~Tubes of choice. I used the artwork of Arthur Crowe, you must have a license to use this art which you can get HERE.
~Template of choice. I used the Jehsee Template which you can get from Annaica's Place HERE.
~Mask of choice. I used WSL mask 302 which you can get HERE.
~Font of choice. I used Whatka.
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 3
Paper 7
Paper 9
Paper 11
~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 2 close-ups. I changed the mode on the close-ups to Screen (at the top of your Layer Box you will see where it says Mode, click the arrow and select Screen from the drop down menu). The close-ups have been added to the template (directly on top of Paper 11) in the same way you add paper (Right click on template layer in layer box > Alpha to Selection > CTRL I > Select tube layer in layer box > Delete). Add drop shadow to the full body tube (and the puppy dog tube as well).
4. Open and place the following elements:
Ribbon 2
Punk Teddy
Skull 1
Skull 2
String 2
Button 3
Star
Lip
Guitar
Headphones
~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 18
6. Open mask
7. Add mask to paper (click HERE for a tut on using masks)
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!!!!!!!!!!
