CT PTU TUTORIAL - Stessy Steampunk

*This tutorial is written by me using Photoshop CS5 but any version will work.

Any similarity to any other tut is coincidental.*

Supplies:

**Both tube and kit aren't available anymore**

Tube of choice. I'm using the artwork of Marc Duval

You must purchase a license to be able to use their work.

You may do that only at SATC.

The kit of choice. I'm using PTU kit 'Steampunks'

by Bibi's Collection. Can be found at SATC.

Mask of choice.

Font of choice. Spahrty Girl

Let's get started...

Open a new canvas 600 x 600.

From the kit past Element #58. Resize and place more to the left.

Under it place Paper #6, resize and erase extras.

Then past Element #61. Resize and Rotate a bit.

Add Element #42 and #81 in that order. Resize both.

Place Tube on all that. More to the right side.

Then add some element at the bottom to cover everything.

Element #126 (x2)

Element #9

Element #31

Element #43

Element #118

Element #15

Element #99

Element #88

Add Drop Shadow, Opacity 50% on all.

Now let's add mask:

Open your mask as new image.

Mask layer will be called 'Background' and will be locked.

Double click on same layer, press OK. Layer name will be 'Layer 0'.

Add a new layer above it and flood fill with color of choice,

or use a paper from kit .

I use Paper #11.

Click on mask layer and hold CTRL+A to Select All, CTRL+C to Copy.

Click on the paper layer, hit Q to turn on Quick Mask mode.

CTRL+V to paste the mask. It should now be kinda red.

Hit Q to turn off Quick Mask mode

and there should be shown selection on your canvas.

Hit the Add Layer Mask.

On paper layer, right click and Convert to Smart Object.

Right click again and Rasterize Layer.

Drag completed mask to your tag canvas as the bottom layer.

Resize it if needed.

Add proper copyright and your name on tag.

Hide or delete bottom 'Background' layer. And save your tag as .PNG file.

That's it! Thank you for reading. I would love to see any tags made with this tutorial.
