in PSP...Duplicate it and close the original for use again, later Open both texts and minimize them to task bar if you are using mine...add a new raster layer and click on the text tool using these settings...Font_Camolage...size set at 72...floating and antalias checked...stroke set at black...and use a fill set at your choice of colour....I used #808000...add an inner bevel with these settings

Move the text over to the very right of your canvas...deselect....Move the TEXT layer below the Bee 1 layer, making sure the Angry Bee is touching the letter to be stung...open bee 2 to judge where the bee is coming on to the canvas......open angry bee to see what letter he will attack..I had to squeeze my name in so he could land on my letter...if you have to do the same just use the deform tool and squeeze your name in.. open Bee22 layer so you can be sure he is leaving your first letter. now move your text so it is right under the angry bee..like so

Add a new raster layer..now with the text tool ...using same colour and size... (you might want to use a different colour fill for this letter, such as red or deep pink) and using Assylum font.. type only the single letter the angry bee will be stinging... ..add an inner bevel with these settings

place the single letter right on top of the matching text letter..like so

deselect... Duplicate your text layer and turn off the original...with the lasso tool and the copy of text layer the active layer......lasso around the letter you are replacing and hit delete... close off all layers except the copy of text and the single letter... merge these 2 layers and call it copy of text... the letter looks a little bigger but that's ok, we all swell up when bitten

OK, Here's where I'm going to resize mine, it's way too big....go to image...resize..Pixels 400... make sure all layers is checked and maintain aspect is checked.. ...in the drop down box click on Bicubic Resample...hit ok...now you can leave yours big if you wish, this is just my choice
