PTU Funky Beach Babe

This tutorial was written by me on July 23, 2013.

It was made out of my own creation and any similarity is purely coincidental.

I used PSPx2 but any version would work.

Artist: The Hunter

You can find his tubes at Scraps And The City  HERE

Do not use this tube unless you have a license.

Scrap Kit: Funky Beach by Bibi's Collection

You can find this kit at Scraps And The City   HERE

Mask: WSL 59 (Wee Scott Lass)  HERE

Template:  MPM Template 286  HERE

Font:   

 

Here goes:

The Template first:

Open template in PSP.  Hold down SHIFT button and tap your “D” key.  Close the original template.  Delete the “Raster2” layer with her CR info on it.

I don't like a white background unless I really need one, so I clear the white background by highlighting the BACKGROUND layer and go to EDIT - CLEAR.

Next I changed the canvas size to 800 X 800.  We are gonna do basically the same thing for the following layers, so in an effort to stop repeating myself, here is what you will do for each layer that we change out:

Highlight layer.  SELECTIONS - SELECT ALL - FLOAT - DE FLOAT

Open Paper - C/P - SELECTIONS - INVERT - DELETE - SELECTIONS - SELECT NONE

Delete layer. 

So it will go something like this:

You will be changing layers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. 

For this tag, you can go ahead and delete layers 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 as well as Raster 1.

Highlight 1.  Follow directions above.  Use Paper1

Highlight 2.  Same as above.  Use Paper 12. 
Highlight 4.  Same as above.  Use Paper 12.

Highlight 3.  Same as above.  Use Paper 5.

Highlight 5.  Same as above.  Use Paper 3.

Highlight 6.  Same as above.  Use Paper 2.

For this tag, if you are going to use the same tube as me, use the CU. 

Highlight 3 (Paper 5 layer).  
SELECTIONS - SELECT ALL - FLOAT - DE FLOAT.

C/P the CU and move it into place.  Re-size 70%.   
SELECTIONS - INVERT - DELETE - INVERT.

Duplicate tube layer.

ADJUST – BLUR – GAUSSIAN BLUR – RADIUS 25 - OK

Change BLEND MODE of copy of tube layer to HARD LIGHT and go to original tube layer and change BLEND MODE to OVERLAY.

Do the same for 4 (Paper 12).  Mirror tube layer and re-size 80%.
Highlight 2 (lower Paper layer 12).  C/P element 49 and place in middle of that paper layer.  Change BLEND MODE to LUMINANCE (L)
Highlight 5 (Paper layer 3).  C/P element 48 and re-size 96%.  Move into middle of this paper layer.   Change BLEND MODE to LUMINANCE (L).
Move 1 (Paper 1 layer) up over, and into the middle of 6 (Paper 2 layer). 

(see tag for placements)

  

Now for some elements:

Element 60 – C/P and re-size 50%%.  Move to bottom left corner of tag.  Duplicate and mirror and re-size 60%.

(see tag for placement)

Element 22 – C/P and move to bottom left side of tag.

(see tag for placement)

Element 23 – C/P and mirror and move to bottom left side of tag in front of element 22.

(see tag for placement)

Element 43 – C/P and re-size 50%.  Move to bottom middle of tag.

(see tag for placement)

Element 5 – C/P and move a bit to the right but over element 43.

(see tag for placement)

Element 21 – C/P and re-size 70%.  Move to right side of tag over paper 1 layer.

(see tag for placement)

Element 80 – C/P and re-size 50%.  Move to left side tag.

(see tag for placement)

Element 92 – C/P and re-size 50%.  Move to left side of tag in front of element 80.

(see tag for placement)

Element 47 – C/P and re-size 30%.  Move to left side of tag over element 92.

(see tag for placement)

Element 46 - C/P and re-size 40%.  Move to left side of tag in front of element 43.

(see tag for placement)

Element 15 - C/P and re-size 30%.  Move to right side of tag over element 46.

(see tag for placement)

Now for the mask layer:

Open Paper 11.

Highlight very bottom layer.  SELECTIONS - SELECT ALL

Copy and Paste into Selection Paper 11.  Open element 30.  C/P and move to very bottom of tag.  Merge this layer down to paper 11 layer.

Go to LAYERS – NEW MASK LAYER – FROM IMAGE – SOURCE LUMINANCE CHECKED – CHOOSE WSL59 from the drop down menu – OK.

Now the tube layer:

If you are using the same tube as me, C/P the full tube and re-size 60%.  Mirror and move to left side of tag in front of all other layers.

 (see tag for placement)

Add drop shadow to layers of your choosing.

I used

Opacity 70
