Victorian Stocking
The inspiration for this tutorial came from a very creative lady!
Thanks so much Sherri for allowing me to use your idea for this one.

You will Load from the Alpha Channel (not Selections).  Everything you need is on the canvas.  Make sure you have your Layer Palette visible.

I left a background layer.  You may want to flood fill to help you see better.  This image is fairly transparent. You may want to flood fill with the background color you want to use the image on and select colors that will go with the background.  You can delete this layer before merging.

Open Victorian Stocking ©2004 Carla Polston canvas and stocking1fill-cp
Duplicate image (Shift D) and save the original.
Save As and name in PSP format.
Use any fills or colors you want. I provided what I used. You may colorize the fill.
