**CT PTU TUTORIAL - Proud & Beautiful**
-vm.png)
*This tutorial is written by me using Photoshop CS6 but any version will work.
Any similarity to any other tut is coincidental.*
Supplies:
Tube of choice. I'm using the artwork of Verymany.
You must purchase a license to be able to use their work.
You may do that at VMT store.
Kit of choice. I'm using PTU kit 'Proud & Beautiful'
by A [Space] Between. You can find it HERE.
Mask of choice - Mask 50 MB and SW
Font of choice - Levitee
Let's get started...
Open new canvas 600x600.
From the kit past Element 66 and place at the center. Drop Shadow:
Click on the background layer, then add Element 57 right around frame
with shadow. On it place Element 48, resize as shown and shadow:
Now add Paper 13, use Eraser Tool to remove extras
(paper should be only inside frame circle). Take full size tube and
place it on the paper right side so only lips are showen. Then right
click on the layer and Create Clipping Mask and set Bend Mode to Overlay.
Make a copy of that layer but set Opacity on 72%. Now take another
full size tube, Flip Horizontal and place it on the paper left side.
Set Blend Mode to Overlay with Opacity on 68%. Make a copy of that,
but no changes. In case some parts of one tube goes over the other tube,
just erese those parts. Click on the frame layer now. From the kit past
Element 48 and place it at the center as it is. Right click on that layer
and Create Clipping Mask. Now place full size tube in the center of frame,
resize as shown:
Use Eraser Tool to remove little at the tube bottom and then make a
tube copy. For the original tube layer use filter Paint Doubs as:
and add shadow. Then click on Adjustment>Hue/Saturation and set as:
Click on that layer then and Create Clipping Mask (it will apply for the
tube only this way). Now go to the Adjustmen>Brightness/Contrast and set:
Again Create Clipping Mask for that layer. Those adjustments are between
two tubes layers. Now for the tube copy layer use filter Guassian Blur:
Also set Blend Mode to Overlay with Opacity on 70%. We'll cover tube
bottom now and all of the elements will have Shadow. First place Element
19 at the tube right side. Add Element 43 then and place it so the right
side of the element be at the canvas center. Make a copy of it and
Rotate 180. Move it little up and to the right side, it should be on the
flower. On that flower add Element 47. On it place Element 25. Make a
copy of it, Flip Horizontal and place on the left ribbon. On it add
Element 47. At the center, between those elements, place Element 63.
In the middle of it past Element 65. Take Element 18, Rotate 180 and
place right from it. On them place Element 42. At the end add again
Element 18 and place it left from the centar, blue flower.
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 13.
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.

Matched this gorgeous tube with equally gorgeous PTU scrap kit from Dees'Sign Depot
called ''Beautiful Day'' which can be found - HERE.
This kit is on sale, whole month long, costing only $2.45!
As well, you get a bonus kit with every 5$ spent in the store xoxo.
I love you PTU TUTORIAL
This tutorial was written by me on Feb 11, 2015 using Photoshop CS6 but any version will work.
Any resemblance to any other tutorial is pure coincidence.
SUPPLIES:
I used the artwork of Verymany. Tube can be purchased - HERE.
You must purchase a license to be able to use their tubes.
I used PTU kit Forever Love from Inzpired Creationz. You can buy it - HERE.
I used Mask from Dee at Dangerously Delicious.
DD_VMask_2 which can be downloaded - HERE.
Fonts - I used Good Karma demo, and Notalot25 for credits. www.dafont.com
Brush (right click and save as):
Open new canvas 450x450.
Take Ribbon_2 element from the kit, resize it as on image below:
Open up tube file, select close up layer, HOLD CTRL+T and reduce close up as follows:
Once done, move close up layer on canvas we are working on, place it below ribbon
layer inside the frame. Like on image below.
Click on MAGIC WAND TOOL, make sure ribbon layer is selected and select area inside the frame.
Hold SHIFT and select area inside the bow.
Now SELECT close up tube layer, move cursor over selected area
- RIGHT CLICK > LAYER VIA COPY. Delete original close up layer.
Now you should have face inside the frame.
Make sure close up tube layer is selected - should be called LAYER 1,
go to IMAGE > ADJUSTMENTS > HUE/SATURATION
Apply settings like on image below:
Duplicate LAYER 1, it should be called LAYER 1 COPY.
Apply BLEDING OPTIONS ON SOFT LIGHT.
Select one more time LAYER 1, go to FILTERS> SHARPEN >SHARPEN.
Apply DROP SHADOW on Ribbon_2 element:
OPACITY - 50%
DISTANCE - 11
SIZE - 10
Go to FILTERS> SHARPEN >SHARPEN Ribbon_2 element.
Take Ribbon_1 element from the kit.
Place it on the canvas and apply settings below:
Go to FILTERS> SHARPEN >SHARPEN Ribbon_1 element.
Place it at the end of layer palette.
Delete part of the ribbon in left corner as we don't need that.
Apply same shadow settings as on Ribbon_2 element.
Add Rose_1 element, reduce it to H: W: 70%
Go to FILTERS> SHARPEN >SHARPEN.
Apply same shadow settings as on Ribbon_2 element.
Add Tag_2 element, leave size as it is.
Go to EDIT > TRANSFORM > ROTATE 90° CW.
Place it below Rose_1 element, as on the tag.
Go to FILTERS> SHARPEN >SHARPEN.
Add drop shadow:
OPACITY - 75%
DISTANCE - 5
SIZE - 5
Add Charm_1 element, leave size as it is, place it above Tag_2 element layer.
Go to FILTERS> SHARPEN >SHARPEN.
Apply same shadow settings as on Tag_2 element.
Add Wordart_4 and place it above Ribbon_1 element layer.
Resize it - I used W:H: settings 184%
Place it as shown on the tag.
Add Diamond_1 above Wordart_4 layer. Leave size as it is.
Go to FILTERS> SHARPEN >SHARPEN.
Apply same shadow settings as on Tag_2 element.
Now add mask, I used Paper_6 from the kit.
If you don't know to how to apply/add mask on PS 6, check my other tutorials,
every step is expained there. I am gonna skip this step on this one tutorial.
Once you make a mask and place it on the tag, use settings as shown below:
PLACE MASK AS LAST LAYER ON LAYER PALETTE.
On the very bottom.
Add brush I supplied to you on canvas. Place it above mask layer.
Add Sparkles_3 element on it as well. Resize it.
Add your copyright information, name and that is it!
I hope you enjoyed and found this tutorial useful.
