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).

~Denim Days PTU scrapkit by KnC Scrapz which you can get from Lollipops N Gumdrops HERE.

~Tube of choice. I used the artwork of VeryMany, this tube is a SATC exclusive. You must have a license to use this art which you can get HERE.

~Template of choice. I used Leah's Template 108 which you can get on our blog HERE.

~Mask of choice. I used WSL mask 302 which you can get HERE.

~Font of choice. I used Weltron.

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 4
Paper 8

~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 Burn (at the top of your Layer Box you will see where it says Mode, click the arrow and select Burn 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 full body tube.

Sequins
Sign 2
Element 1
Glitter
Rope
Bubbles
Pocket 2
Button rope
Clock
Flower 1
Flower 2

~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 (except Glitter & Bubbles)~

7. Add mask to paper (click HERE for a tut on using masks).
