This tutorial is of my own creation and any resemblance to any other tuts is purely coincidental. This tutorial is for personal use only, using it for monetary gain is against our TOU's.
Supplies Needed:
~Gimp (any version will do).
~New Year PTU scrapkit which you can get from Addictive Pleasures
HERE.
~Tubes of choice. I used the art of Elias Chatzoudis, you must have a license to use his art which you can get
HERE.
~Template of choice. I used the Celebrate Template which you can get at Crazy Cakes Scraps
HERE.
~Mask of choice. I used AR315 mask 64 which you can get
HERE.
~Font of choice. I used Japan.
Let's get started!!!
1. Open a new layer ( I prefer a large canvas, so I make mine 1050x656). Make your canvas transparent (Layer > Transparency > Color to Alpha).
2. Open template in PSD format, move layers of template around until they are the way you like them.
~Add paper from scrapkit to individual layers of the template (Right click on template layer in layer box > Alpha to Selection > CTRL I > Select paper layer in layer box > Delete).
These are the papers I used:
Paper 2
Paper 3
Paper 10
Paper 12
~I added noise to some of the template layers to make them look glittery (Filters > Noise > RGB Noise).
~I colorized some of the template layers to better match the scrapkit (Colors > Colorize > play with the setting until you get the desired color).
~Add drop shadow to template layers (Filters > Light & Shadow > Drop Shadow).
3. Open tubes, I used both a full body and close ups. I lowered the opacity of the close ups to 50 (at the top of the layer box you will see a bar you can slide to change the opacity of the selected layer). Add drop shadow to the full body tube.
4. Open and place the following elements:
Music Notes
Stars
Fireworks
Sparkles2
Piano Keys
Champagne
Glass2
Sizzle Stick
2011
Star
Hat
Watch
Mask
~Some of the elements may need to be sized down. Using your scale tool in your tool box adjust the pixel size until element is the correct size~
~Add drop shadow to all elements~
5. Open Paper 5
6. Open mask
7. Add mask to paper (click

8. Merge Layers (Image > Merge Visible Layers).
9. Crop Image (Image > Autocrop Image).
10. Scale image to desired size (Image > Scale Image).
11. Add copyright info and name
12. Save as .png
ALL DONE!!!!!!!!!!
