If you have come here from the Pen Tool PSP 9 then skip on down to step 3.

For this tutorial you will need Jasc PSP 9 .

This was written using 9 but it can be done in 8 or 7.

You can get my alpha-channel canvas here.

Below is the smudge settings I used.

You will need my alpha channel canvas and supplies here. On the canvas I have placed the colors I used.

1. Load alpha channel stem and flood fill with  first color on chart, then click float. Apply cutout horizontal and vertical 0, opacity 100, blur 2 color dark green. Turn this layer off. Click on the main stem layer, convert to raster layer. Apply cutout change blur to 4.

2. Do the same for the leaf stems.

3. Load alpha channel Leaf 1 flood fill with first color on chart. De-select add new vector layer  Use pen tool to draw in the spine using color 4. Convert to raster layer Gaussian blur 1.50 to 2. Lower opacity to 64% to 85%. Keep selected.

Add new layer and move it below the spine layer use second color air brush using setting below.

Spray as in screen shot. Smudge from inside moving out to ends.

Add new layer air brush as in screen shot using the last color on chart. Smudge

Add new layer and use 3rd color on chart and spray as in screen shot. Smudge

When you get to leaf 7 change the pen tool size to 0.75, the gaussian blur to 0.75.

When you get to leaf 11 change the pen tool size to 0.50, the gaussian blur to 0.50.

That's all there is to shading you Ivy Vine.
