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).

~Complicated PTU scrapkit by Sweet Cravings Scraps which you can get HERE.

~Tube of choice. I used the artwork of Elias Chatzoudis, you must have a license to use this art which you can get HERE.

~Template of choice. I used Leah's template 159 which you can get on our blog HERE.

~Mask of choice. I used WSL mask 84 which you can get HERE.

~Font of choice. I used Luna Bar.

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 1
Paper 3
Paper 4
Paper 7
Paper 14

~I added noise to some of the template layers to make them look glittery (Filters > Noise > RGB Noise).

~I added a bevel effect to some of the template layers (Filters > Decor > Add Bevel).

~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 tube, add drop shadow.

4. Open and place the following elements:

Moon
Grass 2
Buzzard
Metal Skull 3
Cauldron of Skulls
Mushroom 3
Leaf 2
Leaf 3
Flower 2
Bat
Chain Arrow 2
Pin 3

~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 Moon & Grass 2)~

5. Open Paper 8

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!!!!!!!!!!

My dear friend Tasha was looking for a Halloween kit that was mainly orange and black. I didn't think that was such a tall order until I tried hunting for one and realized they all contain purple, green or teal. So I decided to make a kit inspired by Tasha...LOL. I hope you all like it as much as she did :)
