PTU Tutorial ~ Bonjour Paris + FREE Snags!!
**This tutorial is my own creation, from my own imagination. Any similarities are purely coincidental!**
This tutorial was written in PSP9, but should work well in other versions!
This tutorial was written in PSP9, but should work well in other versions!
Supplies:
Kit: I'm using the beautiful kit Bonjour Paris by the talented Drea's Creations. This is a gorgeous kit of whimsy romance with 111 elements and 22 papers!! You can pick up this amazing kit at either HeartBeatz Creationz, Pimpin' PSPers Warehouse, or Tiny Turtle Designs.
Tube of choice: I'm using the beautiful artwork ©Di Halim, that is an Exclusive at Pics For Design, called Anna.
Mask: I'm using 102 by Millie's PSPMadness, which you can find HERE.
Template: I'm using Template 723, also by Millie. You can find this template HERE.
Font of Choice
Plugins:
Xero: Porcelain
Eye Candy 6: Gradient Glow (optional for text)
Ready? Let's get started!
In PSP, open the template. Shift + D to duplicate and close out the original.
Delete the copyright and both word art layers.
Resize all layers 80%.
Image > Canvas Size > 650x650.
Remember to add your drop shadow through the tagging process! My settings for this tag are: 2, -2, 80, 7.00.
For each layer of the template, you will need to go
Selections > Select All > Float > Defloat prior to pasting your chosen
paper as a new layer. After pasting the
chosen paper, Selections > Invert and DELETE. It’s very important to delete the template
layer after pasting your paper, otherwise you end up with odd outlines! I also resized each paper 70% prior to
pasting as a new layer. These papers are
gorgeous and I wanted the patterns to clearly show on the template!
Papers used, in order from the bottom to the top:
Layers 1 & 2 (Black Rectangles): DC_Paper16
Layers 3 & 4 (Green Circles): DC_Paper2
Layers 5 & 6 (Black Diamond Circles): DC_Paper4
Layers 7 & 8 (Grey Squares): DC_Paper15
Layers 9 & 10 (Dots): DC_Paper9
Layers 11 & 12 (Red Circles): DC_Paper1
Layers 13 & 14 (Grey Rectangles): DC_Paper7
Layers 15 (Large Black Rectangle): DC_Paper9
Layers 16 & 17 (Glitter rectangles): Colorize > Hue
126, Saturation 71
Layers 18 & 19 (Red Rectangles): DC_Paper6
Now, I wanted the Glitter Rectangles to act as more of a
frame than a background for the red rectangles (previously layers 18 & 19),
so for each layer: Selections > Select All > Float > Defloat, then
click on the corresponding glitter rectangle and DELETE. Move these layers to the top and when you add
a drop shadow, you will see they are frames!
From the kit, copy DC_100 and paste as a new layer on you
tag. Resize 60%.
Layers > Arrange > Send to Bottom
You can colorize it, if you’d like, but I opted to leave it
silver.

Copy your tube onto your tag. Re-size and arrange it to make the tube
appear to be sitting on the stool.
Duplicate your main tube. Apply Xero: Porcelain with the default setting. Change the blend mode to Screen.
Paste your tube (or close up if you have one) again as a new
layer. Select the large rectangle
(previously Layer 15). Selections >
Select All > Float > Defloat. Line
your tube up to where the face is focused within the selected rectangle. Selections > Invert > DELETE. Change the blend mode the Screen and the
Opacity to 70. Move this layer down to
right on top of the large rectangle.
Select one of the papers and paste it as a new layer. Layers > Arrange > Send to Bottom. Apply your mask.
Add your proper copyright information.
