PTU Tutorial (Slight AC) ~ Dark Desires + Freebie Snags!
**This tutorial is my own creation, from my own imagination. Any similarities are completely coincidental!**
This tutorial was written in PSP9, but should easily convert to other versions.
Supplies
Kit: I'm using the very fun kit Dark Desires by Pink Paradox Productions. You can pick up this wonderful kit of 150 elements, 15 frames and 45 papers from her store HERE.
Tube: I'm using the beautiful artwork ©Arthur Crowe, Beauty Gift which you can buy from his store HERE. A license is required to use this tube.
Template: I'm using the template Sis_Tagger_Temp5 from the Scrap It Studio. You can pick this template up HERE.
Mask: I am using the mask Vintage Mosaic by Rocked by Rachel. You can pick up this mask HERE.
Font: I'm using the Font "Always Beside You" which can be found HERE.
Plugins:
Alien Skin Eye Candy 6: Gradient Glow (optional for the font).
Ready? Let's get started!
Open the template in PSP and Shift + D to duplicate it. Close the original. Delete the background layer.
Image > Canvas Size > 650x650.
For each layer of the template, you will need to go: Selections > Select All > Float > Defloat. Once you've pasted the paper you've chosen, you will need to: Selections > Invert and then hit the Delete key. Then delete the original layer in the template.
The papers I used were:
Dark Desires Papers (51) for Top Left Oval and Bottom Right Oval
Dark Desires Papers (3) for Top Bar and Bottom Bar
Dark Desires Papers (43) for Left Mat and Right Mat
Dark Desires Papers (16) for Left Frame and Right Frame
Dark Desires Papers (4) for Center Box
Dark Desires Papers (8) for Doodle
From the kit, copy Dark Desires (148) and paste as a new
layer on your canvas. Resize 50%.
From the kit, copy Dark Desires (43) and paste as a new
layer on your canvas. Resize 45%.
From the kit, copy Dark Desires (95) and paste as a new
layer on your canvas. Resize 35%.
Paste your tube as a new layer and re-size as needed.
Place your tube in the middle of the rope coil.
Select the layer with the rope coil. Selections > Select All > Float >
Defloat.
Select your tube layer and lower the opacity to where you
can see the rope through the tube.
Use your eraser tool to erase parts of the tube to give the
appearance that the tube is bound in the rope.
Duplicate your tube and move it under the rope coil. This will make the drop shadow more natural.
