postheadericon Summer Fun - PTU Tutorial

Scrapkit used: Orange Crush Taggers Kit
Eye Candy 4000 - Gradient Glow
Masks
2 Font(s) of choice
I'll be using Orange Crush which is a PTU kit
You can find it here along with some other great kits by Missy!

Open a new 700x700 image.
Floodfill with white for now.
Open up Crush_Frame2.png and resize it by 60% or so.
Copy and paste as a new layer.

Open up Crush_Paper12.jpg and resize it by 70% or so.
Copy and paste as a new layer and put it below the frame.
Go to layers, load/save mask & load mask from disk.
I'm using the mask Vix_mask190 which you can find here.

Use the settings:
Source luminance
Fit to layer
Invert transparency unchecked
Hide all mask is checked
Hit load.
In your layer palette right click and merge group.

Open up Crush_Paper7.jpg and resize it by 60%.
Copy and paste as a new layer and bring it below the frame layer.

Open up Crush_ButterfliesSwirl.png and resize it by 60% or so.
Copy and paste as a new layer below the mask layer.
Position it to your liking..you can refer to my tag for placement.
Duplicate this layer, mirror and then flip it.
Again, position it to your liking.

Next, open up Crush_BowRibbon2.png and resize it by 50% or so.
Copy and paste as a new layer.
Place it above the frame layer.
Add a dropshadow of 2, 0, 44, 5 & black. Hit ok.

Now open up the Crush_RibbonStaple2.png and resize it by 20%.
Copy and paste as a new layer and position it above the curled ribbon.
Add the same dropshadow as above.

Open up Crush_Paper11.jpg and resize it approx 80%.
Copy and paste as a new layer and place it at the bottom of your layers.
Go back to layers, load/save mask and load mask from disk.
Use the above mask settings except change your mask to Vix_Mask327.
You can find these masks here.

For the word summerfun, I used the font impact, size 72.
Choose 2 colors from your tag.
Add a gradient glow using Eye Candy 4000.
Apply a fat white glow then apply another one using 2 colors from your tag.
Add a dropshadow.

For the name I used Buffet Script, size 72 with only a dropshadow.
I resized the bubbles element and placed them on each side of the text.

Finally open up your tube of choice.
I'm using the artwork of Jose Cano.
You need a license to use his work which you can find here.
Resize the tube to your liking and place it behind your text.
Add a dropshadow of choice and don't forget to tag your work.

And thats it!!
Wow its been too long and I hope the tutorial was easy enough to follow.
