PTU Tut ~ Falling for Autumn + FREE Snags!


*This tutorial is my own creations, from my own imagination.  Any similarities is completely coincidental!*

This tutorial was written in PSP9, but should easily transfer to other versions!

Supplies:


Kit: I am using the beautiful kit "Pumpkin Mocha" from Pink Paradox Productions.  This is a PTU kit that you can purchase HERE.  This is an amazing kit with 165 Elements, 12 Frames and 30 Papers!!

Tube of choice:  I'm using the gorgeous artwork of VeryMany called "Clover".  This is a PTU tube that you can purchase HERE.  Please do not use this tube without the proper licensing.

Mask of choice:  I'm using RR_MaskSet32_1 from the fabulous Rocked by Rachel.  You can pick this mask up HERE.  Be sure to leave her some love!

Font of choice: I'm using Yaquote Script, which can be found HERE.

Plugins:

Alien Skin Eye Candy 5: Impact :Gradient Glow



Ready?  Let's get started!

1.  In PSP, open a new document, 650x650, transparent background.

2.  From the kit, copy Pumpkin Mocha Frames (8) and paste on the canvas as a new layer.  Resize 55%.  Image > Rotate > Free Rotate > Left > 90 > All Layers UNCHECKED.

3.  Using your Magic Wand, click inside the frame.  Selections > Modify > Expand > 5.

4.  From the kit, copy Pumpkin Mocha Papers (11) and paste on the canvas as a new layer.  Move this layer under the frame.  Selections > Invert.  Hit the DELETE key on your keyboard.

5.  From the kit, copy Pumpkin Mocha (156) and paste on the canvas as a new layer.  Resize 40%.  The tree should be under the frame, but over the paper.  Move the tree so that the right hand branches are hanging out of the frame, but not off of the canvas.

6.  Using your Selection tool, feather at 0, select the portions of the tree on the left hand side of the frame that is showing.  See below:

Hit the DELETE key on your keyboard.

7.  Now, we want the tree to look like the right hand side of the tree is coming out of the frame.  With the tree layer selected, go to Selections > Select All > Float > Defloat.

8.  Grab your eraser tool with the following settings:


9.  In your layer palette, click on the Frame layer.

10.  Now, using your eraser tool, erase the parts of the frame that have the marching ants on the right hand side:


Once your done erasing, Selections > Select None.

11.  From the kit, copy Pumpkin Mocha (151) and paste on the canvas as a new layer.  Resize 50%.  Layers > Arrange > Bring to Top.  Move to the bottom of the frame.

12.  From the kit, copy Pumpkin Mocha (97) and paste on the canvas as a new layer.  Resize 50%.  Move to the bottom of the canvas.

14.  From the kit, copy Pumpkin Mocha (96) and paste on the canvas as a new layer.  Resize 40%.  Place over the brick layer.

15.  From the kit, copy Pumpkin Mocha (21) and paste on the canvas as a new layer.  Resize 20%.  Move slightly in front of the other deer.

16.  From the kit, copy Pumpkin Mocha (60) and paste on the canvas as a new layer.  Resize 30%.  Place on the left hand side of the tag.

17.  From the kit, copy Pumpkin Mocha (39) and paste on the canvas as a new layer.  Resize 10%.  Place on top of the table.

23.  From the kit, copy Pumpkin Mocha (24) and paste on the canvas as a new layer.  Resize 20%.  Image > Mirror.  Move in front of the weeds.

24.  Copy and paste your tube of choice on the canvas.  Resize as needed.

25.  Add your artist copyright information.

26.  For the name, I used the font Yaquote Script, size 72, stroke width 0.  I set my Foreground color at #4d0602 and Background at #f05c0d.

27.  Type your name and apply Alien skin Eye Candy 5: Gradient Glow with these settings:


28.  Apply a drop shadow of your choice to the elements, frame and name.  I used the setting of 2,2, 79, 8 for the elements and 2,2,79,4 for the name - color Black.

29.  From the kit, copy Pumpkin Mocha Papers (10).  Layers > Arrange > Send to Bottom.  Apply the mask of your choice.  Layers > Merge > Merge Group.

30.  I decided I actually wanted my mask to stand out a little more, so on the Layer Palette, right click on the mask layer and Duplicate.

31.  Layers > Merge > Merge Visible.  Save as a PNG and you're done!

Now on to the the FREE snags!!
