These are the papers I used: Paper 2 Paper 3 Paper 15 ~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). ~I beveled the text on this template to give it a shiny effect (Filters > Decor > Add Bevel).

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). ~Emo Cutie PTU scrapkit by Toxic Desirez which you can find HERE. ~Tubes of choice. I used the artwork of Alex Prihodko, you must have a license to use this art which you can get HERE. ~Template of choice. I used the Bad Self Template which you can get from Crazy Cakes Scraps HERE. ~Font of choice. I used Retrofit Light. 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 18 Paper 25 Paper 31 ~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 a close-up. I changed the mode on the close-up to HardLight (at the top of your Layer Box you will see where it says Mode, click the arrow and select HardLight from the drop down menu). The close-up has been added to the template 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. 4. Open and place the following elements: Doodle Flame Razor Blade Ribbon 2 Skull 5 Chrome Skull Flower 1 Flower 2 Bomb Spider Butterfly 1 Sparkles ~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 Background element from scrapkit. Place it under all other layers of the tag. This will give the effect of using a mask. 6. Merge Layers (Image > Merge Visible Layers). 7. Crop Image (Image > Autocrop Image). 8. Scale image to desired size (Image > Scale Image). 9. Add copyright info and name 10. Save as .png ALL DONE!!!!!!!!!!
