Electric Slide-FTU

2012-02-11T14:41:00.002-06:00

Supplies needed:

1 tube of choice. I am using the amazing work of Ismael Rac. You may purchase it at his store.

Please do not use his work if you do not have a license.

Scrap kit is by me, so is the template. You can downoad both from my Box.

Open the template. Hit shift+D to duplicate and close the original. Go to Image>Canvas size and put in 700X700. This gives us

space to work.

Now on the black rectangle use your magic wand and click it.Go to Selections>modify>smooth and set both numbers at 10

Select a paper of choice for this, and word to the wise, a more textured

paper instead of one with a pattern works best. Copy and paste your paper, and then copy and paste your tube of choice.

You do not have to have your tube perfect in there, matter of fact as odd as it sounds, do something like cut her in half.

Now go to selections>invert and hit delete on both your paper and tube layers. Selections>Select None

Delete the original rectangle layer.

Now go to the next shape layer(lt pk rectangle) and click on it with your magic wand, and go to Selections>Modify>smooth and it should

already be set from the first time. Hit okay and copy and paste your paper of choice. Go to selections>invert and make sure

you are on your paper layer and hit delete. Selections>Select none. Delete original layer.

Now repeat all that for the remaining layers. Make sure after you select none you delete all the original layers.

Now open SR-Frame and copy and paste it on your canvas as a new layer. resize it to fit the tag better you want it to be bigger

then the tube is, so it looks a little wonky.LOL

Off-set it to the side a little bit. See my tag for details.

Now add elements that enhance the tube, but don't overwhelm the tag.

Now go back to your tube and duplicate it. On the original(bottom) layer go to adjust>blur>guassian blur> and set it to 2.00

Now play with the blend modes of both the top tube layer and the bottom tube layer. I set the bottom to Luminance(legacy)

and the top I set on overlay.

Now add your name, artist copyright, and your taggers mark, and your all done. To save with a clear background save as PNG

if you want the white background then save as a jpeg.

New Years Fun

2011-12-16T13:44:00.001-06:00

Supplies needed:

1 to 2 tubes of choice, upclose would work best. I am using the awesome work of Ismael Rac. You can find this tube and more

at his store. Please do not use his work without a proper license.

Scrapkit you can get at Scrap Dimensions.

Filter I used is Pentacom color dot and you can find it here.

Glitter tile by me and you can download it on Mediafire, or Box.

Ellipse tool is also needed.

Masks by Vix, both are in her Big Mask collection, I used VixBigMask001 and VixBigMask008, download from her blog.

Lets get started!

Open a 700X700 blank canvas. If you have a smaller screen then open a 600X600 blank canvas.

Now pick a color you want, and make it your foreground, and make your background null.

Open your preset shapes, and selesct Ellipse. Make your line style solid, and line size 15.00.

Draw out a medium sized circle, use my tags as a reference. Now convert to raster layer and duplicate.

Image>Mirror, make sure they are overlapping like mine, and then merge visible. Now open your glitter tile and

change the color to it. If you don't know how, then go to adjust>color balance>manual color correction.

Make sure manual target color is checked. In the source box, it needs to be a shade of grey, the target box is the color you want

your item to be, so you can right click your color and it will change the target color to that.

Once you have the color you want, make the pattern your foreground, and the background stays null. Line size change to 8.00

Draw an overlapping circle, convert to raster and dupicate and mirror. Use my tag as a reference.

Now go ahead and use your magic wand, feather and tolerance on 0, and click inside the first set of circles, but not the

middle where they overlap. Selections>Modify>Expand by 6

Now pick a gradient that matches your tube and make a new raster layer, move it to the bottom,

and floodfill it with your gradient. Now apply penta color dot with default settings.

Copy and paste your tube, how you want her, make sure she is right on top of the gradient layer.

When you have her placed, then Selections>invert, and on your tube layer hit delete. Select none.

Now, duplicate both tube layers, and on the originals go to Adjust>Blur>Guassian Blur 2.00

Now on both the original and the copy, play with your blend modes. On my left I did overlay on the original

and screen on the copy, and on the right I did multiply for the bottom and screen on the copy. You do what you want.

Now add a drop shadow to both sets of frames and merge visible.

Now add a new raster layer and move it to the bottom and floodfill with your gradient. Resize to 650X650 if you are

using a 700X700 canvas and 550X550 if you are using the 600X600 canvas. Make sure all layers is NOT checked.

now go to layers>load/save mask>Load mask from disk.Make sure source luminance, fit to layer and hide all mask are checked.

Merge group. Now open up the scrapkit, and open the SD-HNYClock and copy and paste it, and resize as needed I did it

650X650 pixels, place it on the very bottom.

Now go to Layers>Load/save mask>Load mask from disk, and look for VixBigMask001 and apply it with the same settings.

Now merge group.

now open SD-HNYTiara, and copy and paste it and resize it how you like. Place it on top of the top mask layer.

add a drop shadow, I did V&H 0 Opacity 40 and Blur 8.00 color black.

Now add anything else you may like.

Add your artist copyright, and your taggers mark and name, then merge visible. Saved as a png(gives you a clear background)

and you are all done! Hope you enjoyed my tutorial.

Oh So Blue-FTU

2011-10-07T09:44:00.003-05:00

(Click to see bigger image)

Supplies Needed: 1 tube of choice, I am using the wonderful work of Ismael Rac, and you can buy his tubes at Xerac Store.

Texture, is by the wonderfully talented Cin, she made these just for me, and I have permission to share.

However I have been instructed that if you share them, she will hunt you down and hand you by your

toenails and beat the heck out of you....so don't share them!

Download them here

Elements of choice, the frames are from Dozi and you can find her work here.

Preset shapes are needed as well, what you decide to put in your siggy will depend on the shape you use.

Also gradient of choice, I take 2 colors off of my tube usually.

Font used is Simply Glamourous, you can download it at Dafont.

Filter used: Penta color dot

For my second example I am using the work of VeryMany, you can find their tubes and PFD and SATC.

Now open a canvas that is 650X250, make sure it is transparent.

Now either pick 2 colors off your tube, or use a pre-made gradient, and flood fill your canvas.

Pick a texture from the pack, and copy and paste it to your palete.

Now go to adjust>Hue Saturation>Colorize and put both numbers on 0, then play with your blend layer to get the effect you

want. I used overlay.

Now copy and paste your tube. Then copy and paste it twice more, and place behind the original tube. Play with their blend

modes to get the effects you want. I used Screen.

Now duplicate your main tube, and on the original, go to adjust>Blur>Guassian blur, and put in 2.00, and change the

blend more to luminance(legacy). Now on the copy change her blend mode to overlay. Play with the blend modes if you want

see what works best for you.

Now open the frame of choice, if you used the same as me, then open it and resize it by 50% and copy and paste it, make sure it is under your

original tube and it's copy, and angle it,or leave how it is. Duplicate it and go to image>mirror, and place how you want.

Use the above tag as reference.

Now pick your color of choice and make it your background color, foreground should be on null, go to preset shapes and pick one

you like. Draw out a smaller sized shape and place where you want, then convert to a raster layer, you can duplicate

and place more around, and then close everything but your shapes and merge visible. add a drop shadow, add same

drop shdow to the frames and your top tube layer.

Click on your bottom layer and got to selections>Select all>Selections>Float>Selections>Defloat>Selections>Modify>

Select Selections Borders, check inside and anti alias on, set the number to 3 or 4, and click on your top layer

and start a new raster layer, and flood fill with color of choice, then deselect, and add noise, set the settings how you

like I used uniform, monochrome, and set it at 100%. Add a drop shadow.

Now you can add any elements you want, I just used bits and pieces from different kits I have.

You can add wording like I did in the second example or you can simply add your name and be done with it.

Make sure you add your copyright, and taggers mark. Save as a png.

Avatar:

Open a 150X150 tansparent canvas.

Copy and paste your tube. Use gradient of choice, and floodfill your raster layer 1.

On your gradient layer apply penta color dot, default settings.

Duplicate your tube layer and blur the bottom one, by going to adjust>blue>guassian blur 2.00

Play with the blend mode of both tube layers to find one you like. On this I used screen for the top layer and normal for the bottom.

Now go to your gradient layer and go to selections>select all>Selections>float>selections>defloat>Selections>modify>

select selection boarders, and set it at 3. Now deselect and add same noise that you did to the siggy. add a drop shadow.

Now add any little things you may want, such as the same preset shape, add copyright, name and save as a png.

You are all done now. Hope you enjoyed my tutorial.

Midnight Train-FTU

2011-09-14T17:17:00.003-05:00

Supplies needed:

1 tube of choice, you can do which ever you like, either an upclose like I did or half body.

I am using the wonderful art of Ismael Rac and you can get his tubes here.

Mask of choice, or you can use the same one I did which is from Weescotslass(thanks Chelle!)

It's WSL_Mask133 and you can download it here. Don't forget to leave some love.

Now for the back part I did 3 different layers, with different items, but same mask. I used

a texture, by me and my sunburst overlay, and then the tube. I also used a

freebie kit by me, you can use it or can it, it's up to you.

I used the white frame and flower from there.I also made the glitter heart chain

at the bottom of the black frames, it's all included in the file. You can download all that here.

I did wordart, to be honest it was for a challenge over at ACDiva, and it just seemed to fit.LOL

So you can take it or leave it, the font I used is Carlotta, and you can download it from Fonts101

Filters needed: Penta-color dot, and xenofex2-constilation(this one is optional, as its PTU)

Okay I think that covers everything. This tutorial is just a guideline, so I hope that you make

you tag your own.

Open a 700X700 blank canvas. I like to go big, if you don't try a 600X600 canvas. You can always

resize if you start out to big. Now forground on black, or what ever color you choose. Background

null. Go to your preset shapes and use rectangle, line size 7.00 Draw out a mid sized rectangle.

Now convert to a raster layer and duplicate, and go to image, now mirror, now you don't want them too far apart, so

try to space them like the tag above. Now get out your texture. Click with your magic wand inside the

first frame, go to selections, modify, expand by 4, now copy your texture and paste it over the frame.

go to selections, and invert, and hit delete, now move it under your frame layer.

~DO NOT DESELECT~

Now copy your tube and paste it on top of the texture. Now deslect, and repeat with the other frame.

Now is the good stuff. Play with your blend modes,and see which one you like the best. I went

with luminance legacy. On the second example I used screen. It just depends on what you like

and what works with the colors of the textures. Now add a dropshadow to both frames, I used

V&H-0

Opacity-60

Blur-8.00

Now merge visible.

Now open up my starburst overlay and copy raster 2 and paste it onto your canvas. Move it so it

is your bottom layer. Now you can leave it the grey shade it is, or you can color it, either way is fine.

How you color it is go to adjust>brightness>brightness/contrast have brightness on 78 and contrast -10

Now go to Adjust>Color Balance>manual color correction. Have manual target checked.

Source should be a shade of grey, click on the box with the color to change it if not. Now

the target color is the color you want to change it to you can either click on the box to bring

up colors or you can just right click the color you want to change it to. Now, if its too dark

change the shade of grey to a darker one, and if it's too light, change the shade of grey to a

lighter one. now resize it, if you have a 700 canvas, resize to 6oo pixels or there about, if you

went with a 600 canvas make it 500 pixels or there about. Make sure please that all layers is

NOT checked.

Now go to Layers>Load/Save mask>Load Mask from Disk. Select your mask from the drop down window

if you used the same one as me, look for WSL_Mask133. Now make sure source luminance,

fit to layer, and hide all mask is checked, and hit okay. Now over in your layer palette,

right click on the group layer and merge group.

Now copy and paste your texture on top of that and apply the mask, and merge group

Now copy and paste your tube and place it ontop of the mask later. Apply mask and merge group.

Now on your tube layer you just applied the mask to go to adjust>Hue and Saturation>Colorize

and put both numbers on 0. Now play with her blend mode. The first one I did lluminance legacy

the second I did screen, it's all what you like don't forget. Now also ont he tube layer go to penta

color dot, and leave it on default, click okay.

now this is optional, on the masked starburst layer you can apply xenofex2 constillation,

if you do these are the settings I used:

Star size-2.00

Size variation-50

Edge star Density-1

Overall star density-8

Overdrive-100

twinkle amount-100

twinkle rotation-45

keep original image checked, and leave random seed how it is. Click okay.

Open up SR-Frame and copy and paste it on top of your top group layer, and resize it by 75%.

scoot it down like mine is.

Open one of the glitter chains I put in the supplies if you want, and resize it, to fit in front

of your frames. You can also color these or leave them that color. These are also I CU item so

feel free to use them again and again, just send people to my blog to download.

Now open the flower and you can colorize it to match if you want,

or keep it the color it is, you are going to rezise it by 75% as well, and put one on each

side of the frames. See the above tag for placement. Add same drop shadow on the chain and flowers.

Add wordart if you want, or add your copyright, taggers mark and name.

Your all done. Merge visible, crop and save as a png to have a clear background.

Save as a jpeg to have a white background.

add a drop shadow to the new circle. I used V&H-1 Opacity-60 and blur-3.00(this is the same ds I use on everything.)
Now color your stars to liking. How you do that is simple really, go to adjust>hue/saturation>colorize,
make sure saturation is on 0. Then go to adjust>color balance>manual color correction; now make sure manual target color
is checked. The source box needs to be a shade of grey, and the target color is the color you wish to change it to, and you

dotted squares layer, and either keep them white or change the color, by doing the same thing you did with the stars.
Now selete the blacksquare layer and if your going to keep them black just add noise as you like, if you want to
change the color you need to lighten it first by going to adjust>brightness and contrast>brightness/contrast.
then make it lighter how you see fit. Add a drop shadow when done.
same thing applies to the white rectangle, you need to make it darker if you want to change the color, add a dropshadow when done.
Select your black layer on your layer palette and then use your magic wand to click inside it on your canvas.
Go to selections>modify>smooth and hit okay. Now copy and paste paper of choice. Deselect and delete the original layer.
Now open up the funkycircleborder and copy and paste it. Now it is slightly too big so resize it to liking
and place it on top of the rectangle. Now add any other elements you may want, totally change it up.
When done, make sure you add a drop shadow to everything. Then merge visible. Crop down; add name,
copywrite, and taggers mark and you are all done. Save as a png.

Naughty Kitty PTU

2010-08-14T12:43:00.004-05:00

Supplies needed:
1 tube of choice, ummmm preferably a kitty cat one.LOL I am using the fantastic art of Toosh, and you can get it and your license here.
You can purchase this awesome kitty kit called "here kitty kitty" at Pimp my tags with scraps! It's by Tammykat.
Template is by Missy its #356 get it here, and leave some love.

Font I used for the name is firefly castle, it is FTU and you can download it and a ton of other awesome fonts here.
Filter needed: Noise that comes with Psp.

Lets get started!
Open the template, and hit shift +D to duplicate and close out the original. Delete the layer that says
"by Missy" and then open the background layer. Select it and go to image>canvas size> put in 700X700
so that we have room to work.
Delete the back ground layer. Select frame 3 background and click in it with your magic wand. Make sure
feather and tolerance are on 0. Copy and paste a paper of choice. Deselect and delete the original layer.
Now select frame 3 layer, and you can either put a paper over it, or you can recolor and add noise like I did.
If you choose to add paper, then Use your magic wand and click on it, then go to selections>modify>smooth
Make sure both smoothing amount and corner scale are set to 10, copy and paste paper of choice, got to
selections>invert, and on the paper layer hit delete. Deselect, delete original and add a small drop shadow.
If you want to recolor and add noise here is what you do: Make sure you have it selected in your layer palette.
Next go to Adjust>brightness and contrast>brightness/contrast, make sure contrast is on 10 then adjust
the brightness level to what you want it to be depending on how light or dark you want your color.
Then go to adjust>color balance>manual color correction Have manual target color selected.
The source box needs to be a shade of grey, and the target box needs to be changed to the color you want. Now
if you color came out a little to dark, then make the shade of grey darker, and if its too light make it lighter.
yeah I know...it makes perfect sense right?LOL
After that is done go to adjust>add/remove noise>add noise make it monochromatic,random, and 66%
Now on the glittered heart layer I left it white, if you want to change it you can by the steps I gave you above,
same goes with the heart layer, I just changed it to a soft purple.
Now the frame 2 background click in it and copy and paste your paper of choice, same with frame 1 back ground.
delete the originals. Now on the frame 2 and 1 I clicked on them with my magic wand and smoothed it, as explained above,
and used a paper to replace the original. Deselect and delete the original. Add a drop shadow to both frames.
on the circle layer I did just like I did the frames, make sure you smooth, or it will look jagged, delete the original
and add a drop shadow.
select the film strip background and then use your magic wand and click inside it then copy and paste paper
of choice. Delselect and delete the original. Now add a drop shadow to the film strip layer.
add your elements of choice, and your tube. Add your name, copywrite, and taggers mark. Make sure
to merge visible, and save as a png. Your all done! Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and maybe learned something new.

Strike a Pose PTU

2010-08-12T13:55:00.003-05:00

Supplies needed:
4 tubes of choice, 1 main and 3 to go in frames. I am using the work of Pinuptoons, you may purchase his work here.
Scrapkit by Sarah, you can purchase it at Pimp my Tags with Scraps! It's called Strike a Pose.
I also used parts of her add-on freebie, which you can download on her blog here.
Template is by Cakes, and you can find it here. Its called bitch squad, but I removed all the word art.
Font is An Accidental Kiss, its FTU and you can download it here.

Open the template, and hit shift + D to duplicate; close out the original, now since this temp is pretty big
to begin with we won't make it any bigger. There is plenty of room to work. Delete words, word art and the maker info.
On your layer pallete select the very bottom layer called oval. It's already black, if you want to keep it like
that then that is fine; however if you want to change the color then follow the steps here.
First go to adjust>brightness/contrast and have contrast set at 10, and brightness depends on how light or dark you want
your color, I would put it anywhere from 159-190. Then go back to adjust>color balance>Manual color correction
Now here is where you can match your color to any part of your tube, or kit.
Have manual taget color checked, and the souce box needs to be a shade of grey. The target box is
the color you want it to be just use your mouse and right click the color you want. If it is too dark make
the grey lighter, if too light, make the grey darker.
Select the front oval layer in the layer pallete, and using your magic wand, make sure feather and tolerance
are both on 0 and click inside of it. Now go to selections>modify>smooth> make sure smoothing amount and
corner scale are both set on 10; now copy and paste your paper of choice. Deselect and delete the original
layer.
Repeat for rightsq and leftsq, and also add a drop shadow to them. For the layer "another rectangle" You can simply
recolor or you can click on the white parts only and smooth, then copy and paste paper of choice, then repeat
that for the blue strip in the middle, then delete the original layer. Do what you want with circles 2 and 3
and for the circle layer do like the squares.
For the rectangle layer just click inside with your magic wand, since its under a frame you don't have to smooth.
copy and paste paper of choice. Deselect and delete the original layer.
Close all layers except the star layers. Merge visible then close, open starline 1and 2 and merge visible
then open everything up again. I changed the brightness on the merged star layers and made them light pink
then added noise, and a gradient glow. How you do it, it all up to you. On the merged star line I just
made the brightness 255 so they are now white.
Add your tube, and add a drop shadow it it. Now add elements you may like.
add name, copywrite and taggers mark and you are all done. Merge visible and save as a png.

We are going to start from the bottom up, so on raster 8, make sure it's selected in your layer palette.
Then on the canvas use your magic wand, make sure feather and tolerance are both on 0 and click inside
both skinny rectangles. Go to selections, modify, smooth. Make sure smoothing amount and corner
scale are both set to 10. I used cc pp 06 for those.
if you used the same kit as me you likely have to resize the paper it's not quite big enough to fit
so go to resize bicubic all layers checked and resize by 115%. Now copy and paste your paper.
go to selections, invert, and make sure you are on your paper layer hit the delete button.
Select none.
Now do not delete raster 8, I want you to select it in the layer palette, and go to adjust,
hue and saturation,then colorize, and put both on 0, this will make it grey. Then go to adjust,
color balance, then manual color correction. Make sure your top color is a shade of grey, and
manual target is checked. Then right click on one of your tubes or a paper from your kit to match the color.
if its too dark then pick a darker shade of grey. and if its too light, pick a lighter shade of grey.
Change the colors of the stars like we just did for raster 8. If you want to give them a little glitter
go to adjust, add/remove noise, noise have random, and monochrome checked and set the percent to 58.
add a drop shadow to your stars with this setting:

Now in your layer palette select raster 6 and click in it with your magic wand. Copy and paste paper
of choice. Go to selections invert and hit the delete button. delete raster 6 now. and select none.
on raster 7 change the color like we did with raster 8. and if you want add noise to it...I love me some
glitter so I added it in. I left raster 1 alone, but if you want to change it in anyway now is the time
to do it.
select raster 3 and since its a gradient we can't use our magic wands to select it, so to to
selection, select all, then selections, float, then selections defloat.
Pick a paper of choice and copy and paste it. Deselect. delete raster 3.
select raster 2 and go to effects, xero, fritillary use these settings:
Granularity 5
Aggression 9
Tesselation 10
Variation 110
On raster 4 and copy of raster 4 change the color, I did opposing colors, with raster 5 and copy of raster 5.
on raster 5 and its copy add the drop shadow to it. Add a drop shadow to raster 2.
open cc frame 08 and copy and paste it to your canvas on top of copy of raster 5.
use your magic wand and click inside each frame then go to selection, modify, expand by 4 pixels.
copy and paste a paper of choice, and go to invert and hit the delete button, DO NOT DESELECT.
Copy and paste a tube into the frames on the right, then repeat for the frames on the left.
make sure on each tube layer you hit delete. on both tube llayers change there blend mode to overlay
or play with the different modes to see what you like. Then add your final tube, on top of the frame.
add a drop shadow to the frame. if you want a softer looking main tube, duplicate it 2X on the
bottom tube go to blur, gaussian blur and put in 3.00 then opn the top 2 layers change the blend mode to
soft light.
Now add any elements you may want, and make sure to add a drop shadow to them.
Make sure to add your copywrite, taggers mark, and name. To save as a png(clear back ground) merge visible

Angelic

2009-08-16T20:03:00.003-05:00

1 Tube of choice I am using the work of Ismael Rac. You can purchase his work and a license through AMI.

Glitter comes from Delicious Scraps, its one of her CU freebies. Please go to her site to DL.

Glitter tile around the frame Came from Yarrow. Another CU freebie, go to her site to DL.

Fonts: for the word Angelic-Angelic War, and for the name Ibleum, both can be found at Dafont.

put the names in the serch box to bring them up.

Filter:DBX Flux Bright noise. If you don't have this, then the noise filter that came with PSP will work.

2 Textures of choice, if you want the ones I used you can Dl here and here. Or visit this site(where I got them)

to pick your own.

Brush of choice, I would tell you where I got mine...but I can't remember.LOL

Lets get Started.

Open a 700X700 canvas(yes we will resize, I just like lots of room to work)

Pick a gradient from your tube, either one you already had or pick two colors from your tube.

Make the gradient your background and forground null. Draw out a long medium rectangle and convert to raster.

Open your 2 textures, and on the layer with your rectangle go to Selections, Select all, float defloat.

The go to Selections Smooth, make sure both smoothing amount and corner scale are both on 10.

copy hgtexture_02 and paste it over the rectangle. Do the same thing with hg texture 104.

the go to Selections invert, and on your texture layers hit delete. Select none.

On the blend modes make your top layer Multiply, and the one under it overlay. Or you can play with the

blend modes and come up with some thing better that you like.

Next get your glitter tile a open it in psp I took the grey one and colored it to match the tube.

Make the gliter tile your forground and background null. Line width of 10.00. Draw out a rectangle frame to go

around your rectangle. Convert to raster.

Now pick your font whether its the one I used or one you picked and type out a word that describes your tube.

I used Angelic. Stretch it so it fits in the who rectangle. Add your DBX flux bright noise

intensity set at 46. Add a drop shadow I use:

V&H-1

Opacity-40

Blur-3.00

Change the blend mode to soft light, and duplicate 2 times.

Now add a new layer go to the frame layer and click with you magic want inside the frame. Selections

modify, expand by 5.00. Now add your brush of choice make it the same color as your word

and do the same thing with the dbx flux, blend mode,and only duplicate 1 time.

Open your glitter spill and resize it, I resized mine by 50% bicubic, make sure all layers is checked.

Color to something off setting, I chose gold. It will over hang so go back to your frame layer and click

inside it again with your magic wand and expand it by 5.00 then copy and paste it on to your canvas.

Invert and make sure you are on the glitter layer and hit delete. Select none.

Add your tube, if you are using the one I am resize by 85%. Make it your bottom layer

have it coming out of the top of the rectangle.

Duplicate your tube layer three times. On the original go to adjust, blur gaussian blur 5.00

the the next 2 layers make the blend modes soft light. Or play with the blend modes to find what you like.

Add your copywrite, and taggers mark. Add drop shadow to the frame, and to the top copy of the tube.

Same drop shadow as above. Merge visible.

Now for the name pick a soft contrasting color, add the bright noise to it.

Add above drop shadow and change the blend mode to soft light. Duplicate it 2 times. So its soft

but not in your face. Crop and save. Your all done! I hope this was painless, and easy for you.

I would love to see results and you can e-mail them to me at txvaliegrrl@sbcglobal.com

for subject please put tutorial, or it will get trashed.

Star Power

2009-07-02T11:34:00.003-05:00

Supplies needed:
1 tube of choice. I am using the work of Elias Chatzoudis. You can purchase his works from MPT
Doodle of choice. I got mine here. I can't find what page, She has so many great things, so you can pick another.
Filters Needed:Xero-Fritllary & Radience, Dbx-Bright noise, Eye candy 4000, gradident glow(If you don't have grandient glow
the your drop shadow will work, just change the color from back to white.)
Template #132 by Ali and you can get it on her blog here.
Font of choice.

Lets get started!

Open the template and hold down shift+D to duplicate, now close the original.
On the very top layer, is the star frame, click inside of it using your magic wand, making
sure your feather and tolerance is set to 0.
Go to selections, modify, expand. And expand by 4 Copy and paste your tube, moving the layer below the frame.
go to selections, invert, and making sure you are on your tube layer hit delete. Deselect
now the layer thats below your tube should be the black star, click on it with your magic wand, then
add a new layer. Pick a color from your tube and fill this new layer. Deselect and delete the original
layer. Now on your new star layer add dbx-flux, and you might have to adjust the settings, darker colors seem to
need a larger amount.
On your tube layer Apply xero radience default settings. then duplicate 2 times, so you have a total
of 3 tube layers. On the bottom layer go to blur Gaussian blur and set it to 3.00.
On the next two layers set the blend mode to soft light.
On raster layer 3, use your magic wand and click inside both squares. add a new layer, then pick
a Gradient that matches your tube. Flood fill the new layer. The go to xero fritillary Leave the top 3
numbers on defalut, and change the variation to your liking. In the second example I used these settings:
Granularity-5
Aggression-3
Tesselation-10
Variation-70
Now add your doodle of choice if you want to. Deselect and delete the original squares.
On raster 2 click on the bars with your magic wants and go to selections, modify, smooth. Make sure both
smoothing amount and corner scale are set at 10. Go up to your gradient and click invert.
Add a new raster layer and flood fill it with your new gradient. do fritillary again, but change the variation.
Deselect. Now you can change the color of the frames by going to adjust, brightness and contrast, make either black
by making brightness -255 and contrast 10, or you can make it a shade of grey that you can then use hue/saturation to color.
In the first example I wanted black, then the second I adjusted.
On the star frame with is the very top layer I als applied eye candy 4000 gradient glow. under colors apply the fat.
under the basic tab make the width 3.00 and leave the other settings as is.
Add a drop shadow to both the square frames and star frame using the settings:
V&H-1
Opacity-40
Blur-3.00
on the stars layer you will have to adjust the brightness once again, if you don't want to keep them black
and color to match. Then add the same gradient glow, and drop shadow. On the second example I added dbx flux-bright noise
before adding the gradient glow and drop shadow.
Now just add your name, taggers mark and copywrite and you are all done.
Hope you enjoyed my tutorial.

Tease

2009-06-16T20:34:00.003-05:00

Supplies Needed:
1 Tube of choice, I am using the work of Elias Chatzoudis. You need to purchase his work through MPT.
Font used: Bank Gothic.
Diamonds, glitter tile and template made by me

I made the gliter tile(which isn't all that great) and the template.
Word art is also by me, you can use this, or make up your own.
Anyways you can get supplies here.
Filters needed:
Penta- Color dot Mura Meister- Tone
Xenofex 2.0 - Constilation
Lets get started.

Open the template and hit shift+D to duplicate, and close the original.
Click on one of the layers and go to image, canvas size and put in 700X700
This is just to give us room to work. On both frame layers change the color using the hue and saturation.
I simply went to adjust, brightness/contrast and changed brightness to -255 and contrast to 10. To make it black.
If you want white just go the other difrection and make brightness 255.
You can place your tube however you like.
On the frame back 1 click it with your magic wand, and the add a layer right on top. Fill this layer
with your gradient. Delete the original background. Then repeat with frame back 2.
Then on both layers apply Penta color dot and change the distance to 6, or whatever you think looks good.
Now on the first square apply xenofex constilation With the following settings:

On the circle layer click on it with your magic wand, make sure feather and tolerance are on 0.
then go back to your gradient and open it up, and click the invert button to flip the colors.
Go to Selections, modify, Smooth, and make sure both numbers ar set at 10.00.
Add a new layer and fill with gradient.
KEEP SELECTED.
Add yet another layer, then add Mura Meister tone, change to FG to a contrasting color. I chose black.
Apply the tone, and then deselect. Delete the original circle.
Grabbing your glitter tile, change its color with hue and saturation, then set as your forground, make your
background null. Go to preset shapes, look for eclipse,
Line size 10.00
then on top of your tone layer draw out a circle frame.
Add a drop shadow to all three frames and your tube.
Add word art, I have already added the gradient glow so you won't need to. Place the word art where you want then
add the same drop shadow you added to the frames and tube.
Next take the diamond and apply it where and how you want. Or if you want to leave it off, Whatever works for you.
Apply copywrite, name, and taggers mark and your all done. On the name I made the layer overlay to make it blend well.
Crop to fit and save as jpeg or png.
If you save as a png(for those times forums are colored) take off the white background, merge visible, and save
as a png.

Hope you enjoyed my tutorial.

What you need:
3-4 tubes of your choice, I am using the wonderful art of Ismael Rac, you need a license to use his work and may get
one from AMI.
Texture by hybrid-genesis here

Font of choice, I am using futurist fixed and you can download it here.

Mask is by Lou at Simply Devilish Scraps. Its mask #2

Lets get started!
Open your tubes of choice. Then go ahead and open a 700X700 canvas. Don't worry its just a lot of room to work.
We will be resizing it.LOL
Pick a gradiant of choice, anything you want at all. Make it your background. Forground set to null
and draw out a horizontal rectangle(see tag) Go to:
Selections-
Select all
Selections-
Float
Selections-
Defloat
The copy and paste your texture. Make sure it fits nicely over your rectangle.
After you do that copy and paste your tubes and place them how you would like.
Go to Selections-Invert and going one by one on your tube layers and texture layer hit your delete button.
This gets rid of all the overhang.
Close everything out but your tubes and merge visible. Duplicate the tubes 3X.
On the bottom layer go to adjust, blur, gaussian blur and put in 3.00. Then make the blend mode soft light.
The next layer up make soft light as well, and the top layer make overlay.
On the texture layer make it overlay. If you texture had some color to it you might want to greyscale it
before applying the blend mode, just so there is no conflict of color and your gradient really pops.
Next pick a color from the tag and set it to forground and background have at null.
go to your preset shapes line size 20.00 and draw out a frame for your rectangle. Add drop shadow of choice.
Next change the forground color to a contrasting color and change you line size to 2.00 on line
style pick which ever you think will look best I went with dash dot on the first example and diamond on the second.
Its all in what you think fits.
Next pick yet another color that matches your tag and make it for your background
forground null, make sure your line style is back to solid and draw out a thick rectangle
that will sit under your frame. Change the blend layer to what ever looks good I used multiply.
Add name to the tag, your copywrite and taggers mark. Merge visible.
Add another layer and floodfill with color or gradient of choice. now resize by 85%
grab your raster deform tool and shape it so its a little bit bigger then the tag.
Apply the mask make sure its on fit to canvas, and source luminance is not checked. Them merge group.
Then merge visible. Grab your crop tool and select layer opague. Now if you want to be able to use this
tag on colored forums and such, then you need to make sure you don't have a white background, and save as a PNG
however if you want the white background simply save as a jpeg and your done.
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial.
Here is a second example.

Duplicate the merged layer and on the original NOT the copy go to adjust, blur, gaussian blur, and for radius put in 15.00 then on this same layer

go to effects, distortions effects, pixilate, use defualt setings. open your background back up, and you can see the subtle effect. Add any other elements you may want. I added the word art and a few different elements. Make sure to add drop shadow to any elements you add. Copy and paste your tube where you think she goes best. Add a drops shadow to her too.
